Bridge Theatre Unveils Major New Production of Into The Woods and Return of Immersive A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Two Exciting Productions Set for 2025 at London's Bridge Theatre

The Bridge Theatre has announced an exciting lineup for 2025, featuring a brand-new production of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's beloved musical Into The Woods, along with the highly anticipated return of the immersive staging of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

A Dazzling New Staging of Into The Woods

The new production of Into The Woods will have a strictly limited 20-week run beginning previews from 2 December 2025 and ending on 18 April 2026. Directed by Jordan Fein (Fiddler on the Roof, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre) and designed by Tony Award-winning Tom Scutt (Cabaret, West End & Broadway), this promises to be a captivating interpretation of Sondheim and Lapine’s classic musical.

The iconic show cleverly blends four Grimms' fairy-tales around the journey of a baker and his wife, who must break a witch’s curse to start a family. Originally premiering on Broadway in 1986, Into The Woods was a critical success, earning multiple Tony Awards.

Nicholas Hytner, co-founder of the Bridge Theatre, praised the production team, stating:

“Into The Woods is one of the great achievements of the American stage. Jordan Fein’s recent work was beautifully staged and overwhelmingly moving, and Tom Scutt is a designer of rare talent and imagination.”

Casting details for the show will be announced soon.

Return of the Immersive A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Following its acclaimed initial run in 2019, the Bridge Theatre’s immersive production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is returning from 31 May to 23 August 2025 (press night on 5 June). Directed again by Nicholas Hytner, this production places audiences directly into the enchanting and chaotic world of Shakespeare’s classic comedy.
