INTO THE WOODS

Into the Woods is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine. It is the imaginative account of what happens when the lives of new and old fairy-tale characters dramatically and humorously come together. Cinderella, Jack, Little Red Riding Hood, the Baker and his wife set out for the forest on a quest to find "happily ever after". Along the way, they meet Rapunzel, a Wicked Witch, a wolf, vengeful giants, a couple of charming princes, and their own destiny. With wit and wisdom, the authors hae given us a parable about the loss of innocence, the joys and sorrows of adulthood, and the price paid for getting the things you really want.
