The 2002 Broadway Revival of Into the Woods performs at the TONY-Awards

When a Baker and his Wife learn they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to collect the objects needed to lift the spell. Along the way, they cross paths with others who have unfulfilled wishes of their own, including Cinderella, who wants to attend the ball, and Jack (of beanstalk fame) who wishes his cow would produce milk. Soon, Little Red Ridinghood, the Big Bad Wolf, Rapunzel, two Princes, among others, are caught up in the couple's quest. Everyone gets their wishes soon enough and will seemingly live happily ever after... but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

James Lapine (librettist for Sunday in the Park With George and Passion) and Stephen Sondheim (composer of Sweeney Todd, Merrily We Roll Along, A Funny Thing...Forum, and the lyricist for West Side Story and Gypsy) have magically created an original, spellbinding epic fairy-tale about wishes, family, and the choices we make.
