From the Director

"Into the Woods is a musical unlike any other. With a book by James Lapine that veers cunningly between tragedy and comedy, and one of Stephen Sondheim's most sophisticated and playful scores, it re-imagines well-known fairy tales and imbues them with new possibilities.

It's a challenging show-- Sondheim's lyrics alone are dazzling in their own right-- and one that really excites me to be directing-- especially with this amazing cast of artists.

The show can appeal to a young theatergoer as well as a veteran. Mature audiences will appreciate its deeper soundings and rich, human colors.

Enchantment is not without its dangers, the show seems to be saying; but at the same time, with our capacity to love, we become infinite, whole, meaningful, and truly human."
- Mark Lamos, Westport Country Playhouse Artistic Director/Director of Into the Woods
