The Story
Into The Woods JR. features all of your favorite characters—Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk), Rapunzel and the Witch in this lyrically rich re-telling of classic Brothers Grimm fables.
When a Baker and his Wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects (a cow as white as milk...a cape as red as blood... hair as yellow as corn... a slipper as pure as gold...) required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella (with the slipper as pure as gold) Little Red Ridinghood (with a cape as red as blood) Rapunzel (with the hair as yellow as corn) and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk - with the cow as white as milk). The two set off on a journey to break the curse and wind up changed forever.
