Into the Woods follows a Baker and his wife, who long for a child, as they venture into the mysterious woods to break a curse placed upon them by a vengeful Witch. Along the way, they cross paths with familiar fairytale characters, each with their own wishes, dreams, and dilemmas. This London production reimagines the classic musical with a stellar cast, breathtaking sets, and a full orchestra bringing Sondheim’s iconic score to life, featuring unforgettable numbers like Children Will Listen, No One Is Alone, and Agony.
Storyline
The musical begins with a collection of familiar fairytale characters, each of whom has a wish: Cinderella dreams of attending the royal ball, Jack hopes his cow will give milk, the Baker and his Wife long for a child, and Little Red Riding Hood is on her way to her grandmother’s house. When the Witch reveals that the Baker and his Wife are cursed, they embark on a quest to gather magical items that will break the spell.
As Act I unfolds, the characters seemingly achieve their wishes, but Act II reveals the price they must pay. A giant’s wrath brings chaos, alliances shift, and characters face unexpected losses. In the end, Into the Woods delivers a profound message: “Be careful what you wish for.”
