You Wish to Go to the Festival? Opening Night Date Confirmed for Reimagined Into the Woods Off-Broadway

We don’t care how, the time is now! Well, December. The off-Broadway revival of Into the Woods will begin performances on December 18 at the Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. Opening night for the Roundabout production is now set for January 22, 2015. The Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine tuner will play a limited engagement through March 22.

Directed by Noah Brody and Ben Steinfeld, the production features only ten actors and one piano. The stripped-down take, presented by Fiasco Theater, originally played New Jersey’s McCarter Theatre Center last year and is now running at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego. The beloved reimagining of fairy tales centers on a childless Baker and his wife, who embark on a quest to find the four items required to break a witch’s spell: the cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yellow as corn, and the slipper as pure as gold.

Casting for the off-Broadway production will be announced at a later date.
