A red cape, a strand of golden hair, a golden shoe, and a white cow—it’s these four items that send a baker and his wife through the woods on a magical journey to reverse an evil spell in the Northern Valley Regional High School at Old Tappan’s upcoming production of “Into the Woods.”
Tickets are now on sale at www.seatyourself.biz/nvottheater for performances, which will be Friday, Feb. 28 at 7 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 29* at 2 p.m., Feb. 29 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 1 at 2 p.m.
(*The Saturday matinee show is abridged and tailored to the youngest audience members, more in line with the junior script which concludes with the happy-ever-after ending of Act One, but none of the sadness and adult life-lessons of Act Two.)
In the plot, the baker and his wife wish for a child and are sent by an evil witch on the scavenger hunt to reverse the curse that has left them childless. Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel, and Cinderella soon join the mix, on this magical tale of love and adventure. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.
The play is considered one of Stephen Sondheim’s most popular works, a musically sophisticated show about wishes, family and the choices we make.
Say show runners: “Don’t miss out! Get your tickets and guarantee your seat for this incredible musical!”
Senior citizens are also welcome to attend the dress rehearsal at 6 p.m. on Feb. 26; contact wilcox@nvnet.org or 201-784-1600, ext. 24550, for tickets for this performance.
