About Into The Woods

Into The Woods is a West End production of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s musical, following a critically acclaimed run at The Bridge Theatre. Directed by Jordan Fein, with set and costume design by Tom Scutt, it brings together fairytale characters whose stories intersect as they journey into the woods.

The show 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 wishes are made and paths entwine, the story moves beyond “happily ever after” into the consequences of what comes next.

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