Recent Production
The musical intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales, exploring the consequences of the characters' wishes and quests. The main characters are taken from "Little Red Riding Hood", "Jack and the Beanstalk", "Rapunzel", "Cinderella", and several others. The musical is tied together by a story involving a childless baker and his wife and their quest to begin a family (the original beginning of the Grimm Brothers' "Rapunzel"), their interaction with a witch who has placed a curse on them, and their interaction with other storybook characters during their journey.

“There’s something particularly magical about knot free’s intimate revival..musical theatre bliss... A virtual dreamcast of L.A. based musical theater stars.”
“The production of Into the Woods now on the boards at L.A.’s Greenway Court Theatre is the best stage musical this reviewer has seen since—I don’t know, once upon a time?”
“Skillfully helmed by Mary Jo Duprey with musical direction by Anthony Zediker, INTO THE WOODS is as close to perfect as a production gets. Each member of the large cast has a magnificent voice and knows how to project – and act besides. Kudos to the huge, talented, and exuberant ensemble cast.”
