State Opera South Australia: Into the Woods
29 August @ 1:00 pm - 3:40 pm ACST

What happens after “happily ever after”?
Step into the spellbinding world of Into the Woods, the Tony Award-winning musical with an unforgettable score and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and masterful storytelling in the book by James Lapine. This witty, whimsical, and deeply moving show intertwines beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales — including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel — with an original story of a baker and his wife on a quest to break a witch’s curse and start a family.
As wishes are made and paths are followed, the characters discover that every choice has consequences, and that the journey is often more revealing than the destination. Into the Woods is a magical theatrical experience that explores love, loss, and the power of families.
