SHOW SUMMARY

James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook
characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece...
and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both
enchanting and touching.

The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child;
Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes
his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot
have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to
break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their
actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

One of Sondheim's most popular works, Into the Woods is a musically
sophisticated show with the opportunity to feature actors adept at dark
comedy.
