One of the greatest works by musical theatre Stephen Sondheim, Into The Woods imagines a fairy-tale world where our favourite characters collide; Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red Ridinghood, Jack (and his beanstalk) all share an adventure that is both hilarious and heart-rending. Along the way, they learn that maybe it’s better if our wishes don’t always come true.
