Synopsis
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine bring beloved fairytale characters together in the Tony Award-winning musical Into the Woods — a timeless modern classic filled with humor, heart, and unforgettable music.
The story follows a Baker and his wife, Cinderella, and Jack as they pursue their deepest wishes. But when a Witch’s curse is revealed, their journeys intertwine in unexpected ways, proving that every wish comes with consequences.
With its enchanting score, and magical storytelling, Into the Woods remains one of Sondheim’s most celebrated works.
