Spencer Theatre

September 12-October 11, 2009

 

Directed by Moisés Kaufman
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Lapine

This brilliant musical by the great contemporary composer Stephen Sondheim will be interpreted by one of the American theatre’s most acclaimed and aesthetically daring directors, Tony nominee Moisés Kaufman. Into the Woods re-tells the fairy tale stories of the Brothers Grimm – a princess who must run at midnight and loses her shoe, the childless couple that must lift a curse by an evil witch, a boy and his beanstalk, and that little girl in the red cloak on her way to grandmother’s house – in a musical that explores both the whimsy of wishing and the darker side of the forest. As thrillingly re-imagined by the incomparable Moisés Kaufman, this is a journey Into the Woods unlike any you’ve seen before!
