About Into the Woods

Into the Woods transfers to the West End this September after a critically acclaimed run at The Bridge Theatre. Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s musical 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 deep into the woods. Wishes are made, slippers are lost and beanstalks take flight as the characters’ paths entwine.

The production has been described by The Times as “stunning” and by The Standard as “a triumphant musical mash-up of fairytales”.

Key facts: Audio described performances are at 7.30 pm on Friday 9 October 2026. Captioned performances are at 7.30 pm on Monday 9 November 2026.
