INTO THE WOODS

By Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine

Directed by Jim Tropp

Rock River Repertory Theatre Company presents the Tony Award winning musical INTO THE WOODS. This enchanting musical voyage runs April 17-26, 2015 at the Edgerton Performing Arts Center. Into the Woods is what you get when you take all of your favorite fairytale characters and throw them into one place under the genius of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine. Into the Woods combines the well-known fairy tales of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Little Red Ridinghoood with the story of the Baker and his Wife who desperately want a child. Unfortunately, the Baker and his Wife have been cursed with childlessness by a witch and must perform various missions involving the characters in the other fairy tales to break the spell. The Baker and his Wife must bring the witch a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn, and a slipper as pure as gold. After a series of failed attempts, the Baker and his Wife finally are able to perform the tasks necessary to break the spell. Once the characters have accomplished their goals, however, they learn about the pitfalls of greed and gluttony. Finally, they learn about the need for community and family when they must unite to fight against the wife of the giant Jack killed who has decided to come back for revenge.
