Into the Woods

Why would you go into the woods?

To sell the cow
To lift the spell
To visit mother
To see the king

Or maybe to find yourself?

In Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s dazzling musical, the Baker, the Baker’s Wife, the Witch, Jack, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella and Rapunzel take us beyond happy ever after to discover what really matters.

This brand-new staging for The Bridge is helmed by director Jordan Fein and designer Tom Scutt. Jordan Fein’s credits include Fiddler on the Roof at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. Tom Scutt’s extensive credits include Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club in the West End and on Broadway where he won the Tony award last year for Best Scenic Design of a Musical.

Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s collaboration – their second, after Sunday in the Park with George – brilliantly weaves together four Grimms’ fairy-tales in a story of a baker and his wife on their quest to reverse a curse of childlessness cast upon them by the wicked witch.
