This event is over.

Once upon a time, a Baker and his Wife wished to have a child, Cinderella wished to attend the King's Festival, and Jack (of Beanstalk fame) wished his cow would give some milk. When everyone's wishes are granted, the consequences of their self-centered actions come to haunt them.

Eventually, they learn a poignant life lesson about working together, the stories we tell our children, and the real meaning of “happily ever after.â€

Into the Woods is the award-winning musical featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and based on the book by James Lapine.
