Embark on a magical journey with South Hunterdon High School’s production of Into the Woods! This beloved musical weaves together the tales of classic fairy-tale characters — Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (of beanstalk fame), and Rapunzel — as they venture into the woods to pursue their deepest desires. Along the way, they discover that wishes come with consequences, and happily ever after isn’t always what it seems. Full of heart, humor, and unforgettable songs by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, Into the Woods reminds us that life’s twists and turns are part of our own stories.

Tickets go on sale Friday, January 16, 2026. Don’t miss your chance to experience this enchanting musical adventure performed by our talented students!
