Mac-Haydn Theatre Heads to a Far-Off Kingdom with INTO THE WOODS
By: BWW News Desk Jul. 26, 2016
The Mac-Haydn Theatre heads to a world of the timeless Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales colliding with wondrous splendor in Stephen Sondheim's "Into The Woods."
The story 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 cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of The Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. The Tony Award winning book and score are enchanting and touching. The show is one of Sondheim's most popular, filled with lushly intricate music in songs that include "Children Will Listen, Giants In The Sky" and "Agony". Back from 2015, Paul Wyatt (Mark in "Rent") is The Baker and Libby Bruno (Denise in "The Baker's Wife") will be his wife. Julia Mosby (Marian in "Music Man" in 2014) returns to play The Witch. Jamie Grayson, who was a hit as Man In Chair in last summer's "The Drowsy Chaperone", returns to play The Narrator.
