Fiasco Theater’s Into the Woods
Opening Night: May 3, 2013
Closing: June 9, 2013
Theater: McCarter Theater Center
Revisit this beloved musical in an inventive new production like you’ve never seen before. The forests are not always what they seem in Sondheim’s spellbinding, romantic, and brilliant Into the Woods. Weaving everyone’s favorite fairy tales together, this delightful and witty musical asks: what happens after happily ever after? Fresh from their six-actor Cymbeline (a runaway hit), the acclaimed Fiasco Theater teams up with McCarter to conjure this enchanting tale into being with whimsy, theatrical invention, and only ten actors and a single piano. With dazzling lyrics, sumptuous melodies, and a deliciously wicked plot, this astonishingly clever Into the Woods will leave your whole family smiling.
