The Baker, secretly followed by his Wife, meets Jack. Little Red meets a hungry Wolf who distracts her from her path, hatching a plan to eat both her and her grandmother ("Hello Little Girl"). A Mysterious Man mocks Jack for valuing his cow more than a "sack of beans". When she gets to her mother's grave, Cinderella repeats her wish to attend the festival and the spirit of her mother gifts her with a gown and golden slippers ("Cinderella at the Grave"). All begin their journeys into the woods: Jack to sell his beloved cow Cinderella to seek advice from her mother's grave Little Red to her grandmother's house and the Baker, refusing his Wife's help, to find the ingredients ("Prologue: Into the Woods"). As he is preparing to leave, the Baker finds six magic beans in his father's old jacket. As Cinderella's step-family prepares to leave for the festival, they once again refuse Cinderella's wish to go with them. She explains that the only way to lift the spell is to find four ingredients in the woods: a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn, and a slipper as pure as gold and bring them to her before three days is up. In return, she stole their daughter Rapunzel and cast the spell over their family. When they were taken from the garden, the Witch lost her beauty. As he was leaving, he stole some beans for himself that he did not realize were magic. She explains that he stole vegetables from the Witch's garden to appease his wife's appetite while she was pregnant. Meanwhile, a witch appears at the bakery revealing to the baker and his wife that they are infertile because of a spell she placed on the baker's father many years ago. To help her, she calls for birds in the skies. Cinderella's stepmother dumps a pot of lentils into the fireplace for Cinderella to clean up, promising that only then will they let her go to the festival. Little Red Riding Hood appears at the bakery wishing for bread and sweets to bring to her grandmother's house. Cinderella's step-family mocks her wish and Jack's mother laments that she wishes for wealth. 3.9 Central Park Delacorte Theater production, 2012Ī Narrator introduces four characters: Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's festival Jack who wishes his cow, Milky White, would give milk a Baker and his Wife, both of whom wish to have a child.3.8 Regent's Park Open Air Theatre production, 2010.
