James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim have masterfully woven together beloved storybook characters in a timeless yet relevant creation, a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are not only enchanting but also deeply touching.

The narrative unfolds with a Baker and his wife, their fervent wish for a child, Cinderella yearning to attend the King's Festival, and Jack, who hopes for his cow to produce milk. However, when the Baker and his wife discover that they cannot have a child due to a Witch's curse, their journey to break the curse begins. As each character's wishes are granted, the consequences of their actions return to haunt them, leading to disastrous results.
