Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Into the Woods weaves classic fairy tales into a clever, enchanting musical about wishes, consequences, and the paths we choose. Familiar characters—Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack, Rapunzel, and a Baker and his Wife—venture into the woods to pursue their dreams, only to discover that happily ever after is more complicated than it seems.
With a brilliant score, sharp humor, and surprising emotional depth, Into the Woods blends fantasy with real-world lessons about responsibility, community, and growing up. Magical, witty, and deeply moving, this modern classic delights audiences while asking timeless questions about what we truly want—and what it costs to get it.
