nebraska wesleyan closes theatre season with fairy tale musical
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska Wesleyan University will close its season with the musical of fables, Into the Woods.
The Pulitzer Prize-honored show by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine blends familiar fairy tales with the story of a childless baker and his wife who catalyze the action of the story by attempting to reverse a curse on their family in order to have a child. To reverse the curse and “live happily ever after,” they journey through fables like Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk. In doing so, they learn what happens after “happily ever after.” For instance, what does one do with a dead giant in the backyard?
Performances are scheduled for May 1-3 and May 7-10 at 7:30 p.m. and on May 4 at 2 p.m. All shows will be held in McDonald Theatre, 51st and Huntington Ave. Admission is $15 for adults, $10 for students and senior citizens, and $7.50 for youth under 12 years. For tickets, call the box office at 402.465.2384.
