INTO THE WOODS

Lyric Theatre Company presents the Tony award winning timeless tale of Into the Woods as part of their 49th season. This sophisticated musical features everyone’s favorite storybook characters, intertwining their quests as they explore the consequences of having their wishes granted.

The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results as the lines between good and evil become blurred.

Lyric Theatre Company is honored to bring this work to our audiences on the Flynn Main Stage at a time when it is so important to celebrate the life and genius of Stephen Sondheim.
