Into the Woods” to Begin in the 2016/17 Season

“TRULY ENCHANTING! THESE ARE THE WOODS THAT YOU WANT TO GET LOST IN, A PLACE YOU’LL FIND BURIED TREASURES THAT YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW EXISTED.” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times

National Tour of Acclaimed “Into the Woods” to begin in the 2016/17 Season

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (September 2016) – Playhouse Square is excited to welcome INTO THE WOODS to Cleveland, January 10-29, 2017. Tickets are on sale now at playhousesquare.org, the State Theatre ticket office (1519 Euclid Avenue) or by calling 216-241-6000.

Already a Tony Award® winner, and one of this year’s Academy Award and Golden Globe nominees for the feature film with Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s INTO THE WOODS has taken New York by storm this season in a celebrated new production that will launch a national tour in the 2016/17 Season.

The tour brings together the Dodgers, current producers of Jersey Boys and Matilda, and the original Tony Award-wining producers of INTO THE WOODS with Bernadette Peters, and of its revival with Vanessa Williams, with NETworks Presentations, the wizards of the road who recently brought you South Pacific, Phantom and War Horse, to present the acclaimed Fiasco Theater production of INTO THE WOODS that became New York’s surprise hit of this season. Unanimously acclaimed, extended twice at the Roundabout, the award-winning musical classic was mounted with boundless imagination this New York theater season: A witty and wild theatrical re-invention like you’ve never seen it before.

Including dazzling songs like “Children Will Listen” and “No One Is Alone,” this thrillingly clever new version made Ben Brantley of The New York Times fall “head over heels. Mind the wolf, heed the witch and honor the giant in the sky at this extraordinary musical about the power of wishes and what really happens after they come true.”

“Fiasco has quickly become a force to reckon with in American theater. Deploying sparklingly lucid powers of interpretation, Fiasco has presented the most accessible version ever of the Stephen Sondheim-James Lapine musical Into the Woods.” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times

Into The Woods is part of the 2016-2017 KeyBank Broadway Series at Playhouse Square. For more show details, ticket prices, performance dates and times please visit our Into The Woods show page.
