Why see Into The Woods?

Once Upon A Time

All of popular culture's most beloved fairytale characters are brought together in this dark and twisted fantasy from James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim, in this new production from Opera Queensland and Queensland Theatre Company. 

Debuting on Broadway in 1987, this ensemble piece takes figures from Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and more, exploring their hopes and dreams as they journey through the enchanted forest where a happy ending seems very far away.

What Is The Story?

They say you should be careful what you wish for... The saying certainly applies to this magical tale! A childless baker and his wife long to have a little one of their own, but when informed by a local witch that it's because she's placed a curse on them, the intrepid couple set out on a quest to change their fate forever.
