Description
ASU Music Theatre & Opera presents Into the Woods


Into the Woods, the 1988 Tony Award winner for both score and book of a musical, is a brilliantly conceived exploration of what happens after “happily ever after.” With a moving and profound score by Stephen Sondheim, and a powerful, witty book by James Lapine, Into the Woods is a magical, imaginative journey to the darker side of fairy tales as they explore the pain of growing up, communal responsibility, and the values we pass on to our children. 


A childless baker and his wife, cursed by a wicked witch, go off into the woods in hopes of ridding themselves of her evil influence. There they encounter Cinderella, her Prince, Little Red Ridinghood, the Wolf, Jack the Giant Killer, Rapunzel and other fairy tale characters who are attempting to realize wishes of their own. By the end of Act I, everything seems to be blissfully resolved. But a destructive, vengeful force looms in the woods which leads to tragic consequences in the second act, bringing the characters to a painful but hopeful resolution. Filled with unexpected twists and dazzling insights, Into the Woods explores subjects like the promise of perfect love, the foolhardiness of questing for material goods, and the loving but difficult relationship between parents and children. With tenderness and laughter, Sondheim and Lapine bring us through a maze that mirrors the complexity of everyday existence. Like the characters in Into the Woods, we end this journey aware of the moral consequences of our actions and the power of tolerance, community and shared sacrifice. 


Appropriate for audiences age 13 and up.
