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 Riding Hood, Jack and the bean stalk, and , 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 musical has since been produced many times, with a 1988 national tour of the United States, a production in the West End in 1990, a tenth anniversary concert in 1997, a Broadway revival in 2002, a revival in 2010, and a 2012 Shakespeare in the Park series. Disney director Rob Marshall's screen adaptation of Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, James Corden, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, Tracy Ullman, Christine Baranski and Johnny Depp was released in 2014. The film grossed more than $213 million worldwide and received three Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations. Plot Law 1 Narrator introduces four characters: Cinderella, who wants to take part in the King's Festival; Jack, who wishes his cow, the Milky White, would give milk; Baker; and his wife, both of whom want to have a child. Cinderella's stepmother ridicules her desire, while Jack's mother condemns Jack for never listening and how she wants to be rich. Little Red Riding appears in the bakery, wanting bread and sweets to bring to his grandmother's house. They give her a loaf of bread and allow her to take sweets; it ends up taking more than they suggested. Cinderella's stepmother puts a pot of lentils in the fireplace for Cinderella to clean, promising that then, they let her go to the festival. She calls the birds from the sky to help her clear what they are doing. Meanwhile, an ugly old witch appears in the bakery, showing the baker and his wife that they are barren because of the spell she imposed on the baker's father many years ago. She tells them that when the baker's mother was pregnant, she craved vegetables, so his father stole them from the witch's garden. He stole supposedly normal beans, which turned out to be magical. Because she lost the beans, the witch's mother turned her ugly, and in return the witch stole their daughter Rapunzel and cast a spell. She explains that the only way to take off the spell is to find four ingredients in the woods: a cow as white as milk, a cloak as red as blood, hair yellow as corn, and slippers as clean as gold and bring them to it for three days until midnight. She hurries away and Cinderella's stepmother prepares to leave for the festival. Cinderella asks if she can go, but her stepmother points out that although she took the lentils, she is dirty from the ashes. They leave, and even Cinderella's father barely recognizes its existence. Everyone begins a journey : Jack sell his beloved cow; Cinderella to her mother's grave; Little red in his grandmother's house; and Baker, refusing to help his wife to find the ingredients (Prologue). Cinderella receives a dress and gold slippers from the spirit of her mother, wanting her to be able to live in the palace (Cinderella at the grave). A mysterious man mocks Jack for estimating his cow more than a bag of beans. Little Red meets a hungry wolf who persuades her to go down a longer path and admire beauty, with his own thoughts there is both her and her grandmother (Hello Little Girl). Baker, who is secretly followed by his wife, meets Jack. They convince Jack that the beans found in Baker's father's jacket magically place their cow, and Jack says goodbye to milky Milky Way ( think it's goodbye). Baker feels guilty for their deception, but his wife calms him down (maybe they're magic). The witch raised Rapunzel in a tall tower, accessible only for climbing rapunzel's long golden hair (Our Little World); Prince is spying on Rapunzel and plans to meet her. Baker, in pursuit of a red cloak, kills the Wolf and rescues Little Red and her grandmother. In turn, Little Red gives him her cloak, and reflects on her experience (I know things now). Jack's mother throws his beans aside, which grow into a huge stem, and sends him to sleep without food. Cinderella flees the Festival, pursued by another prince, and Baker's wife hides her; asked about the ball, Cinderella was not impressed (Very good prince). Noticing Cinderella's golden slippers, Baker's wife pursues her and loses Milky White.

She cheats Rapunzel and takes a piece of hair. Mysterious Man Returns the Milky White Baker. Baker's wife again can not grab Cinderella's slippers. Baker admits that they have to work together (it takes two). Jack arrives with a chicken that lays golden eggs, but milky white keels over the dead as midnight chimes (Second Midnight). The witch discovers the prince's visits and demands that Rapunzel hide from the world (Stay with me). She refuses, and the witch cuts off Rapunzel's hair and banishes her. Mysterious man gives Baker money for another cow. Jack meets Little Red, currently sporting a wolf skin cloak and knife. He shows off his adventures in the sky and mentions the golden giant's harp. She sceptically goads him in returning to the giant's house to get it. Cinderella, torn between staying with her prince or escaping, leaves him slippers as a clue (on the steps of the palace) and trades shoes with Baker's wife. Baker arrives with another cow; now they have all four points. A big accident is audible, and Jack's mother reports a dead giant in her yard, which no one seems to care about. Jack returns with a magic harp. The witch discovers that the new cow is useless, and resurrects the Milky White, which feeds on ingredients but does not give milk. The Witch explains that Rapunzel's hair will not work, and The Mysterious Man offers corn silk instead; Milky White produces potion. The witch shows the Mysterious Man Baker's father and she drinks - he falls dead, the curse is broken, and the witch regains her youth and beauty. Prince Cinderella is looking for a girl who fits slippers; desperate stepson to cripple my legs (Beware, my feet). Cinderella succeeds and becomes his bride. Rapunzel wears twins and is found by her prince. The witch finds her and tries to return her, but the powers of the witch have disappeared. At Cinderella's wedding, her stepson is blinded by birds, and Baker's wife, very pregnant, thanks Cinderella for her help. Congratulating themselves on a happy life (Ever After), the characters do not notice that there is another bean stalk growing. Act 2 Narrator continues: ... Later. Still have desires: Baker and his wife face new disappointments with their infant son; recently rich Jack misses the kingdom in the sky; Cinderella misses life in the palace (So happy), but still relatively With a huge accident, an accident, foot destroys the witch's garden, and damages Baker's house.

Jack decides to kill the giant and Cinderella explores his mother's broken grave. Everyone returns to the forest, but now the sky is strange, the winds are strong (In the forest of Reprise). Rapunzel, mad, also runs into the woods. Her prince follows and meets his brother; they confess their thirst for two new women, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty (Agony Reprise). Baker, his wife and Little Red find the family of Cinderella and Steward, who show the castle was set on the giant. The witch brings the news that the giant destroyed the village and Baker's house. Giantess - the widow of the murdered giant Jack - appears, seeking revenge. As a victim, the group offers a narrator who is killed. Jack's mother protects her son, angering The Giant, and Steward hushes Jack's mother, inadvertently killing her. As Giantess leaves in search of Jack, Rapunzel is trampled (The Witch of Crying).

Baker turns against Jack, and the two, along with Cinderella and Little Red begin to accuse each other up to a four turn on the witch (Your fault). Punishing her inability to accept the consequences of her actions, the Witch is struck by another curse and disappears (Last Midnight). Suffering from grief, Baker flees but is convinced that his father is a non-dead spirit to face his duties (No more). He returns and lays out a plan to kill the Giant. Cinderella stays with Baker's child and confronts her prince because of his infidelity; he explains his feelings of non-fulfillment and that he was only brought up to be charming but not sincere, and she asks him to leave, which he reluctantly does. Little Red discovers that her grandmother was killed by the Giant, as Baker tells Jack that his mother is dead. Jack vows to kill Steward, but Baker dissuades him, while Cinderella comforts Little Red. Baker and Cinderella explain that the choice has consequences, and all are related (No one is alone). The four together kill the giant, and The characters - including the royal family who starved to death, and princes with their new lovers (Sleeping Beauty and Snow White) - return to share one last set of morals. The survivors unite, and the spirit of Baker's wife comforts her grieving husband, encouraging him to tell his child his story.

The show was nominated for ten Tony Awards, and won three: Best Score (Stephen Sondheim), Best Book (James Lapine) and Best Actress in a Musical (Joanna Gleeson).

In 1989, from 23 to 25 May, the full original cast (with the exception of Cindy Robinson as Snow White instead of Gene Kelly) reunited for three performances to glue together the musical in full for the 10th season premiere episode of the PBS, which first aired on March 15, 1991. The show was filmed professionally with seven cameras on the set of Martin Beck's Theatre in front of an audience with certain elements altered from its standard production only marginally to recording in order to better fit the screen rather than on stage, like lighting, minor minor differences, and others. There were also pick shots not shot in front of the audience for various purposes. This video has since been released on tape and DVD, and sometimes remastered and re-released. The tenth anniversary of the charity performances took place on November 9, 1997 at the in New York, with most of the original cast. Original actors Chuck Wagner and Jeff Blumencrantz played Cinderella's Prince/Wolf and Steward in place of Robert Wenenberg and Philip Hoffman, while Jonathan Dokucic (who joined the Broadway production as an understudy in 1989) played Prince Rapunzel instead of Wagner. The concert was attended by the duo Our Little World, written for the first London staging of the show.

The 10-month tour featured cities across the country such as Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Los Angeles and Atlanta. The tour took place at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts from June 1989 to July 16, 1989, and The Washington Post reviewer wrote, His beautiful score, prepared between melody and dissonance, is the perfect measure of our weakness. Songs invariably follow the patterns of thinking of the characters, weighing their options and digesting their experience. Needless to say, that doesn't make for traditional show traffic jams. But it makes for vivacity of a different kind. And the lyrics of Sondheim' Songhheim... Shiny.... I think you will find these actors alert and engaging. The original London production of The London Cast Recording The Original West End production opened on September 25, 1990 at the Phoenix Theatre and closed on 23 February 1991 after 197 performances. It was directed by Richard Jones, and produced by David Mirvish, with stage design by Richard Hudson, choreographed by Anthony Van Laast, costumes by Sue Blaine and orchestrated by Jonathan Tunick.

The show received seven Olivier Award nominations in 1991, winning For Best Actress in a Musical (Staunton) and Best Director for a Musical (Jones). The song Our Little World was added. This song was a duet sung between the Witch and Rapunzel, giving a further insight into the witch's concern for her self-proclaimed daughter, and Rapunzel's desire to see the world beyond her tower. The overall feel of the show was much darker than the original Broadway production. Critic Michael Billington wrote: But the triumph of the evening also belongs to director Richard Jones, set designer Richard Hudson and costume designer Sue Blaine, who evoke exactly the right mood haunted theatricality. Old-fashioned lanterns give faces an ominous glow. The forests themselves are a semi-circular black-and-silver screen, crossed by nine doors and a crazy clock: they achieve exactly the pleasant terror of children's illustrations by Gustave Dora. And the effects are stunning: the doors open to reveal a rotating enlarged eyeball or admonitori finger of a predatory giant. The 1998 London revival production of The New Intimate Production Show opened (announced as the first London revival) at the on 16 November 1998, closing on 13 February 1999.

A reviewer for The Telegraph, for example, wrote: It's an inspired idea to put this show in the magical, sylvained surroundings of Regent's Park, and designer Sutra Gilmore has come up with a wonderfully rickety, adventure playground set, all the stairs, stairs and elevated tracks, with Rapunzel found high in the tree.

Book and music analysis In most of Into the Woods productions, including the original Broadway production, several parts are doubled. Prince Cinderella and Wolf, who share a characteristic unable to control their appetites, tend to play the same actor. Similarly, the narrator and the mysterious man who share characteristic of commenting on a story while avoiding any personal involvement or responsibility. Cinderella's grandmother and mother, who are both matriarchal characters in the story, also tend to play the same person who also gives voice to the parenting but later murderous wife of the giant. The show covers several topics: growing up, parents and children, accepting responsibility, morality, and finally the desire to fulfill and its consequences. Reviewers of Time magazine wrote that the play is a fundamental understanding... At heart, most tales are about loving yet fighting bond between parents and children. Almost everything that goes wrong, that is, almost everything that can arise from an inexhaustible parental or family debt, despite the best intentions. Stephen Holden wrote that the show's themes include the relationship between parents and children and the individual's responsibility to the community. The witch is not just a gloomy old witch, but a key symbol of moral ambivalence. James Lapin said that the most unpleasant person (the Witch) will have the true things to say, and good people will be less honest. In the witch's words: I'm not good; I'm not cute; I am well. Given the show's debut in the 1980s, at the height of the AIDS crisis in the United States, the work was interpreted as a parable about AIDS. In this interpretation, the giant's wife serves as a metaphor for HIV/AIDS, killing good and bad characters indiscriminately and forcing survivors to unite to stop the threat and move away from destruction, reflecting the destruction for many communities during the AIDS crisis. Responding to a question about the thematic connection, Sondheim acknowledged that the original audience interpreted it as a metaphor for AIDS, but stated that the work was not intended for specific. The score is also notable for Sondheim's output, due to its complex processing and development of small musical motifs. Specifically, the opening words, I want, are set in the growth interval of the main second and this small block is repeated and developed throughout the show, just as Lapine's book explores the consequences of vested interests and desires. The dialogue in the show is characterized by the heavy use of syncopated speech. In many cases, character lines come with a fixed rhythm that follows natural speech rhythms, but also intentionally consists of eighth, sixteenth and quarter music rhythms as part of a conversational song. Like many Sondheim/Lapin productions, the songs contain a narrative of a thought process where characters talk or think out loud. Sondheim drew on parts of his troubled childhood writing the show. In 1987, he told Time magazine that a father who was uncomfortable with babies was his father and a mother who regretted having children.
