Into the Woods is a seminal work by American musical theatre genius, Stephen Sondheim, and follows the trials and adventures of a

collection of well-known fairy-tale characters, including Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Red Riding Hood. They all go into the deep, dark woods on separate quests, and their paths cross and intersect with sometimes amusing, sometimes alarming results.
