The winner of several Tony Awards, including Best Score and Best Book, 鈥淚nto the Woods鈥 is one of Stephen Sondheim鈥檚 most popular and enduring musicals. This beautiful and entrancing tale of magic blends familiar fairy tales like 鈥淟ittle Red Riding Hood,鈥 鈥淛ack and the Beanstalk,鈥 鈥淩apunzel,鈥 and 鈥淐inderella,鈥 following the story of a baker and his wife as they try to undo a witch鈥檚 curse that has left them childless. Musically sophisticated, 鈥淚nto the Woods鈥 offers audiences a lush and exciting celebration of life that reminds us that our actions have consequences, our lives are interdependent, and that our interdependence is our greatest strength. Winner of best revival awards in 2002 and 2011, 鈥淚nto the Woods鈥 is a sure fire crowd-pleaser.

Based on the Jane Austen novel, this refreshing, light-hearted romp through the English countryside tells the story of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, as they cope with changing social circumstances and wistful longings for love. Told with quick, tight structuring and a chorus of gossips, 鈥淪ense and Sensibility鈥 is inventive and full of comic vitality. The New York Times called Kate Hamill鈥檚 bouncy, jaunty take on this beloved classic an unconditional delight, and Time Out called it an exuberant and thoroughly modern exploration of ageless emotions. Kate Hamill鈥檚 鈥淪ense and Sensibility鈥 has everything you鈥檇 expect from a Jane Austen novel and much more.聽 Festival Repertory Theatre also includes two big band concerts featuring hits from the 30s, 40s and 50s presented by the 麻豆精品视频Swing Era Jazz Band; and a four-piano extravaganza.
