‘Be careful what you wish for…….’ Is the ongoing theme in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Brother’s Grimm inspired Tony Award Winning Musical.
The story follows the Baker and his Wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella, who wishes to go to the King’s Festival and Jack, who wishes his cow would give some milk.
When the Baker and his Wife are visited by the neighborhood Witch, who reveals to them that she placed a curse on their family, the two set off on a journey Into the Woods to reverse the curse!
Also in The Woods, we meet Little Red Riding Hood, who is trying to visit her Grandmother, The Wolf, who loves tasty little girls, the Witch’s Daughter, Rapunzel and The Two Princes, chasing after their loves.
By the end of Act One, everyone has gotten their wish and will ‘seemingly’ live Happily Ever After! But in Act Two, when Jack’s Beanstalk brings him a visit from an Angry Giant, we see how the consequences of their actions haunt them in disastrous ways.
The community must come together to save each other and their Kingdom……………but, sacrifices must be made!
