INTO THE WOODS

Presented by Ashwaubenon High School Performing Arts

Into the Woods is one of Stephen Sondheim’s most popular musicals, as he and writer James Lapine brilliantly take everyone’s favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece that has become a rare modern classic. This Tony Award-winning production humorously follows 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 old cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on an enchanting journey in the woods to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the comedy gets a little darker as the consequences of all their actions eventually return to haunt them in this spectacular Broadway musical production – Into the Woods!
