Into the Woods The iconic hit Broadway musical with songs and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine, directed by Rae Robison with musical direction by Elisabeth Harrington. Into the Woods intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales, exploring the consequences of the characters' wishes and quests.
