    Avg. Event Rating (4.9 Stars): 5 out of 5 stars rating Add Review/Comment

    An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Riding Hood? A Prince Charming with a roving eye? A witch...who raps? They're all among the cockeyed characters in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's fractured fairy tale. When a baker and his wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell. Everyone's wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. CMTSJ's Mainstage production of "Into the Woods" is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts in honor of American musical master, Stephen Sondheim.

        Was absolutely amazed by the performances of both the ensemble and the leads. I find it very hard to believe that a show much better than most professional performers can be done by teenagers.

        I saw the show on it's opening night and boy, was I impressed! The cast that I saw had so much talent for young performers. Standouts for me were the actors who played The Baker, Little Red, Cinderella's Prince and The Witch. Who knew talent like this could come out of high-schoolers? Whether you are a Sondheim lover, or just want to see a good show, go and see Into the Woods. It was a blast! Collapse

        My all-time favorite musical! Hilarious, yet meaningful. So much more than a bunch of fairy tales.

        A must to see. The actors are superb! A very funny, touching, and meaningful musical with a wonderful score that will stay with you long after the play is over.

        I admit, I thought Into the Woods would be too weird or discordant or dark. I like to keep my musicals light and happy. What a great surprise! CMT really hit all the notes on this one. I'm no longer afraid of Sondheim! So much humor in this and talent, as always is top notch. It's like 20 buck Broadway, right here in San Jose. No airfare, no hotel, which leaves plenty left over for a nice cocktail at Paragon after the show. Collapse
