Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Director: John Cochrane, Jr. Music Director and Orchestra Conductor: Raquel Garcia Choreographer: Mary Beth Betzler Escape into a fantastical fairytale adventure where wishes come true, but not free. A trove of storybook characters’ paths intertwine as they chase their deepest desires through an enchanted forest. However, once they receive their happily ever after, the unintended consequences of granted wishes unravel their worlds. Weaving a euphoric score including the songs “Giants in the Sky,” “On the Steps of the Palace,” “No One Is Alone,” and “Children Will Listen” with a darkly humorous book, Into the Woods is a sophisticated musical twist on beloved childhood fables. “Into the Woods features some of Sondheim’s wittiest lyrics as well as achingly beautiful melodies” Show Details: This performance is suitable for all ages. It is worth noting the fairytale characters and stories that are familiar to many through Disney productions are not represented in this version, as the musical focuses on the original Brothers Grimm stories which tend to be “darker” and less “happy ending” focused. The show runs 2 hours and 45 minutes with a 15-minute intermission.
