Please note that Into the Woods is rated PG-13 for its depiction of mild adult themes, making it suitable for audiences aged 13 and above.

Into the Woods intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales, exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. The narrative weaves together the story of a childless baker and his wife, who set off on a journey to break the curse placed on them by a vengeful witch. Along the way, they encounter classic characters such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (of Beanstalk fame), and Rapunzel. Each character has a wish they desperately seek to fulfill, leading them into the woods where their stories intersect unexpectedly and profoundly. The musical examines the complexity of human desires, the relationships between parents and children, and the reality that sometimes wishes come with a price.
