Into The Woods

‘The difference between a cow and a bean is a bean can begin an adventure.’

LGYT bring Into the Woods, their ninth full-scale musical, to the beautiful City Varieties Music Hall, following hot on the heels of their acclaimed, sold out production of Little Shop of Horrors.

The Baker and his Wife have been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door. They embark on a quest to break the spell; lying, swindling and cajoling their way through the woods as a small army of fairy tale characters with their OWN wishes lead them a merry dance. Just as the curse looks like being lifted a giantess steps down from the sky, straight onto some of our beloved characters and the survivors realise they must pull together in order to succeed.

Into the Woods is a thoroughly modern twist on many of our most beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales and one of Stephen Sondheim’s most celebrated works. A lively, fractured fantasy and a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.

With a cast of 40, a live orchestra, and a flock of birds… ‘be ready for the journey’.
