Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by James Lapine
Into the Woods, JR is presented through special arrangement with and all authorized materials are supplied by Music Theatre International, New York, NY.

Be careful what you wish for, as Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s cockeyed fairytale comes to life in this adaptation of their groundbreaking, Tony Award-winning musical.

Set in a fairy-tale kingdom, Into the Woods JR. reimagines the Brothers Grimm tales with their narratives intertwined. The story centers around a Baker and his wife who wish to have a child and to do so must undo a witch's curse. The two set off on a journey to break the curse, and wind up changed forever.  James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's musical is one gigantic fable which visits key themes of wishes, the pursuit of dreams and their consequences. Through a series of adventures and encounters with favorite fairy-tale heroes and villains— Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch —  the characters enter a journey ‘into the woods’, confronting their issues and the fallout from their mistakes.
