Ever wondered how Cinderella would get along with Little Red Riding Hood? Prepare to witness numerous fairy tale worlds collide in the Stephen Sondheim classic, Into the Woods! Cinderella meets her prince, Jack climbs the beanstalk, and they all live happily ever after! Just kidding. Disney lied. The truth is that fairy tales are most definitely real, but they don’t always end in happily ever afters. Some of them don’t end at all. Prepare to witness fairy tales in all their ‘glory,’ where villains might be good, fiction might be real, and, scariest of all, where wishes really do come true.
