"The conception is brilliant..." - Frank Rich, New York Times
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. This thrilling new production will be an Into the Woods like you have never seen. With blazing theatricality and imagination, a remarkable ensemble of storytellers will take you on a journey through an Into the Woods like you have never seen! Startlingly of the moment, you won’t soon forget OOTB’s thrillingly unique, immersive production.
