Producer Jamie Wilson praised the cast and production team, noting the excitement of transferring the show to one of the West End’s “most beautiful playhouses”. He highlighted the process of adapting the production for its new home after months of collaboration.

The creative team features set and costume designer Tom Scutt, musical supervisor Mark Aspinall, orchestrator Jonathan Tunick and lighting designer Aideen Malone. Additional creative roles include sound design by Adam Fisher, video by Roland Horvath and movement direction by Jenny Ogilvie.

Into the Woods features music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim with a book by James Lapine, continuing the legacy of the much-celebrated musical’s West End presence.
