  Coming in the Spring!
<br/><br/>
   INTO THE WOODS is Steven Sondheim and James Lapine's enchanting 
   musical fable which takes traditional fairy tales, interweaving the 
   stories and bringing them hilariously to their familiar conclusions 
   and then showing what lies beyond "happy ever after."  Adapted from 
   classic Grimm fairy tales, the "bewitching" story follows a childless 
   baker and his wife into the woods on a quest to lift a spell on their 
   house where they meet Little Red Riding Hood, Jack, Cinderella, Rapunzel, 
   a witch, a pair of princes and others.  Compelling and funny, poignant 
   and wise, INTO THE WOODS is delightful and intelligent Musical Theater.  
   "Be careful what you wish!"
