$5 Off Tix: Timeless Musical “Into the Woods” Live in SF (Nov. 20-Jan. 17)

James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim explore the darker side of happily ever after in the timeless and ever-relevant Into the Woods. Beloved storybook characters collide as this timeless tale weaves together the stories of a childless Baker and his wife, Cinderella’s quest for love, and Jack’s journey to giant-slaying fame. With its rich blend of humor, heartache, and unforgettable melodies, Into the Woods reveals that even the most familiar stories hold unexpected twists and profound lessons.

Don’t miss Sondheim & Lapine’s modern fairy-tale musical, reimagined. On stage beginning November 20, the San Francisco Playhouse production brings wit, wonder, and a soaring score. Deadline calls Into the Woods “A musical theater masterpiece.”
