James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s modern classic brings together favorite fairytale characters to create a musical that is both timeless and relevant.
Both enchanting and touching, the Tony Award-winning book and score follows multiple storylines that merge: 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 with disastrous results.
One of Sondheim’s most popular works, Into the Woods is a musically sophisticated show infused with touches of dark comedy, and featuring unforgettable songs and fantastical design elements that create a magical and mystical world.

Lean In & Engage
Glimpses of the Creative Process
“In this production of ‘Into the Woods,’ we’re exploring the poignant desperation of characters whose lives hinge on the fulfillment of a wish. We’re not just venturing into the fairy-tale woods; we’re navigating the complex landscape of human vulnerability and resilience. It’s an evocative experience that delves into the heart of what drives us — both the wishes we make and the paths we choose, and sometimes, are forced to take.”
– Mark Schneider, guest director
