WINNER LAURENCE OLIVIER AWARDS
BEST MUSICAL REVIVAL
Into the Woods takes the stories of the Brothers Grimm and gives them a dark and humorous twist.
The popular tales of Red Ridinghood, Jack (of Beanstalk fame), Cinderella and Rapunzel are interwoven with that of the Baker and his Wife and their quest to have a child. However this re-telling goes beyond ‘happily ever after’ as the familiar characters find themselves in unfamiliar circumstances and hopes and dreams are questioned and revisited.
2010 marked Stephen Sondheim's 80th Birthday.
This award-winning production of Into the Woods is now available to be downloaded from Digital Theatre
Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine. Presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited on behalf of Music Theatre International of New York.
