Into the Woods
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Lapine
Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine
Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick
At its heart, Into the Woods is a story about wishes, responsibility, and what happens after "happily ever after." Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's celebrated musical brings together some of literature's most familiar fairy tale characters before leading them into unexpected and deeply human territory. Ovation Productions' 2024 production embraced both the spectacle and intimacy of the work, creating a visually compelling and emotionally honest theatrical experience.
