An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Ridinghood? A Prince Charming with a
roving eye? A Witch...who raps? They're all among the cockeyed characters in James Lapine
and Stephen Sondheim's fractured fairy tale. 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, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella,
Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). 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. What begins a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of "The
Princess Bride" becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we
tell our children. The Syracuse New Times is producing this musical in collaboration with
Not Another Theater Company.
