Reviewer Quotes

“ Brilliant...an outstanding cast embodies the storybook characters with no-holds-barred and dramatic flair ”

Back Stage

In a new Chance staging of Sondheim’s musical masterpiece, you’ll experience how the stories we choose to pass on shape who we are. “I wish…” When a slew of fairy-tale characters cross paths in the tangled darkness of these magical woods, they soon learn that “wishes come true, not free.” Explore how the shadows of the past influence life choices in this truly theatrical journey. What stories do YOU tell?
