‘Into the Woods’ at NHTP

James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone’s favorite storybook characters and bring them together for an epic fairytale about wishes, family and the choices we make. The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

Into the Woods runs March 10-19 at New Hampshire Theatre Project (959 Islington St #3, Portsmouth, NH 03801). Showtimes are Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 2pm.
