ABOUT

For our Summer 2022 slot, Stage 212 brings to you Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Tony Award-winning musical, Into the Woods. This musical, inspired by the Brothers Grimm, is one of Sondheim’s most popular works and brings together multiple fairy tale characters into one show.

​

The story follows a Baker and his wife who have been cursed by a witch and thus are unable to have children. To reverse the witch's spell, they must venture into the woods to procure magical items from classic fairy tales.
