Into the Woods
music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by James Lapine, licensed by Music Theatre International
Director: Jerry Lee
The first summer musical produced by Santa Cruz Shakespeare and Shakespeare Santa Cruz in 32 years and a brilliant pairing with A Midsummer Night's Dream, Sondheim’s masterpiece sees another disparate group journeying into the forest, pursuing a wide range of desires, from a simple visit to grandmother’s house, a decent price for a cow or the magical ingredients to cure a curse of childlessness. Into the Woods honors the various fairy tales it is drawn from and turns them on their head. It subverts expectations, surprising at every music-filled turn with pathos and humor. SCS’s season theme is drawn directly from the gorgeous Act II song of the same name, “No One is Alone.” Into the Woods is Sondheim’s incredible meditation on just that – messy, painful or beautiful, as it may be.
