Find out what happens after "happily ever after" when Pittsburgh CLO presents Into the Woods. Once Upon a Time, a Baker and his wife embarked on a quest to break a witch's spell. On their journey "into the woods" they cross paths with Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Cinderella and a host of other hysterically flawed fairy tale characters.
This cast of familiar fairytale faces must confront the fact that their happily ever after may not be so. Experience this fabulously fractured fable August 4 through August 9 at the Benedum Center in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh's Cultural District. Stephen Sondheim's award-winning score casts a magical spell with such gems as "Children Will Listen," "Giants in The Sky" and "No One Is Alone."
