Into the Woods
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.

Arrangement for piano/keys, guitar, bass, drums/percussion only?
I am in a small, rural area that doesn't have access to many musicians. We have pianists, guitarists, bassists, and dummers/percussion. Is there any way to get music for these insturments? Chords for guitarists would be especially welcome!

Into the Woods - performance tracks without piano?
My company is interested in purchasing performance tracks for an upcoming production of Into the Woods, but we would very much like the flexibility for me as the MD to play live piano along with the track as well as run the tracks from Qlab. This way I can still conduct the show from the piano for the cast, but also fire cues in Qlab as we go, and provide an element of 'live' music along with the tracks, perhaps even dropping out the tracks and just doing solo piano at moments. Is there a possibility of purchasing the performance tracks without the piano part included in them?

There there a concert version of Into the Woods available?
Is it possible to get the rights for a "concert version" of this show - that is; minimal staging, singers at music stands, less dialogue, etc - and if so would it be cheaper than the full production rights?

What was the first college production of Into the Woods?
Hi! I produced Into the Woods in April 1991 for Ram's Head Theatrical Society at Stanford University. We worked with MTI to secure the rights beginning in summer of 1990. We had to wait to finalize them because the bus-and-truck production was still touring, and we had to make sure they wouldn't be in our area. For years, we've been wondering if we were the first college production of Into the Woods? Can we claim that or did another school beat us to the punch? Would your records be able to tell us? Thanks for any help you can give!
