Step into a fairy tale; into tangled woods, where wishes come true, at a cost. A bold production of one of Sondheim's most beloved musicals. Journey alongside Cinderella, Little Red, Jack, the Baker and his wife as wishes are granted and consequences unravel. With thrilling live vocals, an orchestra and inventive staging, this intimate, up-close production places you at the heart of the story. Expect mischief, ambition and emotional crunch as the woods grow darker and the price of chasing what we want becomes clear. 'With so little, Captivate creates so much spectacle' (TheWeeReview.com).
