INTO THE WOODS


music & lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM
book by JAMES LAPINE
directed by RICK SHIOMI

July 20 - August 5, 2012

 

Theater Mu dives further into its Asian American musical theater initiative with this Tony Award winner that turns classic fairytales on their heads. A baker and his wife seek to break a witch’s evil curse, sending them on a raucous journey through the woods where they cross paths with Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, and Jack and his beanstalk. But in this story, happily ever after is not always what it seems.

In a Mu-inspired twist on this modern classic musical, the casting, costumes, and staging are re-imagined from an Asian American perspective, giving even the show’s most seasoned fans something new to enjoy. Get your tickets today for Mu’s biggest production ever!
