Into the Woods

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Lapine
Directed by Don Hill
Musical Direction by Timothy Fletcher

June 1 - 5, 2022

Claire Trevor Theatre

This Tony Award-winning, modern classic by James Lapine and legendary composer Stephen Sondheim is easily one of the most popular works of the canon, and rightfully so. Through innovative storytelling, musical sophistication and dark comedy, the world's most popular fairy tale characters are brought together to create a thought-provoking piece that challenges both our perception of life and "happily ever after". Into the Woods is especially relevant as we emerge from the isolation we have experienced during pandemic lockdown, serving as an encouraging reminder that "no one is alone".

Learn more about the production on the dramaturgy website. Dramaturgs Minu Park and Stephanie Lim, with help and support from UCI’s Performing Arts Librarian Scott Stone, give an in-depth and multifaceted insight into the historical, cultural, sociopolitical, and artistic influences that shaped both the original show and the Department of Drama's spring production.
