The National Youth Music Theatre has announced a production of INTO THE WOODS coming to the Southwark Playhouse Elephant.

The musical was announced as part of the National Youth Music Theatre (NYMT) 2024 summer season, which will debut at Southwark Playhouse Elephant, performed by the remarkable Young Company Members of NYMT 2024, who are 10 – 23 years old.

The Tony Award-winning book and score are enchanting in their poignancy, touching on the universal themes of family and friendship; love and loyalty; belonging and betrayal.
