Into the Woods

Into the Woods

The Brothers Grimm hit the stage with an epic fairytale about wishes, family and the choices we make.

James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece... and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching.

The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

One of Sondheim's most popular works, Into the Woods is a musically sophisticated show with the opportunity to feature actors adept at dark comedy. Designers will especially enjoy highlighting the fantastical elements of this magical word.

Please enjoy a special and nostalgic look into this classic musical, featuring invaluable insights from legendary creators Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine.

Tempo Changes of Individual Markers

Is it possible to adjust the tempo of a marker without effecting the tempo of the entire song?

For example, I would like to increase the tempo of m. 17-32 from 100 to 116, but maintain the original tempo starting at m. 33.

Thank you
