⭐ INTO THE WOODS – LONDON REVIVAL ANNOUNCED FOR BRIDGE THEATRE – DECEMBER 2025 ⭐
A brand-new staging of Sondheim and Lapine’s dazzling and moving musical INTO THE WOODS has been announced for London’s Bridge Theatre.
INTO THE WOODS will start previews at the Bridge Theatre from 2nd December 2025, in a production helmed by director Jordan Fein and designer Tom Scutt.
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s collaboration — their second, after Sunday in the Park with George — brilliantly weaves together four Grimms’ fairy-tales in a story of a baker and his wife on their quest to reverse a curse of childlessness cast upon them by the wicked witch.
On its Broadway debut in 1986, INTO THE WOODS won Tony awards each for Sondheim (Best Musical) and Lapine (Best Book). In London it has had productions by Richard Jones (Phoenix Theatre, 1990), John Crowley (Donmar, 1998) and Timothy Sheader (Open Air, Regent’s Park, 2010). This will be its first London production since 2016.
Nicholas Hytner, co-founder of The Bridge, says: “Into The Woods is one of the great achievements of the American stage. Jordan Fein’s production of Fiddler on the Roof at the Open Air Theatre last year was a triumph, beautifully staged and overwhelmingly moving, and Tom Scutt has established himself across the world as a designer of rare talent and imagination.”
Jordan Fein’s credits include Fiddler on the Roof at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. Tom Scutt’s extensive credits include Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club in the West End and on Broadway where he won the Tony award last year for Best Scenic Design of a Musical.
Casting will be announced in due course.
INTO THE WOODS will play the Bridge Theatre, running from 2nd December 2025 – 18th April 2026.
