Into The Woods
Overview of the production
The Olivier award-winning Best Musical Revival, fresh from a critically acclaimed run at the Bridge Theatre, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s “stunning” (The Times) Into The Woods transfers to the West End this September.
Directed by Jordan Fein (Fiddler on the Roof), with set and costume designed by Tom Scutt (Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club), this joyful, witty and beautiful new production has been hailed as “a triumphant musical mashup of fairytales” (The Standard). Kate Fleetwood also returns to the production to reprise her celebrated
performance as the Witch.
We all know how the story begins. But what happens after it ends?
Once upon a time…
The Baker and his wife. A Witch with a curse. A boy and his cow. A girl in a red
cloak. A maiden with long flowing hair. A servant covered in cinders. All journey deep
into the dark woods.
To sell the cow
To visit the mother
To see the king
To lift the spell
As the adventure unfolds and paths entwine, wishes are made, slippers are lost, beanstalks take flight and new friendships are forged – revealing that life beyond ‘Happily ever after’ can still be full of magic, even when there’s darkness.
Step into the woods this September. But watch out for the wolf.
Opening at the Noël Coward Theatre for a strictly limited run from 22 September.
Into The Woods is presented by London Theatre Company in association with Jamie Wilson Productions.
