Why see Into The Woods?
I wish...
All of popular culture's most beloved fairytale characters are brought together in this dark twisted fantasy from James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim. Debuting on Broadway in 1987, this Tony Award-winning ensemble piece stitches together figures from Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk as they explore their hopes and wishes in the confines of the mysterious forest.
A darkly witty show, Into the Woods delves into the magical world created by the Grimm brothers. Following a simple baker and his wife, who have been cursed by the Wicked Witch, beloved fairytale characters appear, illustrating the consequences of a wish and how they can start by being everything you ever dreamed of, yet evolve into the reason for your despair.
The moral of this story? Sadly we all must come to terms with growing up, and happily ever after was only ever just a story.

Great actors and incredible music!
We loved the show! The acting and singing were phenomenal, the music was beyond awesome. It was long but entertaining the whole time. We also ate at a great place beforehand called the Farmers Market which had very good food including gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. The veggie melt was unique and good, and my husband loved his grass fed burger. We went for a Sunday matinee which required masks, i suppose to make it an all-inclusive event which we were totally ok with. We found a parking spot half a block away from the theater since it was Sunday, total bonus! The drink selection during the intermission was extremely limited so had to drink something i dont like but I was just grateful to have something with caffeine before the 2nd half. No dress code but we still dressed up! We love the Guthrie! ... Read more

- a MUST SEE!
What an outstanding production! Superb acting, beautiful singing, a flawless orchestra seamlessly & sensitively supporting the actors on stage, a beautiful theatre with great seats & acoustics + EASY parking. I mainly attended to see a relative in the ensemble but what I saw was as high or higher a caliber of Musical Theatre than I’d seen anywhere! Bravo to all the cast, directors, conductors & designers who tirelessly worked to make it happen! J.H.
