"Into the Woods" is a musical by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine that intertwines several classic fairy tales, like Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel, following their journeys through a magical forest as they strive to achieve their wishes, while confronting the consequences of their actions and exploring the complexities of "happily ever after" with a dark, witty twist; the story primarily centers around a childless baker and his wife who must navigate the woods to break a curse placed on them by a powerful witch in order to have a child.
