Into the Woods

Did Bruno Bettelheim's 'The Uses of Enchantment' inspire the show? Is the Giant a metaphor for AIDS? Go INTO THE WOODS with us as we explore Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s beloved 1987 musical fairy tale. Learn about the show's inspirations and path to Broadway, including tidbits like the line in the show that is the only line Sondheim has ever "borrowed" from a performer - and dive deep into an analysis of the song "A Very Nice Prince."  Whether you're new to the show or, like us, already big fans, you'll find something more to love in this episode.
