The Friends of the Arts\u2019 most spectacular play of the season is coming up. The James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim Broadway musical Into the Woods\u00a0will be performed on May 9, 10 and 11.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
This is a postponement of the earlier announced April schedule.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
The award-winning Broadway musical will be directed by Harold Easton, assisted by Marilou Conner, with Katie Hoyt as the musical director for this Friends of the Arts production.<\/p>\n
Into the Woods\u00a0debuted in San Diego at the\u00a0Old Globe Theatre\u00a0in 1986 and premiered on\u00a0Broadway\u00a0on Nov. 5, 1987, where it won several\u00a0Tony Awards.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
The musical plot stems from several\u00a0Brothers Grimm\u00a0and\u00a0Charles Perrault\u00a0fairy tales, with characters taken from Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel, and Cinderella.\u00a0 The story follows a childless baker and his wife in their quest to begin a family by finding a red cape, a white cow, corn-yellow hair and a magic slipper to get a wicked witch to remove a curse she has placed on them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
