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 required to break the spell. They swindle, lie to and steal from Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Jack. Everyone's wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. This lively irreverent musical fantasy from Stephen Sondheim serves as a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.
