Experience the magic of Into The Woods at Ahmanson Theatre
One of Broadway's most beloved musicals, "Into The Woods," is making its way to the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles this summer. The show, which won three Tony Awards in 1987, explores the darker themes and endings of classic fairy tales from the Grimm Brothers.
The central story revolves around a baker and his wife who are struggling to conceive. They soon discover that a curse has been placed on their family by a witch, and they must collect crucial ingredients for her potion in order to reverse their barrenness. Along the way, they encounter a host of colorful characters, including Little Red Ridinghood, Cinderella, and Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk.
The musical, Into the Woods, draws on versions of fairytales by the Grimm Brothers - but with a twist. It follows the storyline of a baker and his wife who are unable to conceive due to a curse placed upon them years ago by an angered witch. This original story brings out dark themes and endings like you've never seen before. Breaking from the traditional fairy tale genre, this show promises an exciting and unique experience.
The creative team behind the show includes Tony Award winners for Set Design, Costume Design, and Lighting Design, as well as Co-Sound Designers and a Hair and Makeup Design team. The production is directed by James Lapine and features music supervision by Stephen Sondheim, who also wrote the twisty and witty lyrics that have become the hallmark of the show.
Fans of musical theater and classic fairy tales alike won't want to miss this exciting production of "Into The Woods" at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles this summer. With an all-star cast and a talented creative team, this limited engagement promises to be a magical and unforgettable experience.
