Musical: Into the Woods| Laurel School Performing Arts

Into the Woods

One of Stephen Sondheim's most popular works, Into the Woods is a musically sophisticated show with twists of dark comedy. The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. Happily ever after is not always the end of the story.

Synopsis

“Once upon a time, in a far-off kingdom,” Cinderella pines to go to the king’s festival, impoverished Jack tends to his pet cow, Little Red Riding Hood sets out to visit her grandmother, Rapunzel longs to see the world and a Baker and his wife learn they can’t have children because the Witch from next door put a curse on them. All these characters — and more — go into the woods to make their wishes come true.

Magic beans from the Witch’s garden enable Jack to visit a kingdom in the sky, steal gold and slay a giant; Cinderella and Rapunzel meet their charming princes; Little Red has a meaningful encounter with a Wolf; and the Baker and Baker’s Wife succeed in gathering the items needed to undo their curse.

Just when everyone thinks they will live happily ever after, a forgotten magic bean sprouts a second stalk, and a giant’s wife in search of revenge upends the proverbial fairy-tale ending as they learn that actions have consequences and they discover the value of community.
