Time to win a pair of tickets to watch Into the Woods at Montecasino
A mysterious fairy tale for adults that will enchant and haunt you…
It is in turn moody and magical, witty and wise. It provides the kind of intellectual and emotional satisfaction, and the kind of exhilarating theatrical experience that you would expect from Stephen Sondheim, the creator of musical masterpieces such as Sweeney Todd and West Side Story.
James Lapine (Book) and Stephen Sondheim (Music & Lyrics) take everyone’s favourite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece… and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching.
Don’t be deceived: this is not a musical for children! This is a wicked and wonderful cautionary fairy tale for adults that will delight you and haunt you. It is all about what it is to be human; to long for something other, to wish for something more than what you have, to deal with the inevitable loss and the terrible beauty that this journey through the world offers us.
It has all the allure of the fairy tale, the mystery, the whimsy. And it tells of love, loss, desire, hope… and revenge… With its roots deeply planted in old folk tales, it offers a rich harvest of ideas. It also has a dazzling score with ravishing melody and seductive rhythms. It also boasts one of the cleverest, most complex set of lyrics ever written for musical theatre.
This is Sondheim at his very best; a very rare opportunity to revel in his wisdom and originality.
