INTO THE WOODS

Music and Lyrics By Stephen Sondheim

Book By James Lapine

"Be careful what you wish for" seems to be the ongoing theme in "Into the Woods". The story follows The Baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to go to the King's Festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give some milk. By the end of Act I, everyone has gotten their wish and will seemingly live happily ever after. But in Act II, when Jack's beanstalk brings them a visit from an angry Giant, we see how the consequences of their actions haunt them in disastrous ways. The community must come together to save each other and their kingdom, but sacrifices must be made. | Suitable for ages 6 and older
