Into the Woods: Théatre du Châtelet

O wydarzeniu

Take a walk in the woods with the master of Broadway musicals, Stephen Sondheim, at the Théatre du Châtelet in Paris.

With 'Into the Woods', Stephen Sondheim offers an interpretation of famous fairy tales which bypasses the nostalgic lanes of childhood. Instead, the work explores with humor and enchanting melodies the metaphoric role of the forest in traditional tales.

The 'horseshoe' shape of the historic Théâtre du Châtelet results in partially blocked views from some seats. The different prices take these disturbances into account.
