Reinventing A Modern Classic

NYT Critics' Pick 

“These are the woods that you want to get lost in, a place you'll find buried treasures that you didn't even know existed. Fiasco Theater's truly enchanting production of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Into The Woods makes the best case ever for a musical that interpreters have been trying to get right since the show was first staged in the mid-1980s.” -- Ben Brantley, The New York Times 

Grade A 

“Imaginative staging and incredible performances! The giddy joy of the first act gives way to some thrilling emotion in the second. If you’re wishing for inventive, joyous theater, run to Into the Woods!” -- Nicole Sperling, Entertainment Weekly 

Venture back Into The Woods with the acclaimed Fiasco Theater production that the Associated Press called ingenious and bewitching. Unanimously praised and extended twice at Roundabout’s Laura Pels Theater, the Tony Award®-winning musical classic by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine has been mounted with boundless imagination. This witty and wildly theatrical re-invention, produced by the Dodgers (Jersey Boys, Matilda) and NETworks Presentations (The Phantom of the Opera, War Horse, South Pacific), is Into The Woods as you’ve never seen it before! 

Including dazzling songs like “Children Will Listen” and “No One Is Alone,” this thrillingly clever new version made Ben Brantley of The New York Times fall head over heels. Mind the wolf, heed the witch, and honor the giant in the sky at this extraordinary musical about the power of wishes and what really happens after they come true. 

“So much heart and richness of imagination.” -- Peter Marks, The Washington Post
