Into The — Woods Script Jr

has once again proven that big magic can come in small packages with their delightful production of Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods JR . While Sondheim’s famously complex music and witty, layered lyrics might seem like a tall order for a cast of young performers, this junior adaptation proves to be a perfect fit, and the cast rose to the occasion with impressive skill and palpable joy.

For the uninitiated, Into the Woods JR follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk), and a Baker and his Wife, all of whom wish to break a curse set by a Witch. The first act (“I wish…”) is a romp of familiar stories colliding, while the second act (“I wish…”—but with consequences) tackles deeper themes of responsibility, loss, and community. into the woods script jr
