Into The Woods

A Sondheim classic, ‘Into The Woods’ makes it to the West End stage after a run at Southwark Theatre. Melding fairytale characters from some of the famed tales by The Brothers Grimm, this musical transfer is a must-see.

Once upon a time…The Baker and his wife. A Witch with a curse. A boy and his cow. A girl in a red cloak. A maiden with long flowing hair. A servant covered in cinders. All journey deep into the dark woods. To sell the cow, To visit the mother, To see the king, To lift the spell…As the adventure unfolds and paths entwine, wishes are made, slippers are lost, beanstalks take flight and new friendships are forged - revealing that life beyond ‘Happily ever after’ can still be full of magic, even when there’s darkness. Step into the woods but watch out for the wolf.
