Be careful what you wish for, as Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s cockeyed fairytale comes to life in this Asheville Junior Theater adaptation of their groundbreaking, Tony Award-winning musical. Into the Woods JR. features all of your favorite characters — Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch — in this lyrically rich 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.

Asheville Junior Theater has re-imagined how to tell this Sondheim classic with an artsy and creative twist. Expect minimal sets and costuming, with a keen focus on acting, singing and movement. Strip away the pomp and circumstance to highlight the deep meaning behind this allegorical tale told mostly through song.

Differing from AJT’s shows you have grown to know and love, this black-box re-imagining is best suited for adults and children who are 8 years of age and up.
Running time is approximately 75 minutes and does not have an intermission.
