Opening on Broadway in 1987, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Tony award winning masterpiece has been enchanting theatergoers ever since. Enjoy an imaginative and thoughtful journey through a world inhabited by traditional fairy tale characters. The show beautifully blends several fairy tales and answers the question of what happens AFTER “happily ever after.” A baker and his wife are approached by the local witch and told that if they want to reverse the curse caused by the Baker’s father, they must collect a very specific list of items. Through their journey, they learn that even reversing a curse may not be all that as good as it seems. This all new production will no doubt capture the enchantment of the original with an evocative approach and amazing local talent.
