Madrid Theatre (Canoga Park, CA)
Now a blockbuster movie starring Meryl Streep, Into the Woods began as a live musical that took Broadway by storm. Stephen Sondheim’s Tony-winning musical skillfully interweaves and reimagines 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. This fresh twist on the Brothers Grimm brings together an ambivalent Cinderella, a temperamental Little Red Riding Hood, a rebellious Rapunzel, a naïve Jack (of beanstalk fame), a Baker, his Wife and, of course, the Witch. But this time around, the beloved storybook characters take on startling complexity as they discover that wishes come with a price. Sondheim’s score features such unforgettable songs as “No One Is Alone,” “Children Will Listen” and “Ever After.” Find out what happens after “happily ever after” as Center Stage Opera presents Into the Woods at the Madrid Theatre in Canoga Park.
