Into the Woods

Plot

"Into the Woods brings to musical life Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Ridinghood and other well-known fairytale characters. Interwoven with these classic tales is the story of the baker and his wife, whose longing for a child is thwarted by a mischeivous witch who lives next door. James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim have fashioned a musical which goes beyond mere Broadway razzmatazz. Sondheim's songs, seamlessly melded to Lapine's text, are perfect expressions of character and action which reflect the complications of living in modern society and the difficult choices we encounter on the paths of our lives." --
