Review Roundup: What are the critics saying about Into The Woods at the Bridge Theatre?

Theatre’s most twisted fairy tale has arrived at the Bridge Theatre. Into the Woods, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Tony Award-winning musical, returns in a bold new production that dives deep into a world where familiar stories blend, collide, and break apart. Playing for a strictly limited run, this reimagining promises an enchanting, unsettling, and richly theatrical journey…

What is Into the Woods about?

This thrilling revival follows the Baker and his Wife, who set out on a perilous quest to break a wicked curse. Their search leads them into the heart of the woods, where they cross paths with Cinderella, Jack, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and other beloved characters — each chasing a wish of their own. 

But magic always comes at a cost. As dreams are granted and destinies shift, the characters are forced to confront loss, responsibility, and the uncomfortable truth that “happily ever after” isn’t always what it seems. With Sondheim’s iconic, intricately layered score, Into the Woods delivers a spellbinding blend of dark humour, emotional depth, and fairy-tale wonder.
