We now know who will be going off-Broadway Into the Woods! Jessie Austrian, Noah Brody, Paul L. Coffey, Andy Grotelueschen, Liz Hayes, Claire Karpen, Jennifer Mudge, Patrick Mulryan, Ben Steinfeld and Emily Young will appear in the Roundabout revival of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s classic musical. Previews will begin on December 18 at the Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre, with opening night set for January 22, 2015.
All the actors are reprising their roles in the Fiasco Theater stripped down production, which has played both at New Jersey’s McCarter Theatre Center and the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego. Austrian will play the Baker’s Wife, with Brody as Lucinda, Wolf & Cinderella’s Prince, Coffey as Mysterious Man, Grotelueschen as Milky White, Florinda & Rapunzel’s Prince, Hayes as Cinderella’s Stepmother & Jack’s Mother, Karpen as Cinderella & Granny, Mudge as Witch, Mulryan as Jack & Steward, Ben Steinfeld as Baker and Emily Young as Little Red Ridinghood & Rapunzel.
The beloved reimagining of fairy tales centers on a childless Baker and his wife, who embark on a quest to find the four items required to break a witch’s spell: the cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yellow as corn, and the slipper as pure as gold.
Directed by Noah Brody and Ben Steinfeld, the production will feature set design by Derek McLane , with costimes by Whitney Locher , lighting by Christopher Akerlind, sound by Darron L West , choreography by Lisa Shriver and musical direction by Matt Castle/
The tuner will play a limited engagement through March 22.
