New Into the Woods production photos released

See new production photos of Into the Woods – the first major West End revival of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s fairy tale mashup musical in over 30 years, now playing at the Noël Coward Theatre until 9 January 2027.

Fresh off an Olivier-winning run at the Bridge Theatre, this production of Into The Woods sees John Dagleish, Laura Pitt-Pulford and Kate Fleetwood lead the cast as the Baker, the Baker’s Wife and the Witch, and it is directed by Jordan Fein with design by Tom Scutt.

The story interweaves Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel and Little Red Riding Hood, and takes audiences beyond the ‘happily ever after’ into a considerably darker, more morally complicated second act, exploring parenthood, loss and the consequences of getting what you wish for.

Little Red Riding Hood leaps down forest steps mid-air, wearing a red cape and hood and carrying a wicker basket, in Into the Woods.

An award-winning ensemble reunited

Several members of the acclaimed Bridge Theatre cast have returned for the transfer, including Dagleish, Pitt-Pulford and Fleetwood, alongside Simbi Akande as Cinderella, Gracie McGonigal as Little Red Riding Hood and Keith Ramsay as Jack.

Director Fein’s musical has been praised for its inventive use of lighting and video design over elaborate scenery, and won the Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival in 2026, while writer James Lapine has called it the best production of the show he’s ever seen, including one he directed himself.

Dark, witty – and not for younger children

Into The Woods is 2 hours 40 minutes in length and the show’s darker second half has with content warnings for grief, death and violence, alongside haze, strobe effects and periods of complete darkness in the auditorium. The musical is recommended for ages 12 and up.
