Her Majesty’s Theatre Ballarat: Into the Woods
5 September @ 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm AEST

Once upon a time meets happily ever after.
Fairytales collide in Into the Woods, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s spellbinding masterpiece, reimagined in a stunning concert event featuring a full orchestra live on stage. Starring Gorgi Coghlan, Jess Ryan, Andrew Lorenzo, Duncan Esler and an all-star cast, this special presentation places the music and storytelling at the heart of the experience, illuminating one of musical theatre’s most beloved scores like never before.
When the Baker and his Wife set out to break a Witch’s curse, their journey intertwines with Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack, and Rapunzel, all chasing their happily ever afters. But as their wishes come true, consequences unfold that even fairy tales couldn’t predict.
Winner of multiple Tony Awards, Into the Woods is both timeless and thrillingly relevant. A darkly comic, deeply human exploration of desire, family, and the cost of happily ever after.
