Into The Woods

“Once upon a time?” “Happily ever after?” Not necessarily so in this Tony Award-winning musical with a moral about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.

When a baker and his wife learn that they’ve been cursed by the witch next door and are unable to have children, they set out on a journey to break the spell. While on their quest, they encounter familiar characters from the fairytales: Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack and the Beanstalk. And while Act One plays out as “happy” fairytales do, Act Two serves as a reality check, offering consequences traditional fairytales leave out.
