Directed by Jordan Fein following his Olivier Award-winning productions of Fiddler on the Roof and Oklahoma!, this production is the first major London revival of the Sondheim classic in nearly a decade.

Into the Woods weaves together fairy tale characters such as Cinderella, Jack, and Little Red Riding Hood as they navigate the consequences of their deepest wishes, all set against one of Sondheim’s most dazzling scores.
