A baker and his wife wish to have a child, and reverse a curse. A greedy young girl wishes to visit her old granny, and see what lies beyond the path. A poor boy wishes for friendship and adventure, while his mother wishes to keep food on the table. A young woman wishes to go to a ball to meet a prince. Together, and yet alone, they will venture into the woods to get their wishes. There they will meet witches and giants and wolves. They will find magic and lessons that need to be learned.  Be careful the path you take through the woods. Wishes come true, not free, in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s modern musical classic.

Into the Woods

Theatre Tallahassee

LYO is delighted to bring you the World Premier of THE QUEST with stirring music by Nathan Williamson and witty lyrics by Megg Nicol - an impassioned battle between idealistic young scientists and corrupt politicians this story takes inspiration from the works of WH Auden and Christopher Isherwood.

The Quest - London Youth Opera

Shaw Theatre

Robbed of his position, power and wealth, his enemies have left him in isolation. But this is no ordinary man, and this no ordinary island. Prospero is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend nature to his will. When a sail appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the ocean to the ship that carries the men who wronged him. Creating a vast magical storm he wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When they wake they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems.
