Into the Woods interweaves four famous fairytales (Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel) set forth by a pair of bakers who must acquire special items to break a witch’s curse. Unlike the original stories, the ending is not the “happily ever after” you’d expect. A well-known and loved musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by James Lapine. Directed by Tommy Iafrate and music-directed by Melissa Yanchak.
*SPECIAL EVENT: Audiences are invited to a Fairy Tale and Folklore Discussion Panel with faculty members from the English and Comparative Literature departments, facilitated by Associate Professor Tommy Iafrate. 6:30 p.m. in Casadesus Recital Hall in the Fine Arts Building.
