Amy Adams Joins Cast of 'Into the Woods' April 3, 2012, 1:00 pm Amy Adams, who has had a string of Academy Award nominations in recent years for "The Fighter," "Doubt," and "Junebug," got her start performing in dinner theater in the 1990s - but the movies made her famous before theater companies could. This summer, however, Ms. Adams will have a shot at a star turn on stage when she makes her New York debut playing the baker's wife in the musical "Into the Woods," which will run July 23 to Aug. 25 at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, the show's producers at the Public Theater announced on Tuesday. The baker's wife, a central character in a re-imagined fairytale land created by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, was played by Joanna Gleason in the original Broadway production in 1987; Ms. Gleason won the Tony Award for best actress in a musical for the performance. Kerry O'Malley played the role in the Broadway revival in 2002. Among the other actors in the Central Park production will be Jessie Mueller ("On a Clear Day You Can See Forever") as Cinderella, Gideon Glick ("Spring Awakening") as Jack, and Ivan Hernandez and Cooper Grodin as the two princes. Still to be cast are the key roles of the Witch - played on Broadway by Bernadette Peters and then Vanessa Williams - and the baker (Chip Zien and then Stephen DeRosa). Executives at the Public also announced that Oliver Platt, a Tony nominee for "Shining City" and an Emmy nominee for "Huff" and other television shows, would play the fool Touchstone in "As You Like It," which will run June 5 to 30 at the Delacorte. That production also stars Lily Rabe, Stephen Spinella and Renee Elise Goldsberry. Daniel Sullivan will direct "As You Like It"; "Into the Woods" will be directed by Timothy Sheader with co-direction by Liam Steel.
