James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching. The production will look at the story told through a new perspective. The production is helmed by audience-acclaimed director, Juztine Tuazon, winner of the BroadwayWorld San Diego region awards in 2019 for their productions of Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead and American Idiot. Tuazon will take the audience on a whimsically enticing visual adventure that follows the path of unlikely characters on a journey deep into the darkness (and light) found only in the woods. Tuazon presents a fresh and more diverse perspective on this now classic tale, by challenging gender and sexuality norms, and finding parallels in the story with struggles same-sex couples experience while trying to have children of their own. 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 some milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a 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.Anything can happen in the woods.
