Into the Woods at The Phoenix Theatre Company

With Sondheim’s wit and Lapine’s pen, we journey into the woods and back again… Once upon a time, deep in an enchanted forest, a web of familiar fairy tales began to weave in unexpected ways. Cinderella’s quest for love, Jack’s daring climbs up the beanstalk, Little Red’s encounter with the mischievous Wolf, and a Baker and his Wife’s yearning for a child — these beloved stories converged under the watchful eyes of the woods — and the Witch! But wishes, no matter how pure, often come at a cost. As the characters pursued their dreams, they soon discovered that every expected ever-after carried a twist, a ripple of consequences that challenged the very nature of their storybook endings. In this critically acclaimed musical masterpiece, venture forth on an odyssey that goes beyond the simple, “and they lived happily ever after.” Here, in the fictional yet insightful world of Into the Woods, you’ll see how a single choice can unravel the delicate threads of life itself.
