Tony Award-winning musical Into the Woods comes to Steinmetz Hall this week, starring Jodi Benson \u2014 best known as the voice of Ariel in Disney\u2019s The Little Mermaid \u2014 as the Witch, alongside a cast of Orlando talent. Not only was Benson proclaimed a \u201cDisney Legend\u201d in 2011, her theater career \u2014 including roles in Welcome to the Club, Smile and a Tony nomination for her performance in 1992\u2019s Crazy for You \u2014 is formidable.<\/p>\n

Into the Woods, a deconstruction of the Grimm brothers\u2019 fairy tales, is one of Stephen Sondheim\u2019s most acclaimed works, and this production of it is the first professional show self-produced by the Dr. Phillips Center. Understandably, there\u2019s a magical level of anticipation.<\/p>\n

Various times July 1-Aug. 2, Steinmetz Hall at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org<\/a>, $77-$201.<\/p>\n
