Into the Woods is an award-winning musical with music and lyrics by Stephen
Sondheim and book by James Lapine. It debuted in San Diego at the Old Globe
Theatre in 1986, and premiered on Broadway in 1987. Bernadette Peters'
performance as the Witch, and Joanna Gleason's portrayal of the Baker's
Wife, brought acclaim to the production during its original Broadway run.
Into the Woods won several Tony Awards, including Best Score, Best Book,
and Best Actress in a Musical (Joanna Gleason), in a year dominated by The
Phantom of the Opera. The musical has been produced many times, with a 1988
national tour, a 1990 West End production, a 1991 television production, a
1997 tenth anniversary concert, a 2002 Los Angeles production and a 2002
