The musical weaves the plots of several fairy tales of brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault, exploring the consequences of the wishes and quests of the characters. The main characters are taken from Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the bean stalk, Rapunzel and Cinderella, as well as a number of others. The musical is connected with the story of the childless baker and his wife and their desire to create a family (the original beginning of the Rapunzel of the Brothers Grimm), their interaction with the witch, which imposes a curse on them, and their interaction with other characters of the collection of stories during their journey. The musical debuted in San Diego at the Old Globe Theater in 1986 and premiered on Broadway on November 5, 1987, where it won several Tony Awards, including best score, best book, and best actress in a musical (Joanna Gleeson), a year dominated by The Phantom of the Opera (1988).

The Scarlet Pimpernel Is a Musical with Music by Frank Wildhorn and Lyrics and Book by Nan Knighton, Based on the Novel of the Same Name by Baroness Orczy
The Scarlet Pimpernel is a musical with music by Frank Wildhorn and lyrics and book by Nan Knighton, based on the novel of the same name by Baroness Orczy. The show is set in England and France during the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution. The story is a precursor to the spy fiction and the superhero genres, where a hero hides under a mild-mannered alias. The Scarlet Pimpernel started as a workshop with Carolee Carmello as Marguerite and directed by Nick Corley, following a concept album. The musical debuted on Broadway at the Minskoff Theatre on October 7, 1997 in previews, officially on November 9, 1997. Directed by Peter H. Hunt, it starred Douglas Sills (Sir Percy Blakeney), Christine Andreas (Marguerite St. Just), and Terrance Mann (Citizen Chauvelin). In June shortly before the Tony Awards were announced, the show was slated to close. The show's fans known as "The League" decided it should have another try. With falling ticket sales, the show ushered in new producers and reopened with Sills and two new leads, Rex Smith and Rachel York and a vastly rearranged production in October 1998 (a year after the previous opening). The show closed at the Minskoff Theatre on May 30, 1999. It had a mini-tour of a scaled-down version in the summer of 1999 with three new leads. The revised version…opened on Broadway at the Neil Simon Theatre on September 7, 1999, closing on January 2, 2000 for a grand total of 772 performances and 39 previews. The cast starred Ron Bohmer, Marc Kudisch and Carolee Carmello.
