ABOUT THE SHOW
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim • Book by James Lapine
Originally directed on Broadway by James Lapine • Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick
Into the Woods brings together favorite storybook characters and retells their timeless tales with a new,
musical twist. There’s Cinderella and her wicked stepmother and stepsisters, Jack and the Giant (of the
famous beanstalk), Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, Rapunzel, a witch, two princes, a baker and his
wife – and their stories all intertwine in mysterious, magical ways in the haunted woods. This Tony Awardwinning modern classic is one of Stephen Sondheim’s most popular works, adapted into a hit film version
last year. Full of dark comedy and enchanting songs, it’s an epic fairytale about wishes and curses, family,
and the choices we make.
AUDITIONS
There are 23-27 roles available for students ages 10-20. Those auditioning should prepare a song in the
style of the show for auditions, and be prepared to read from the script. Singing a song from the score is
acceptable. There is no need to prepare a monologue, and there will be no dancing at auditions. Copies of
the script are available at the Theatre and may be checked out for one week with a $10 refundable deposit.
Scripts checked out the week before auditions must be returned by Friday at 5:30 p.m.

ABOUT THE SHOW
The hilarious original musical We Are Monsters follows kids as they sneak into a monster cabaret filled
with quirky characters. As the adventurous humans meet vegetarian vampires and rock ‘n’ roll werewolves
trying to perfect their howl, they gradually realize there may be more to these monsters than meets the eye!
Most important, these monsters and kids both discover the importance of friendship and celebrate the
attributes that make us all unique!

We’re happy to keep sending you the Cue Sheet as long as you’re still interested – but if you’ve
