Description

*Into the Woods* brings to musical life Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding hood and other well-known fairy-tale characters. Interwoven with these classic tales is the story of the baker and his wife, whose longing for a child is thwarted by a mischievous witch who lives next door. James Lapine and Stephen Soldheim have fashioned a musical which goes beyond mere Broadway razzmatazz. Sondheim's songs, seamlessly melded to Lapine's text, are perfect expressions of character and action which reflect the complications of living in modern society and the difficult choices we encounter on the paths of our lives. *Into the Woods* is the second collaboration of Sondheim and Lapine who were awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Sunday in the Park with George in 1984. In addition to its successful Broadway run, Into the Woods has toured the country and produced a Grammy award-winning original cast album.
