Into the Woods

Into the Woods Musical

March 5, 6, 7 at 7.30pm | Newman Center 
March 8 at 2pm | Newman Center 

Into the Woods takes us beyond "happily ever after" to ask: What do you do when you get what you wished for? In Stephen Sondheim's beloved musical, familiar fairy tale characters cross paths as their dreams come true-only to discover that life after the wish is far more complicated. Into the Woods explores the consequences of desire, the cost of choice, and the unexpected strength we find in each other when the story takes a darker turn.


Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Lapine
Directed by Kelly Van Oosbree
