Into The Woods

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Lapine.
Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine.
Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick.

'Into the woods. It's time to go. I hate to leave. I have to though...'

Let them take you deep into the woods - where wishes come true and curses are reversed. In the glimmers of the trees you find magic - but be careful what you wish for! Wishes can be dangerous things and lead to heartbreak!

A Baker and his wife dream of a child, a girl in a red cape captivates a tall, furry, stranger, a young lad climbs a beanstalk and a girl with golden slippers runs from a Prince.

Each has a journey to make, a different path to take but are they certain it's the right direction? As you journey with them, share their realisation that life is nothing like a fairy tale and that living 'happily ever after' is not without its trials and tragedies.

One of Stephen Sondheim's greatest musicals, Into the Woods is an enchanting theatrical masterpiece, filled to the brim with a feast of fabled characters.

Directed by Richard Tunley with Musical Direction by Rob Thorne Jnr. this is the perfect show to open the 2016 festival.

With superb music, wonderful characters and set amongst the trees of Sophia Gardens they really will be taking you, into the woods!

It's too late to turn back - the adventure has begun!
