Seattle is known for being the birthplace of famous brands like Starbucks and Amazon.com. But it’s also the home of several Broadway-caliber theaters, too. In fact, Seattle audiences got to see the world premieres of The Wedding Singer and Hairspray at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Musical Theatre before either of the musicals opened on Broadway.
5th Avenue Musical Theatre’s next production, Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods, opens on Friday, October 19 for a four week run. Into the Woods weaves together the stories of Rapunzel, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstock, and other favorite fairy tale characters into a modern musical examining personal responsibility and fidelity. It also includes the gorgeous ballad “No One is Alone.”
