Into The Woods will transfer to the Noël Coward Theatre this autumn
The Olivier-winning revival will transfer into the West End this September for a limited season
Into The Woods ends its run at the Bridge Theatre next month, but that won’t be goodbye – the production will transfer to the Noël Coward Theatre this autumn, marking the first West End transfer for a Bridge Theatre production. Jordan Fein’s celebrated revival will play at the Noël Coward Theatre from 22 September through to 9 January.
It’s also been announced that Kate Fleetwood will reprise her role as the Witch. Full casting for the Noël Coward Theatre run has yet to be announced.
The musical won two Olivier Awards at this year’s ceremony, taking home the coveted Best Musical Revival alongside Best Lighting Design.
Producer Jamie Wilson said of the transfer, “Sondheim and Lapine’s Into The Woods is, quite simply, a masterpiece, and Jordan and Tom’s production is the perfect imaging of this very singular piece. I’m honoured to be partnering with the Bridge Theatre to bring the production to the West End, enabling a wider audience to experience their genius close up in the intimacy of the Noël Coward Theatre.”
Fein said, “It’s been both a privilege and a joy to direct this new production of Into The Woods at the Bridge Theatre. To now bring this wonderful show into the West End is thrilling and will give new audiences the opportunity to experience the brilliant music and words of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine.”
The Bridge’s Nicholas Hytner said, “I couldn’t be happier that this wonderful production will have a new life at the Noël Coward, and I hope that a wide new audience will be able to see it in the West End.”
Into The Woods is currently playing at the Bridge Theatre until 30 May – find tickets here
