Description
The playbill for Taylor University's performance of Into the Woods. Book by James Lapine. Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
Performed November 9-11 & 16-18, 2018 at the Mitchell Theatre.
Into the Woods is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Lapine. It intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales, exploring the consequences of the characters' wishes and quests. 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. Their journeys intersect in the woods, where they encounter other fairy tale characters like Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and the Witch. The musical delves into themes of responsibility, the complexity of human desires, and the moral implications of actions.
