MHS Spring Musical -
Into the Woods
March 20 -22


​Morristown High School Theater, winner of last year’s Broadway World Best High School Theater Production, invites you to join this year’s musical journey  Into The Woods .

When a childless baker and his wife, Cinderella, Jack (of Beanstalk fame), Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood and favorite characters venture into the woods seeking their hearts' desire, they get a lot more than they bargained for.

Featuring Sondheim’s most celebrated music, this Tony Award-winning musical will take you into a twisted, fantastic, fairytale world where “happily ever after” is just the beginning. Anything can happen in the woods: dreams come true and spells are broken but even happiness has consequences.
