Into The Woods – YIHS Theater

Youth Initiative High School proudly presents Into the Woods February 10, 11, 17 &18 at The Commons Theater in Viroqua. Showtimes are 7pm each night, as well as a 2pm matinee on the 18th. This musical brings to life Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Ridinghood and other well-known fairytale characters. Interwoven with these classics is the story of the baker and his wife, whose longing for a child is thwarted by a mischievous witch who lives next door. James Lapine and Steven Sondheim have fashioned a musical which goes beyond mere Broadway razamatazzz. Sondheim’s songs, seamlessly melded to Lapine’s text, are perfect expressions of character and action which reflects the complications of living in modern society and the difficult choices we encounter on the paths of our lives.

Parents are encouraged to research the content of the musical before bringing children under 10; some aspects of the story may be scary for young viewers. Questions may be directed to [email protected]. Tickets are on sale now at yihs.ludus.com.
