Into the Woods - Royal Exchange (05/12/2015 - 16/01/2016)
"Into the woods, It's time to go. I hate to leave, I have to, though..."
On the outskirts of the city lies a fantastical forest where curses are reversed and wishes can come true. In the shadows of the trees something magical, fanciful and strange is happening, but wishes are dangerous beasts to manage.
Our story begins in a clearing not far from you... a Baker and his wife dream of a child, a flash of red captivates a tall, furry stranger and a girl with golden slippers is on the run. Each has a journey to make, a different path to take but are they certain it's the right direction?
In this fairy-tale adventure it's too late to turn back... so why not explore what brings you Into The Woods this Christmas!
An enchanting musical masterpiece, filled to the brim with a feast of fabled characters. Associate Artistic Director Matthew Xia makes his Royal Exchange Theatre debut with a contemporary vision of Sondheim's multiple Tony Award-winning show.
"This truly sublime musical explores the relationship between parents and children; desire; greed and how a community reacts to catastrophe. I'm interested in our contemporary connection to this enchanted woodland. I've assembled a world-class team and we're inviting you into a magical forest, right here – in the middle of Manchester." Matthew Xia
Originally directed on Broadway by James Lapine. Presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited on behalf of Music Theatre International of New York.
