| StageAgent Show Synopsis: |
Into the Woods combines the well-known fairy tales of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Little Red Ridinghoood with the story of the Baker and his Wife who desperately want a child. Unfortunately, the Baker and his Wife have been cursed with childlessness by a witch and must perform various missions involving the characters in the other fairy tales to break the spell. The Baker and his Wife must bring the witch a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn, and a slipper as pure as gold. After a series of failed attempts, the Baker and his Wife finally are able to perform the tasks necessary to break the spell. Once the characters have accomplished their goals, however, they learn about the pitfalls of greed and gluttony. Finally, they learn about the need for community and family when they must unite to fight against the wife of the giant Jack killed who has decided to come back for revenge. – more

| Additional Info: | f you think you know your fairy tales, think again. This brilliant Tony Award-winning
musical tells many stories: A childless Baker and his Wife, a maybe not-so-Wicked Witch,
an indecisive Cinderella, a dim-witted Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding
Hood, two very vain Princes, all jumbled together by a mysterious narrator as they make
their hopeful ways while seeking their heartÃs desire. Be careful what you wish for; in
the woods you might just get it. What begins as a lively irreverent fantasy becomes a
moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children. |
