Stage favorite Ann Harada steps into the role of Jack's Mother in the Broadway revival of Into the Woods beginning September 27, reprising her role from the two-week summer run for Encores! at New York City Center where the production began. She succeeds Aymee Garcia, who originated the role for the current Broadway run at the St. James Theatre. 

With a book by James Lapine and a score by Stephen Sondheim, Into the Woods combines the fairy-tale stories of Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel, and more, ultimately going beyond "ever after" to explore what happens next.
