Into The Woods
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by James Lapine
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's dark and humorous musical twist on the Brothers Grimm stories
As thrilling a production of the show as I ever hope to see
Stephen Sondheim
Ravishing theatrical storytelling... Timothy Sheader's glorious production is spellbinding...There's more enchantment here than in a whole bag of magic beans
The Times
An inventive, witty production studded with fine performances... Jenna Russell is superb
Financial Times
Soutra Gilmour's design... brilliantly exploits the sinister beauty of the outdoor setting... Dazzling
The Guardian
It's spellbinding stuff, not only musically, but lyrically, visually and emotionally
Mail on Sunday
Into the Woods takes the stories of the Brothers Grimm and gives them a dark and humorous twist.
The popular tales of Red Ridinghood, Jack (of Beanstalk fame), Cinderella and Rapunzel are interwoven with that of the Baker and his Wife and their quest to have a child. However this re-telling goes beyond 'happily ever after' as the familiar characters find themselves in unfamiliar circumstances and hopes and dreams are questioned and revisited.
Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine. Presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited on behalf of Music Theatre International of New York.
Captured at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in October 2010.
