Into the Woods
Escape into a fantastical fairytale adventure where dreams come true, but not free.
A trove of storybook characters’ paths intertwine as they chase their deepest desires through an enchanted forest. However, once they receive their happily ever after, the unintended consequences of granted wishes unravel their worlds.
Weaving a euphoric score including the songs “Giants in the Sky,” “On the Steps of the Palace,” “No One Is Alone,” and “Children Will Listen” with a darkly humorous book, Into the Woods is a sophisticated musical twist on beloved childhood fables.
“Into the Woods features some of Sondheim’s wittiest lyrics as well as achingly beautiful melodies”
― The Hollywood Reporter
