SALISBURY — Be careful what you wish for as Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s cockeyed fairytale comes to life as Piedmont Players presents “Into the Woods, Jr.”
This adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical features all of your favorite characters — Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch — in a retelling of classic Brothers Grimm fables. The musical centers on a baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the king’s festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse, and wind up changed forever.
Music and lyrics are by Sondheim from the book by Lapine.
“Into the Woods, Jr.” is directed by Simmon Moray with music directed by Jenny Carroll.
