Into the Woods

Oct. 14-29, 2023

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Book by James Lapine

Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine

Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick

Directed by Patrick Fitzwater

Into the Woods intertwines beloved fairy tales—including Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel—into a richly layered story about wishes, consequences, and community.

At the center is a Baker and his Wife, who embark on a quest to break a witch’s curse that has left them childless. As their paths cross with familiar characters, each pursues a wish of their own, leading to unexpected consequences once those wishes are granted. With wit, heart, and a hauntingly beautiful score, Into the Woods explores what it truly means to live “happily ever after.”

“In a season of standouts, Into the Woods is certainly a high point for Slow Burn… the action as tight and fluid as an assembly line.”

– John Thomason, Boca Raton Magazine

“Slow Burn not only met my expectations, but it exceeded them with their newest production!”

– Gio Spano, Hotspots Magazine
