Into the Woods (Theatre)	comment	Into the Woods is a 1987 Musical by James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim that weaves together the fairy tales of Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel.In the first act, a baker and his wife who desperately want a child are told by the witch who cursed their family with infertility that she'll lift the spell if they do something for her first. She sends them on a quest that takes them in and out of the other stories, collecting Cinderella's slipper, Jack's cow, Little Red Riding Hood's...riding hood, and some of Rapunzel's hair. There's also a mysterious old man who appears from time to time, trying to help the quest along for reasons of his own. After a certain amount of deception, theft, and murder — you remember how these stories go — everybody gets what they were wishing for at the beginning, and there's a big song-and-dance number about how they will all live happily ever after.Then comes the second act, where everybody has to grow up and face the consequences of their actions.The show is one of Sondheim's most famous, alongside West Side Story, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Company. In the year dominated by The Phantom of the Opera, it was able to snag three Tony Awards, for Best Score, Best Book, and Best Leading Actress (Joanna Gleason as the Baker's Wife). The original Broadway production has since been followed by a notably contentious revival in 2002, as well as numerous productions across the country at everywhere from the regional to the high school drama level. In 2012, a limited-run revival as part of New York's Shakespeare in the Park starred Donna Murphy as the witch — just months after she could be heard playing much the same role in Tangled. Another Broadway revival ran in 2022.Many people are most familiar with the excellent version filmed by PBS under its American Playhouse banner in 1991 and subsequently released on home video; this was based on the original Broadway production and had most of the same cast.Walt Disney Pictures released a film adaptation on Christmas Day, 2014, with Lapine writing the screenplay, and Rob Marshall (Chicago and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) directing an All-Star Cast including Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, Chris Pine as Prince Charming, Meryl Streep as the Witch, Johnny Depp as the Big Bad Wolf and many more.Now has a character sheet.

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_10dcbe05	comment	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Jack's mother is stern, and sometimes portrayed as somewhat abusive. But she panics and looks for him when he is gone and has an awesome Mama Bear moment when the giantess appears. Jack for his part is heartbroken that Jack's Mother forces him to sell Milky-White, but is heartbroken by the news of her death and wants to avenge her death.

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_13eea985	comment	Arbitrary Skepticism: Little Red Riding Hood doesn't believe Jack's really been up the beanstalk or that a hen laid a golden egg despite the world they live in. She similarly responds in disbelief to Cinderella talking to birds despite the fact she talked to a wolf. The Steward and Cinderella's family don't believe the Baker when he reports the Giantess despite a Giant having just been slain a little while ago. Used as a gag when everyone is trying to guess what caused the Witch's garden to be destroyed, listing off Dragons, Giants, Griffins, and Manticores. The Witch disdainfully comments that Manticores aren't real.

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_13f7da6	comment	Cinderella goes to the festival just to have a good time. While the prince is interested in her, she's scared by the world of royalty. She spends a whole song talking about how her life at home isn't cushy but it's familiar and she has a role in it, and she might not belong in a palace where everyone is naturally beautiful and graceful. Deciding that the prince should at least get a chance to prove he wants a clumsy servant girl in that world, she leaves her shoe behind and runs off, exchanging the other heel for the loafers belonging to the Baker's wife. To a lesser extent, she's not immediately ladylike when trying on heels, defying Instant Expert. For most of Act 1, she's wearing sensible flats for cleaning and walking. When wearing golden slippers with a high heel, she's stumbling. It's partly why when the Baker's wife offers her flat loafers for running, she makes the trade.

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The Wolf and Little Red's entire encounter can be seen as a child predator and his victim, including her song about what she learned, "Nice is not Good" indeed. The Giantess' relationship with Jack may be a bit Mrs. Robinson. "And you know, she's big, but you don't feel small" and "She holds you close to her giant breast" after which Jack also echoes LRRH's words that he "knows things now". The part about "Someone bigger than her comes along the hall to swallow you for lunch" is reminiscent of a husband coming home to find his wife with a lover. "Well... perhaps it will take the two of us to get this child."

When the second act rolls around the characters get a little sick of the Narrator and set on him, eventually making him the first death of the second act. The Witch (Bernadette Peters) also talks to one of the audience members when Rapunzel sings for her. The final reprise of "Into The Woods" involves pointing at both fellow cast members and random audience members, while singing the lines "with me, you, her and him", underlining a major theme of the play: that everyone is in this together.

It's not going to be enough. It's not going to be anywhere near enough. Lampshaded by the Baker's Wife when she is being seduced by Cinderella's Prince. She sings, "This is ridiculous, what am I doing here, I'm in the wrong story..." The Narrator suffers from this worse. He thought he was in a classic fairy tale and his job was to tell the story from the safe side of a thick fourth wall.

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_21f3aa44	type	Good Is Not Nice
Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_21f3aa44	comment	Good Is Not Nice: A major theme of the story. The Witch may do some dastardly or despicable things, but for the most part, they're often for the better. The Wolf, on the other hand, represents the exact opposite of this trope, given that he's certainly nice to Little Red, but has intentions that are FAR from good. Both Little Red Riding Hood and the Witch outright state this in "I Know Things Now" ("And though scary is exciting, nice is different than good") and "Last Midnight" ("You're so nice... you're not good, you're not bad, you're just NICE"), respectively. It's part of what makes the Deconstruction of fairy tales so effective: in classic stories, it's the nice characters who are viewed universally as good. But the heroes of Into the Woods do morally questionable things throughout the whole musical, proving that just because someone acts kind doesn't make them a good person. It also proves the opposite point: everyone assumes the Witch is wicked because of her nasty attitude, but in reality, she's probably the most justified in her actions throughout the whole work—she was saddled with a curse of ugliness and age that she knew next to nothing about (all she was told was not to let anything happen to her mother's special beans), loses her magical powers in exchange for recovering her original youth and beauty, has her home and garden destroyed by the Giantess, and ends up watching her adopted daughter Rapunzel die a horrible death. The Witch is also the one to force the heroes to admit that their self-centered wishes and lack of thought regarding those wishes' consequences are to blame for the horrible mess they made of things.

The bean Cinderella throws away in Act I allows the Giantess to climb down from the sky kingdom in Act II. The Baker finds an ear of corn, using it to compare Rapunzel's "silky" locks. In the climax of Act 1, the Old Man tells him to use the corn because it's a viable substitute when Rapunzel's hair fails to produce the desired potion. In the filmed version Jack is seen holding what look like giant glasses in the Act II Prologue. Guess what the giant's main problem is?

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The first act keeps a good chunk of details that were in the various editions of the Brothers Grimm versions. Among them, the three balls, pitch on the stairs, the slippers being gold, pouring stones into the wolf's stomach, the birds pecking out the step sisters eyes, and the cutting off of their feet. They also go for the revised second version of how the Witch finds out about the Prince. However, it does still keep that Rapunzel gets pregnant. In their original publishing, they had kept that she reveals she is pregnant naively. A lot of those are also played hilariously, including the parts you never thought could actually be funny. Notable examples include Cinderella's stepsisters cutting off their toes, Little Red and Granny coming out of the Wolf's stomach, and Rapunzel crying into the prince's eyes. About the only gag that really can't be said was from the Grimm's versions is the sexual metaphor in the Little Red Riding Hood story. The Grimms didn't keep that element. It's been pulled from earlier variations. The show also plays with the fact that Cinderella's slippers are incredibly valuable. Wouldn't they be a little hard to walk in? Yes. According to Cinderella, they're not very good for dancing either. How does the Witch climb up Rapunzel's hair without any trouble and without hurting the girl? She doesn't.

So while it is a fast paced emotional song that could involve a lot of choreography going up and down the stairs, Cinderella cannot dance as her feet are stuck in place. Exactly how sensational or not the song ends up being depends on the production.

When the characters all encounter the Giantess who is looking for the lad Jack who killed her husband, they decide to offer her somebody else as a sacrifice. Unable to figure out what to do, they decide to offer the Narrator. The Narrator reminds them that if he is wiped out, they won't know the outcome of the story. Regardless of this, however, the Witch herself gives the Narrator to the Giant's wife. Seeing that the Narrator isn't Jack, the Giant's wife drops the Narrator and he is killed. The Baker's Wife, apparently concerned about how the story will go along without the Narrator, inevitably points out: "We might have thought of something else." Though a more or less justifiable example would be after the Witch lays a major Reason You Suck Song on Cinderella, Jack, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Baker pointing out what their actions from Act I have gotten them into:

On the other hand, Cinderella's Mother and Granny would like to be more proactive, but are each unable to, for separate reasons.

The Witch is often played like this (particularly by Bernadette Peters), though it depends on the actress.

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_8338de89	comment	"I Want" Song: Really, the first act is one big "I Want" Song. Or "I Wish" Song. Each act begins with "I Wish". The one in Act 2 is more of a Dark Reprise, though as the narrator points out, everyone is happy for now, just wistful. Cinderella sings in "A Very Nice Prince" that "What I want most of all... is to know what I want" and relays a similar sentiment in "On the Steps of the Palace". Indeed, one of her defining character traits is indecisiveness and not knowing if she wants the ball or the prince.

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: Both Milky-White and the hen disappear after the beginning of Act 2. However, both of them might have died when the giantess crushed Jack's house. Milky White is indicated to survive in the 2022 Broadway revival, though likely so the puppeteer can get a curtain call. Rapunzel's twin babies. In some productions, they die with their mother under the foot of the Giant's wife, while in both outdoor productions they're revealed to have withered away from neglect. In case you didn't get that Act II was going to be rough... The 2022 Broadway revival has a more hopeful one where Rapunzel's Prince is indicated to be happily raising the twins after Rapunzel's death. The witch tells the baker offhand that he has a sister that the witch had taken from his parents. The narrator confirms that Rapunzel is indeed his sister. This is never brought up or mentioned, and none of the characters bother with this connection. The Baker at least has an excuse that he's more concerned about breaking the curse. An example in-story during act two: the heroes have to do some quick thinking to remember, "What happened to the last magic bean?" The answer: The Baker's Wife tried to pawn it to Cinderella, who just threw it aside, and the Wife never found it. That allowed that bean to take root and grow into a second beanstalk.

The Giant's wife, while being a major antagonistic force, simply wanted justice for the death of her husband, and the chaos and death that she had caused are often portrayed as accidents (considering that she was near sighted and had lost her glasses). The only character to be truly evil and despicable is the Wolf, and even he's given a hint of sympathetic light ("Ask a wolf's mother!").

The second act shows the fallout of everything that happened to achieve the "happily ever after" of the first act. Despite starting with some very funny scenes, it quickly takes a turn for the worse and character start dropping like flies. There's even a reprise of a very funny song, Agony, a duet for the two Princes talking about wanting unreachable women, which is still hilarious but has a darker undertone because they are now cheating on the wives they spent the first act trying to get.

When the Baker's Wife and Cinderella meet after the latter has run away from the ball on the first night, during He's a Very Nice Prince, the Baker's Wife keeps asking Cinderella about the Prince to the point that she seems more interested in him than Cinderella is.

Additionally, when Cinderella's prince and the Steward meet the Baker's Wife and she lies about Cinderella's whereabouts, Cinderella's Prince can be seen glancing back at the Baker's Wife in many productions.

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_9f6fb586	comment	Leitmotif: A short musical theme, heard when Jack gives the beans to the Baker, finds its way into several of the songs (and comprises Rapunzel's "lighthearted air"), and is the entire basis for the Witch's "Stay With Me". The melody of "the king is giving a festival" becomes a brassy fanfare associated with Cinderella's prince. The notes that Cinderella sings to her bird friends ("birds in the sky...sift through the ashes") are played at the start of Act II when the birds alert her to trouble at her mother's grave, them morph into a charging military fanfare when the birds blind the giant near the end of the play. The rising melody heard in Agony ("sensitive, clever, well-mannered, considerate, passionate, charming...") could be thought of as the "romantic ideal" leitmotif, appearing (1) in the full version of "A Very Nice Prince" when the Baker's Wife asks Cinderella whether the eponymous royal exhibits those qualities ("Is he everything you ever wanted?"), (2) in "Agony" as the Prince extols his own attributes ("You are everything maidens could wish for!"), (3) during "It Takes Two" when the Baker's Wife tells her husband how he has changed for the better in the woods, and (4) during "Agony (Reprise)" when the Princes salute "the tasks un-achievable, mountains un-scalable, if it's conceivable, but unavailable..." Interestingly, appearance (4) is the only one in Act II, during which the Baker's Wife loses much of her romantic idealism (or naivetÃ©), but the Princes do not change their ways or mindset. The notes of Cinderella's wish during the prologue ("shiver and quiver little tree; silver and gold rain down on me") later become the basis of the song "So Happy," which is, of course, all about having wishes fulfilled.

Even worse, the other prince watches Rapunzel die, runs off in fear (or grief, depending upon how he is played) and only shows up again in the finale with Snow White. At least Cinderella's Prince is shown to be conflicted, and is even told by Cinderella that she no longer wants to be his. To Rapunzel's prince's credit, his wife was insane, dying in front of him, and he had two kids to think about. One could argue that the two princes are obsessed with the new, never being happy with what they have, always being disappointed in what they can't have, and thus will never actually have a happy life. The Steward gets away with murder. Jack is actually the biggest one. Even though everyone is guilty in some way for the events of Act 2, Jack is arguably the most responsible. On his first trip up the beanstalk, after being taken care of by the Giantess, he steals her gold when her husband appears and escapes. He later goes back simply to steal more to get his cow back. Then, after being taunted by a girl he had probably never met before in his life, he goes back and steals AGAIN just to prove her wrong. In Act 2, he never really pays for his actions; the only punishment he gets is the indirect death of his mother, and when he learns about this, he wants to kill the man who tried to stop her from pissing the Giant's wife off more, instead of feeling guilt for causing the whole mess in the first place.

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_a91078ea	comment	Adaptational Jerkass: This is actually a plot point with Cinderella. Her original version was good to the point of being an Extreme Doormat. This Cinderella is aware of how her desire to be good means others walk all over her, and she is willing to defend herself as shown when the Baker's Wife tries to take one of her shoes. She then carelessly tosses a magic bean when the Baker's Wife offers it in exchange for one slipper. This has consequences in Act Two.

Cinderella loves being married until she finds out her husband is cheating on her; the Baker and his wife prepare to expand their cottage only for her to die and the Baker worrying he won't be a good enough parent; Jack loses his mother and home, though in some stage versions it turns out his cow survived.

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_afc6df04	comment	What You Are in the Dark: It comes up a few times. The Baker's wife insists on coming to collect the ingredients. She also tells a bald-faced lie (which ends up being an Accidental Truth) that Jack's cow is worth five magic beans. When the Baker points out they scammed a child, she says "the end justifies the beans" because they need the cow to break the witch's curse. It becomes moot later when Jack and his mother become rich due to what he steals from the giant and the witch explains that she actually needs the cow to eat the other ingredients so as to produce the potion. The witch returns Milky White to Jack when the potion is made. The Baker absolutely refuses to steal Red's cloak, and even when he actually takes it, he returns it to her on seeing that she's crying. Cinderella has a chance to stay with her prince when he spreads tar on the palace steps, or she can run home, back to her mundane life of chores. She admits that he must care but doesn't know if she's fit for royal life; instead, she leaves one of her golden slippers as a clue for him to find. Later, she finds out that her prince had a dalliance with the Baker's wife thanks to the Birds, but says that she doesn't care. For one, the woman is dead, and the baker has been hurt enough already. For another, she had a suspicion given he hadn't returned from the woods. In Act Two, Rapunzel's prince — who is conspiring to cheat on her — runs to rescue her from the Giantess's footsteps. He fails. Little Red appears in Act Two to announce she's moving in with her Granny. The Baker doesn't want to tell her that a giant is rampaging through the woods, but he says he's escorting her to her grandmother's so she will arrive safety. His wife insists on coming as well. When the Baker's wife and the Prince have a romantic encounter in the woods, he tells her that "Right and wrong don't matter in the woods. Only feelings." After the deed goes down, she spends the rest of the song wrestling with her conscience before finally rationalizing it.

Then Rapunzel dies, and the Witch considers it a form of justice to deliver him to the Giantess. Rapunzel's prince has been attempting to awaken another princess (Snow White) while looking for her in the woods. When they reunite, however, he is genuinely happy to see her and tries to stop her from running into the Giantess's path. Just because he's unfaithful doesn't mean he wants her dead. He fails and walks away horrified and grieving. The survivors briefly turn on each other when the Baker learns his wife is dead and Cinderella is processing the possibility that her husband is cheating on her. When the witch suggests they hand in Jack, however, everyone gives a Big "NO!". The Witch even seems to respect that, though telling them they're "nice" rather than good. When the Baker overcomes his Heroic BSoD, he agrees that the four of them can come up with a plan that saves Jack and stops the Giantess.

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_c02f148d	comment	Both Sides Have a Point: The witch and Rapunzel's argument when the witch finds out she's invited a prince into her tower. Rapunzel points out several things: she can't be expected to stay in a tower forever when there's a world out there to see, and at least the prince gives her more than one visitor apart from her mother. The witch is a cynic who notes something else: the world isn't a big oyster but full of people, animals, and beings who will want to manipulate and hurt you, and princes are not just fine faces or gentlemen; she says Rapunzel doesn't have to hurry to grow up because she's still a kid. They're both right, though the witch crosses the line by exiling Rapunzel to a desert with little food or water and leaving her even more isolated. Act Two shows the consequences of Rapunzel running off with the prince: he's cheating on her while she's taking care of three twins and can't take care of her mental instability. The witch even laments that she hated being right after the giantess crushes Rapunzel, and in some productions her grandchildren.

On the other hand, she causes exponentially more damage than Jack ever did and is nothing but callous about the casualties she leaves behind.

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_d08595d3	comment	Broken Bird: Little Red makes the mistake of listening to a strange wolf, and the Baker makes her cry by stealing her cape, though he returns it out of guilt. Then she's Eaten Alive and rescued from a wolf's stomach. In her next scene, she's extremely jittery from the trauma, pulling a knife on Jack when he compliments her wolfskin coat. Cinderella goes to the festival just to have a good time. While the prince is interested in her, she's scared by the world of royalty. She spends a whole song talking about how her life at home isn't cushy but it's familiar and she has a role in it, and she might not belong in a palace where everyone is naturally beautiful and graceful. Deciding that the prince should at least get a chance to prove he wants a clumsy servant girl in that world, she leaves her shoe behind and runs off, exchanging the other heel for the loafers belonging to the Baker's wife. To a lesser extent, she's not immediately ladylike when trying on heels, defying Instant Expert. For most of Act 1, she's wearing sensible flats for cleaning and walking. When wearing golden slippers with a high heel, she's stumbling. It's partly why when the Baker's wife offers her flat loafers for running, she makes the trade. This kicks in hard in Act II. A Fourth-Date Marriage does not a successful relationship make, particularly when you've married a Prince Charmless. Having a child doesn't automatically improve your life when you still have Parental Abandonment issues to deal with. Spending fourteen years locked in a tower with almost no one to talk to, and then wandering pregnant in the wilderness, does nothing for your mental health...and if you kill a Giantess's husband, she's not just going to forgive and forget...

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_dae5c997	comment	Action Girl: Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella. While Act 1 isn't very action-oriented, they both (along with male counterparts Jack and The Baker) Took a Level in Badass in Act 2, with Cinderella venturing into the woods on her own and dumping her "Prince Charming" (who actually turned out to be a douche), and Little Red Riding Hood replacing her red hood with a fur coat, receiving a knife for self-defense, and becoming a Deadpan Snarking, Axe-Crazy Girl with Psycho Weapon threatening to gut any potential attackers. Both ladies are among the only four survivors of the show (five if you count the Baker's infant son) and actively participate in defeating the Big Bad. The Baker's Wife displays a take-charge attitude when searching the woods for the four items she needs and also when hunting the giant. Unfortunately, she lets herself be seduced by Cinderella's Prince despite being a married woman, and then gets killed by the giant. Jack's Mother earns Action Mom points for standing up to the giant's wife in Act 2. It doesn't end well for her, however.

At the same time, he makes comments about wanting to eat both of them.

Cinderella's family flees to go hide (and possibly die of starvation), Rapunzel is killed by the giantess, her Prince leaves soon after for Snow White, Jack's mother is killed by the Steward, the Baker's Wife is also killed by the giantess, the Witch leaves the group, and Cinderella's Prince leaves her as well. By the end, only the Baker, Cinderella, Jack, and Little Red are left as the main cast.

Into the Woods (Theatre) / int_f12d9d83	comment	Promotion to Parent: In Act II, Cinderella and the Baker have to move on from young adults who still rely on the ideals of their (absent) parents, to being mentors to Little Red and Jack, respectively. Played for laughs when Jack asks who will take care of him now that his mother is dead, and Little Red chimes in with "I'll be your mother now". Made even better by the fact that, in many productions, Red is clearly younger than Jack, by at least a couple years.

Also, during "Your Fault", one of Jack's lines is "what's queer, is how did the second giant get down here?" Both are obviously using queer as a synonym for 'strange'. A lesser known one in the Witch's rap. She describes the Baker's father stealing her vegetables as "robbing me, raping me". Another definition of 'rape' is to cause destruction of a place - and she's using the word in that context.

The Giantess says she'll leave the woods alone if they give her Jack to answer for his actions. When the cast tries to trick her, she goes on a rampage. In the 2002 revival, the Witch considers taking the Baker's son since his wife died, her Rapunzel died, and she wants a Replacement Goldfish. She can't do it, however, and returns the baby before committing suicide.
