Into the Woods Jr Performances

$5

Performed by Child’s Play NY students in grades 4-6.

Book by James Lapine
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Based on classic fairy tales

Be careful what you wish for, as Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s cockeyed fairytale comes to life in this adaptation of their groundbreaking, Tony Award-winning musical. Into the Woods JR. features all of your favorite characters — Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch — in this lyrically rich retelling of classic Brothers Grimm fables.

The musical centers on a baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse, and wind up changed forever.

Performances occurred Jan 12 and Jan 21, 2026.

At the First Unitarian Congregation Society, 121 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights.
