This is a full-show costume hire package, created to give your production a consistent and visually engaging fairytale world from start to finish.
• Principal character costumes
• Ensemble and village styling
• Storybook fairytale looks
• Character accessories and finishing details including Milky White
• Footwear and key accessories where appropriate
The collection is designed to give each principal role its own recognisable character silhouette while still ensuring the full company sits naturally within the same on-stage world.
Into the Woods intertwines some of the most familiar fairytale characters ever written — including Cinderella, Jack, Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel — and draws them into a darker, more complex story about wishes, consequences and responsibility.
At the heart of the musical is the Baker and the Baker’s Wife, who are drawn into the woods in an attempt to break a witch’s curse. As their story crosses with the lives of other well-known characters, the show moves from charm and comedy into something deeper, more emotional and more human.
The result is a rich and visually varied production that requires costumes capable of balancing fantasy, character and theatrical storytelling.
The Baker – Practical, humble and grounded within the storybook world
The Baker’s Wife – Warm, expressive and central to the emotional arc of the show
The Witch – Powerful, dramatic and visually striking
Cinderella – Classic fairytale elegance with scope for transformation
Jack – Rustic, youthful and simple in contrast to the magical world around him
Little Red Riding Hood – Instantly recognisable and full of character
Rapunzel – Romantic, elevated fairytale styling
The Princes – Bold, theatrical and comic in presentation
The ensemble helps build the wider fairytale landscape, giving depth and movement to the woods, village and storybook atmosphere.
• Recognisable storybook silhouettes for principal characters
• Magical and dramatic Witch transformations
• Contrasting rustic, regal and enchanted styling
• Strong visual storytelling through the woods scenes
• Ensemble looks that help create a layered, theatrical fairytale world
And don't forget Milky White
Into the Woods works best when the audience can immediately recognise the classic characters, while still feeling that they belong to one unified production world. Our collection has been built with exactly that balance in mind.
This costume package has been created for practical stage use as well as visual impact. The costumes are designed to read clearly under theatre lighting, allow movement through complex staging, and support the tonal shift from light fairytale charm to darker second-act drama.
Whether your production leans more traditional, more playful or more atmospheric in style, the collection provides a strong visual foundation for performance.
