ABOUT THE SHOW:
James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone’s favorite storybook characters and bring them together in a timeless, yet relevant, Tony Award-winning musical. Equally funny and enchanting, this touching fairy tale, with a twist, 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. As their individual adventures begin to overlap and their wishes are granted, the characters learn to be careful what they wish for and what really happens after happily ever after.
Off Centre Stage’s production of Into the Woods will be set in the modern day in a classroom during a high school reunion. The story will be told using found objects and creative collaboration amongst the cast. In lieu of a full orchestra, the production will feature a pianist and some additional instrumentation provided by cast members live on stage.
