Into the Woods first opened on Broadway in 1987. It won Best Score and Best Book at the Tony’s. A film version was released in 2014 starring Anna Kendrick, Meryl Streep, Chris Pine, Emily Blunt, James Corden, and Johnny Depp. In February of 2023, it opened at the Paramount Theatre. It also appeared at The Nederlander Theatre from April 25th to May 7th, 2023. And now, in November of 2024, it opens at the Chopin Theatre. 

Everyone knows the stories of Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel. But what happens after the original stories end? Into the Woods explores just this and discovers that ever after isn’t always happy.

This production is quite intimate. It’s in the small basement. The set consists of two pianos in the center and the audience sits around the walls of the room. 

There are some really great one-liners in this play such as “I was raised to be charming, not sincere” and “My father’s house was a nightmare; your house was a dream. Now I want something in between.” Pay close attention to catch them all.

Cost of a ticket: $60 (Reserved Seating)
