Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (Beverly Hills, CA)
What happens after “happily ever after?” Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods answers that question, skillfully interweaving several classic fairy tales into one epic story that goes beyond the happy endings to show what happens when a fairy tale world gets real. The movie version of this acclaimed musical comes out at Christmastime, and the perfect way to get prepared is to see the story in its original form. This modern twist on the Brothers Grimm brings together Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (of beanstalk fame), a Baker, his Wife and of course, the Witch. The beloved storybook characters take on startling complexity as they discover that wishes come with a price. Witches, wolves, giants and mysterious strangers force the heroes to face the music and their future in a world where everything doesn’t always end happily. Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s critically-acclaimed new production is a humorous and heartfelt chase through the woods, featuring such unforgettable songs as “No One Is Alone,” “Children Will Listen” and “Giants in the Sky.”
