The entire original cast of the New York City Center Encores! production of James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's revival of Into the Woods at the St. James Theatre will be extending for an additional two weeks through Sunday, September 4th. As previously announced, the production has been extended for an additional eight weeks. Tickets are now on sale through October 16th.

Additional casting announcements will be made soon.

Additionally, Sara Bareilles and the producers announced today that in partnership with Harriet Tubman Effect, 200 free orchestra seat tickets will be given out through HTE Tix for the August 26th , August 27th , September 2nd , and September 3rd evening performances.

HTE Tix is a new initiative developed by Harriet Tubman Effect that helps young people from underserved communities who do not have the resources to see a Broadway show.

"I believe the magic of the theater is transformative," says Sara Bareilles. "It could and should belong to every human being. It is my hope that this small gesture will invite new members of our beloved communities to experience this very sacred place. I'm grateful to our producers for their open hearts, and to Nicole Johnson and the Harriet Tubman Effect who are going to help bring the wonder of the theater to new audience members."
