All of your favorite fairy tales come to life when the Tony Award winning musical Into the Woods continues for one final weekend at Titusville, NJ's Washington Crossing Open Air Theatre. Into the Woods brings together the classic tale of witches, wolves and magic beans in a mystical adventure you will not want to miss. The production continues on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 7:30 through Sunday, September 29.

Into the Woods opened on Broadway in 1987 and won over audiences, claiming three Tonys and four Drama Desk Awards, including Most Outstanding Musical.Into the Woods has music and lyrics by the legendary composer Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine.

Based on the well-known fairy tales of The Brothers Grimm, Into the Woods leads the audience on a fantastical journey. When a Baker and his wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, meeting up with a cast of well known characters including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack (of beanstalk fame). The mysterious, and often dark, nature of the play provides new meaning to the phrase, "Be careful for what you wish." In the end, Into the Woods' hopeful message combines with the unique and beautiful score to create a magical theatrical experience. The Open Air Theatre cast includes actors who have become familiar faces over the past several seasons, including David Whiteman, Louis Palena, Lauren Brader, Jenny Whiteman, Jill Palena and Rachel Mahar.
