A new film adaptation of Into the Woods hits UK cinemas on Friday 9th January and to celebrate, we’re giving you the chance to see the real thing with a discount.

Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s twist on the Brothers Grimm stories is a darkly funny musical that will enchant fans of theatre and fairytales alike. It’s no wonder, then, that Rob Marshall has directed a movie version, starring James Corden, Meryl Streep, Chris Pine and Anna Kendrick. But what if you want to see the original first? What if you prefer the stage to the screen? What if you just really love Stephen Sondheim and want an excuse to see it again?

Well, good news! We’ve teamed up with the fine folks at DigitalTheatre.com to offer VODzilla.co readers 20% off the play.

Into the Woods weaves the popular tales of Red Riding Hood, Jack (of Beanstalk fame), Cinderella and Rapunzel with that of the Baker and his Wife’s quest to have a child. DigitalTheatre.com is a rather nifty VOD service, which records productions around the UK to make theatre affordable, accessible and available online long after a play’s run has finished.

Into the Woods was recorded in 2011 at London’s famous Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. If Rob Marshall’s film comes with award pedigree, this production certainly does: it won Best Musical Revival at the Olivier Awards three years ago, as well as Best Director for Timothy Sheader at the Whatsonstage.com Awards.

It is available to rent for £3.99 from Digital Theatre.com and purchase for £8.99 (in SD) and £10.99 (in HD). To get your exclusive 20% discount, simply visit the site, add the play to your basket, and enter the promo code “red-riding-hood” at the checkout.

The 20% discount is available until Monday 12th January.
