About Into The Woods

Into The Woods is Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s musical, transferring to the West End after a critically acclaimed run at The Bridge Theatre. The production is directed by Jordan Fein, with set and costume design by Tom Scutt.

The story follows 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 and a servant covered in cinders as they journey into the woods. As their paths entwine, wishes are made, slippers are lost, beanstalks take flight and new friendships are forged.

This production explores what happens after the story ends, looking beyond “happily ever after” as the characters move through moments of magic and darkness.

Good to know: Audio described performances are at 7.30 pm on Friday 9 October 2026, and captioned performances are at 7.30 pm on Monday 9 November 2026.
