Venture "Into The Woods" this August as Theatre Group Asia stages Stephen Sondheim’s acclaimed musical at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater, Circuit Makati, from Aug. 7 to 31, with matinee and evening shows at 2 PM and 7:30 PM.

This highly anticipated production marks the return of Olivier and Tony Award winner Lea Salonga to the Philippine stage, playing The Witch in a role she first portrayed three decades ago. A fusion of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and more, the musical follows a childless baker and his wife on a quest to lift a witch’s curse. What unfolds is a visually stunning, emotionally rich tale exploring the consequences of desire and the moral complexities of fairy tales.

Directed by Chari Arespacochaga as a tribute to the late Bobby Garcia, the show features production design by Clint Ramos, co-producer and creative director of the last Broadway revival. Following TGA’s 2024 hit "Request sa Radyo," this staging brings a dazzling mix of nostalgia and theatrical innovation to Manila’s theater scene.
