Into the Woods
Into the Woods is an award-winning musical with music and
lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine. It
premiered on Broadway in 1987. During a year dominated by
Phantom of the Opera, the original production won several
Tony Awards, including Best Score, Best Book, and Best
Actress in a Musical (Joanna Gleason). The Musical has been
produced many time, and was recently seen on Broadway in a
2002 revival.
The musical was inspired by Bruno Bettelheim’s 1976 book,
The Uses of Enchantment. It intertwines the plots of several
Brothers Grimm tales as they explore the consequences of
their wishes and quests. The main characters come from the
stories of Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red
Riding Hook, and Rapunzel and are tied together by an
original story including a Baker and his wife who desire to
start a family. Other known tales are referenced as well. |

Journey Into Woods PR July 08
(Manteo, N.C., July 7, 2008) – This Sunday is your last chance
to journey into the enchanted forest with Little Red, Prince
Charming, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, and
other fairy tale characters as their lives intertwine in Stephen
Sondheim’s Tony award-winning musical Into the Woods. The
musical’s final performance is on July 13 at 8:15 p.m. in Manteo
on Roanoke Island.
In this musical, your favorite Brother’s Grimm characters quest
to find their wishes in a magical musical forest where their
stories, like Jack’s beanstalk, twist and tangle: Cinderella
wishes to go to the ball, Jack wishes his cow would give milk,
the Baker and his wife wish for a child, Little Red Riding hood
wants to see her grandmother, and the witch wishes to reverse a
spell. While the characters journey into the forest to get their
wish in Act I, they deal with the consequences of their wishes
in Act II.
“This musical is an opportunity to see both The Lost Colony
Company and waterside Theatre in a new light,“ says Carl
Curnutte, Executive Director and Producer. “In addition to The
Lost Colony, audiences this summer can see Into the Woods,
Sleeping Beauty, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,
and a Broadway song and dance showcase called Reaching for the
Stars.”
These ancillary productions are part of The Lost Colony’s Joe
Layton Performance Series, named in memory of Layton, an
acclaimed director of Broadway, stage and screen who directed
the production for 20 years. At The Lost Colony, Layton
conceived of a summer performance and workshop program for the
cast and crew to present their multi-faceted arts and talents to
the public, while honing their craft through hands-on
experience.
The Lost Colony’s Director, Robert Richmond, leads this
production. Richmond studied at the Royal Scottish Academy of
Music and Drama. At New York’s famed Aquila Theatre, he directed
over 30 production including Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Twelfth
Night, The Invisible Man, Agamemmnon, Othello, The Man Who Would
Be King, Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Importance of Being
Ernest, The Tempest, Wrath of Achilles, Much Ado About Nothing,
Cyrano de Bergerac, Julius Caesar, The Iliad: Book One, and King
Lear. At Carnegie Hall, he directed concert engagements of
Cherubini’s Medea, Tanyev’s Oreseia, and Theodorakis’ Electra.
