Music and Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM
Book by JAMES LAPINE
magine all your favourite fairytales coming together in one unique theatrical experience. From the pen of Stephen Sondheim (West Side Story, Gypsy, A Little Night Music, Assassins and
Sweeney Todd) and James Lapine comes this fabulous fractured fairy tale – the perfect family treat to mark the 10th Anniversary of Stage Experience at the Edinburgh Playhouse. Following the popular tales of Little Red Ridinghood; Jack (of Beanstalk fame); Cinderella, Rapunzel and their not-so-princely Princes are interwoven with that of the Baker and his Wife and their quest to reverse a Witch’s spell. However this re-telling goes beyond ‘happily ever after’ as the familiar characters find themselves in unfamiliar circumstances and hopes and dreams are questioned and revisited through a series of comic plots. After the success of the Oscar nominated Disney film adaptation, this new production includes a wonderful musical score featuring Children Will Listen, Giants in the Sky and No One Is Alone. Brought to life by a hugely talented young company drawn from all over Scotland, don’t miss what is a rare opportunity to see this Tony and Olivier award-winning musical on the stage of the UK’s largest theatre.
