Dare to venture into the woods with this unexpected twist on the beloved fairy tales you thought you knew. Through achingly beautiful melodies and clever wordplay, this Tony Award-winning musical from Stephen Sondheim intertwines classic characters in surprising stories as they pursue their deepest desires. Shortly after their wishes are granted, the consequences of their actions return to haunt them, and our fairytale heroes must work together to save their world from destruction.
