University High School's "Into The Woods"
"Into The Woods" is Stephen Sondheim's enchanting musical tale of a baker and his wife trying to lift a curse which has kept them childless, as it romps through the Brothers Grimm's collection of classic fairy tales. You'll meet characters from "Little Red Riding Hood," "Cinderella," "Jack and the Beanstalk," "Rapunzel" and more along the way.
The show debuted at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre in 1986 and was a Broadway hit less than a year later, starring Bernadette Peters as The Witch. Winner of Tony Awards for Best Score, Best Book and Best Actress (for Joanna Gleason as The Baker's Wife), it became a major motion-picture smash in 2014 with Meryl Streep starring as The Witch.
Produced by University High School's Director of Theater Arts Ronnie Sperling, the 105-minute show (including one, 15-minute intermission) has a cast of 23, including (alphabetically):
Lizbeth Arellano as a Villager
