'Into the Woods' Happily ever after was never so hapless as in Into the Woods, Stephen Sondheim’s comedic reimagining of classic fairy tales. Presented by Lyric Theatre, the musical centers on such storybook characters as Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, and Jack and his beanstalk, alongside various witches, princes and giants. Wishes are granted and unexpected consequences take hold as a lowly baker and his wife try to break a curse and accidentally throw the realm into chaos. The play features the Sondheim hits “Agony,” “Children Will Listen” and “No One Is Alone.”
