Into the Woods

Musical Theater West presents Into the West as part of its 2025 season, The Season of Legends, celebrating the rise of two music legends, beloved fairytale legends, and one legendary matchmaker!

Journey into the enchanting world of fairy tales as they collide in the Tony Award-winning Into the Woods, written by legendary musical theatre composer Stephen Sondheim. This bewitching tale follows familiar characters like Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Jack (of beanstalk fame) as they venture into the mysterious woods to fulfill their deepest wishes. But as their desires intertwine, consequences unfold in unexpected ways as the characters explore the complexities of wishes and the responsibility of storytelling.

Performances will be held at The Carpenter Performing Arts Center. Season ticket renewals are currently underway, with new subscriptions on sale now. Single show tickets will go on sale in October. For more information, visit musical.org or call (562) 856-1999.
