Music Theater International describes "Into the Woods” as “James
Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook
characters [bringing] 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.”
