The beloved musical spun from many of the Brothers Grimm's most famous fairy tales. This edition, containing the book and lyrics of the show, plus an exclusive introduction by David Benedict, was published alongside the 2025 London revival.
Desperate for a child, a baker and his wife journey into the woods to reverse a curse and change their luck. As the couple venture into the unknown, their story collides with Cinderella, Jack, Little Red Ridinghood, Rapunzel, witches, princes and giants.
Featuring such classic songs as 'Giants in the Sky', 'Moments in the Woods', 'No One is Alone' and 'Children Will Listen', Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's audacious and beloved musical intertwines the Brothers Grimm's most famous fairy tales and reckons with the realities of 'happy ever after'.
Into the Woods was first staged at the Old Globe Theatre, California, in 1986, and opened on Broadway the following year. That production went on to win three Tony Awards, including Best Book of a Musical.
This edition was published alongside the 2025 revival at the Bridge Theatre, London, directed by Jordan Fein and with set and costume design by Tom Scutt. It features an exclusive introduction by David Benedict, Sondheim's authorised biographer.
