MORE INFO:“INTO THE WOODS” BY STEPHEN SONDHEIM INFO-

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.

STEPHEN SONDHEIM INFO/BIO-

Stephen Sondheim is arguably the leading musical theatre composer and lyricist of his era. Over the past fifty years and more his musicals have been classed as masterpieces and he has created some of the most notable scores and songs in musical theatre history.

In 1962 the first musical to feature both music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim opened. His A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum ran for 964 performances. The show won serveral Tonies including Best Musical. His next show though, Anyone Can Whistle, was his first 'flop' running for only 9 performances, although it did introduce a young lady to the Broadway audience for the first time, Angela Lansbury. Sondheim again went back to writing lyrics only for the production Do I Hear A Waltz? as it was collaborating with composer Richard Rogers who had been Stephen's mentor Oscar Hammerstein's collaborator until Hammerstein's death in 1960. After Do I Hear a Waltz Sondheim collaborated with producer and director Harold Prince on 6 musicals between 1970 and 1981, Company (1970), Follies (1971), A Little Night Music (1973), Pacific Overtures (1975), Sweeney Todd (1979) and Merrily We Roll Along (1981). Sondheim was now established as the great musical theatre creator, composing the music and lyrics for all these productions. In 1984 Sondheim began a new collaboration this time with James Lapine. Over the next ten years Sondheim would create Sunday in the Park With George (1984), Into The Woods (1987) and Passion in 1994. 1990 saw one of Sondheim's most successful years with the opening of Assassins and also the winning of the Oscar for Best Song with one of the five songs he created for the movie Dick Tracy, 'Sooner or Later (I Always get my man)'. In later years Stephen has created Bounce (2003) with book by John Weidman who had collaborated with him on Assassins, which was renamed Road Show for its 2008 production. Over the past fifty years Stephen Sondheim has established himself as the foremost theatre composer/lyricist, his music and ideas always challenging and has developed the art-form to a completely different level. He has also established many aspects to his legacy including 'Young Playwrights', which he founded in 1981, 'Mercury Workshop' in 1992 which developed into the Mercury Musical Developments, a British organisation for new musical theatre writers, and in September 2010 the Henry Miller's Theatre at West 43rd Street in New York was renamed 'The Stephen Sondheim Theatre'.
