James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook  characters and bring 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.

One of Sondheim's most popular works, Into the Woods is a  musically sophisticated show with the opportunity to feature actors  adept at dark comedy. Designers will especially enjoy highlighting the  fantastical elements of this magical word.
