Synopsis:
Winner of the Drama Critics Circle Award and the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, and three 1988 Tony Awards, "Into The Woods" is a brilliantly conceived exploration of what happens after "happily ever after." The show, which has an enchanting, moving and profound score by Stephen Sondheim, and a powerful, witty book by James Lapine is a magical, imaginative adventure with a moral and political point of view.... The show's creators lead the audience on a journey to the darker side of fairy tales as they explore the pain of growing up, communal responsibility, and the values we pass on to our children.... As the plot unfolds, a childless baker and his wife, cursed by a wicked witch, go off into the woods in hopes of ridding themselves of her evil influence. There they encounter Cinderella, her Prince, Little Red Ridinghood, the Wolf, Jack and the beanstalk, Rapunzel, and other fairy tale characters who are attempting to realize wishes of their own. Filled with unexpected twists and dazzling insights,... subjects as diverse as the promise of perfect love, the foolhardiness of questing for material goods, and the loving but difficult relationship between parents and children are considered in a landscape shaded with psychological undertones.
