I first heard the original Broadway Cast recording of this show and fell in love with the idea of turning traditional fairy tales upside down and inside out to create an exciting new look at these much loved characters ad stories. I have seen 5 different versions of this musical. The scope is incredable and each production has been totally different. Read on and let you imaginiation run away with it's self........happy reading (and singing)

Into the Woods is the most spectacular play I have ever been in, and the book is just as great! This tale is about all of the common fairy tales, from 'lil Red, to Jack and the Giant, To Cinderella, and tons more characters. This story combines tons of laughter, sad parts, and a book that you just can't put down! So get this fabulous book, or even just read the script to be taken to a magical world, and into the woods!

This play is a very fast and enjoyable read, especially if you are into musicals. I suggest that you read it with the soundtrack, because the music is very powerful.Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine are an amazing team and will leave you wanting more.
