West End's INTO THE WOODS Digital Download Available for Pre-Order, Released on March 31

Digital Theatre today (14 March 2011) announces the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre production of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Into The Woods, which yesterday won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival, is now available for pre-order at www.digitaltheatre.com, for release on Thursday 31 March at 10am.

Into the Woods takes the stories of The Brothers Grimm and gives them a dark and humorous twist. The popular tales of Red Ridinghood, Jack (of Beanstalk fame), Cinderella and Rapunzel are interwoven with that of the Baker and his Wife and their quest to have a child. However this re-telling goes beyond ‘happily ever after' as the familiar characters find themselves in unfamiliar circumstances and hopes and dreams are questioned and revisited.

Celebrating Stephen Sondheim's 80th birthday, the 2010 season at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre closed with Sondheim and Lapine's 1987 musical Into the Woods co-directed by Timothy Sheader and Liam Steel. With designs by Soutra Gilmour, movement by co-director Liam Steel, musical supervision and direction Gareth Valentine, lighting by Jon Clark, orchestrations by Chris Walker and sound by Mike Walker, Into the Woods became the highest selling single production at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre.
