Into the Woods masterfully weaves together classic fairy tales with a sharp, modern twist. Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack, and others venture into the woods in pursuit of their wishes—only to discover that happily ever after is more complicated than it seems. With Stephen Sondheim’s brilliant score and witty storytelling, this beloved musical explores responsibility, community, and the consequences of our choices. Funny, poignant, and deeply moving, Into the Woods is a theatrical favorite that resonates across generations.
