Stephen Sondheim's musical theatre masterpiece Into the Woods will soon dazzle audiences at Prima Theatre. In this beloved, Tony Award-winning musical, a cast of familiar fairy tale characters pursue their dreams and desires, only to discover that sometimes, getting everything you want may not be a happy ending after all.

"Audiences are really going to be in these woods, with these characters, and feel like they are on the journey with them," says Galia Backal, Resident Director of the Broadway smash hit SIX, who will be directing Prima's production of Into the Woods. As a director, Backal prioritizes diversity and intersectionality, and loves crafting productions that are immersive and experiential. With her leadership, Prima's production of Into the Woods promises to welcome audiences into the mesmerizing beauty of a fairy tale world, while also raising profound questions about the dreams, desires, and destinies that compel us in our own lives.
