Into the Woods Comes to The Glenn Massay Theater in Palmer
Contributed by Garry Forrester
The Broadway sensation, Into the Woods, is coming to the Valley! James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece...and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning musical is both enchanting and touching. 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. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. Along the way, many other well-known make-believe folks show up like Little Red Riding Hood, The Wolf, and Rapunzel…just to name a few. One of Sondheim's most popular works, Into the Woods is a musically sophisticated show with a blend of memorable melodies, readily identifiable characters, and a touch of dark comedy. Join some of your favorite fairy-tale characters on the wonderful and surprising journey Into the Woods!
