Why see Into The Woods?
I Wish...
Stephen Sondheim's famed work, Into the Woods, is a twisted and enthralling re-imagining of our favorite fairytale characters that delves into their hopes and dreams (and wishes), uncovering the dark side of happily ever after. Through Sondheim's signature lyrical flights and an extraordinary book by James Lapine, the magical realm we thought we knew comes to life in an unexpectedly moving and unforgettable way. Follow Musical Theatre West as they bring their production of this classic to you this spring!
Through songs such as Children Will Listen, No One Is Alone, It Takes Two and more, the magical realm we thought we knew comes to life in an unexpectedly moving and totally unforgettable way as a baker and his wife, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Jack (of Beanstalk fame) head into a mysterious and enigmatic forest in search of their dreams.

BRILLIANT
A stunning, fresh and innovative version of the
classic Into The Woods musical. The 11 cast
members did the job with no costumes or sets,
just talent beyond excellent telling a
complicated, deep and dark tale through the
complicated and challenging music of Stephen
Sondheim. The entire production was sheer
genius. ... Read more

The cow steals the show!
No lie. The human characters have been perfectly cast, all the way down to third spear-chucker on the left. Their performances of this beautiful piece will rend your heart. But Kennedy Kanagawa brings to life an ear-twitching, eye-blinking, milk-deficient, udderly adorable animal character without which the witch will fail in her quest. Who woulda thunk that this stand-up gal would be so crucial to the heart of the story? Do not miss this production - the seeing of it is a tale you will tell to your children. ... Read more

All is Right Into the Woods
Like "Chicago", this show can lose its sets/scenery and still be a grand entertainment, for doing so brings the focus to the clever fusion of the stories, the performances, and Sondheim’s music, lyrics, and rhymes.
ITW has always been somewhat lost between being a “Fractured Fairy Tales” or “How to Parent” guide for aspiring moms and dads. After all these years, this production gets it right. Color-blind casting allows cultural flourishes and broadens its appeal to new audiences. Every cast member is perfect. Milky White finally gets a star turn and elicits lots of laughs and audience sympathy. The puppetry more than makes up for any lack of sets…certainly right up there with War Horse or Lion King. It’s the director who is to blame for the irresistible and almost illegal amount of fun, laughs, humor, pratfalls, and characterizations that cast members deliver flawlessly. Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and Jack’s mother who’s “There’s no time to sit and dither. While her withers wither with her” diction is nailed on the head. This is the most fun and laughs you may have ever have in a theater. I’ll probably go back for a third dose before July 30. Don’t miss your first. It’s THAT good.
