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.”

I didn't know anything about into the woods other than my wife said it was based on fairytales. We had seats on the front row and it was just non-stop action from beginning to end. The cast are so professional and incredible performers. The theatre is probably one of the best I've ever been to. No queueing for drinks really well organised and the toilets were not rammed at the interval. Really enjoyable evening and would highly recommend both the show and the theatre for the future.
