Venture into the woods with Cinderella, Jack, Rapunzel and Red Riding Hood as the Whitworth University Theatre Department brings the beloved musical Into the Woods to life. This stage rendition draws from the Broadway musical directed by James Lapine, which is based on a book with the same title. It won’t feature Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp, but it still re-tells classic fairy tales through the eyes of a childless baker and his wife who are cursed by a witch. Directed by local director, choreographer and artist Joseph Lyons-Wolf and performed by a cast of dedicated and talented Whitworth students, this classic musical is equal parts thrilling, funny and heartwarming.
