Overview

​Into the Woods
In Collaboration with the Osher School of Music
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Book by James Lapine

Directed by Elizabeth Carlson

Musical Direction by Ed Reichert

Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI)

Sponsored by Norway Savings Bank


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 Narrator introduces the cast of characters, each with a wish: the Baker and Baker’s wife long for a child but cannot conceive, Jack desperately wishes his cow Milky White would once again provide milk so he wouldn’t have to sell her, and Cinderella dreams of attending the king’s ball and someday being free of her cruel stepmother and step-sisters. When all their tales, and the tales of other fairy tale characters, lead to the woods and become intertwined, dreams come true and wishes are granted. Their happiness has consequences, though, and the characters are forced to band together to save their world from destruction.
