Into the Woods

A dark musical comedy intertwining familiar fairytale characters, each with a wish

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Lapine

This adventure follows Little Red as she embarks on a journey to visit her grandmother, a baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to attend the King’s Festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give milk. As each sets off in pursuit of their deepest desires, their paths intertwine and the woods become a place of both wonder and danger as The Witch, giants, and curses meet them along the way.

Into the Woods is a Tony-award winning musical known for its clever storytelling and exquisite music with brilliant lyrics. It’s funny, dark, challenging, romantic, and full of possibilities – a cautionary tale that asks if happily ever after exists and reminds us to be careful what you wish for.

Content Advisory: GREAT does not rate subject matter as sensitivities vary from person to person. It is worth noting the fairytale characters and stories that are familiar to many through Disney productions are not represented in this version, as the musical focuses on the original Brothers Grimm stories which tend to be “darker” and less “happy ending” focused. If you have other questions about the content or age appropriateness, please contact us at 320-258-2787.
