Into the Woods, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapines psychological exploration of fairy tales was the second collaboration of the composer/lyricist and librettist, after their Pulitzer Prize-winning Sunday in the Park with George in 1984. The Tony Award-winning musical starring Bernadette Peters as the Witch and featuring Tom Aldredge, Joanna Gleason and Chip Zien, has been one of Sondheims most produced works, and has five recordings including a Catalan version of the 2008 Barcelona production.

This work brings to musical life \"Cinderella\", \"Jack and the Beanstalk\", \"Little Red Ridinghood\" and other well-known fairy-tale characters. Interwoven with these classic tales is the story of the baker and his wife, whose longing for a child is thwarted by a mischievous witch who lives next door.
