Loading...

[narrator, spoken]
once upon a time—
—later—

[cinderella]
i wish…

[narrator]
—in that same far+off kingdom—

[cinderella]
more than anything…
[narrator]
—lived a young princess—

[cinderella]
more than life…

[narrator]
—the lad jack—

[cinderella]
more than footmen…

[jack]
i wish…

[narrator]
—and the baker with his family—

[baby]
waah!

[jack]
no, i miss…

[cinderella & baker]: i wish…
[baby]
waah!

[jack]
more than anything…

[cinderella, baker & jack]
more than the moon…

[baker’s wife, spoken]
there, there…

[cinderella]
i wish to sponsor a festival

[baby]
waah!

[baker]
more than life…

[jack]
i miss…

[cinderella]
the time has come for a festival…
[baby]
waah!

[baker’s wife]
shh…

[baker]
more than riches…

[cinderella]
and a ball…

[jack]
i miss my kingdom up in the sky

[cinderella & baker]
more than anything…

[baker’s wife]
i wish we had more room…

[jack]
play, harp…

[baker]
another room…

[narrator, spoken]
but despite some minor inconveniences, they wеre all content…

[cinderella]
i nevеr thought i’d wed a prince…

[cinderella’s prince]
i never thought i’d find perfection…

[cinderella & cinderella’s prince]
i never thought i could be so happy!

[cinderella]
not an unhappy moment since…

[jack & jack’s mother]
i didn’t think we’d be this rich…

[cinderella’s prince]
not a conceivable objection…

[baker & baker’s wife]
i never thought we’d have a baby…

[cinderella, cinderella’s prince, jack, & jack’s mother]
i never thought i could be so happy!

[baker & baker’s wife, overlapping]
i’m so happy!

[stepmother]
happy now
happy hence
happy ever after—

[stepmother, florinda, & lucinda]
we’re so happy you’re so happy!
just as long as you stay happy
we’ll stay happy!

[cinderella & cinderella’s prince]
not one row…

[jack’s mother]
pots of pence…

[jack]
with my cow…

[baker & baker’s wife]
little gurgles…

[cinderella’s prince]
darling, i must go now…

[jack’s mother]
we should really sell it

[baker]
where’s the cheesecloth?

[all except baker]
wishes may bring problems
such that you regret them

[all]
better that, though
than to never get them…

[cinderella]
i’m going to be a perfect wife!

[jack]
i’m going to be a perfect son!

[baker’s wife & jack’s mother]
i’m going to be a perfect mother!

[baker]
i’m going to be a perfect father!
i’m so happy!

[cinderella, baker’s wife, jack, & jack’s mother, overlapping]
i’m going to see that he (she)
is so happy!

[all]
i never thought i’d love my life!
i would have settled for another!

[cinderella]
then to become a wife…

[jack, & jack’s mother]
then to be set for life…

[baker & baker’s wife]
then to beget a child…

[all]
that fortune smiled…
i’m so happy!

[baker’s wife, spoken]
if only this cottage were a little larger

[baker, spoken]
i will expand our quarters in due time

[baker’s wife, spoken]
why would we expand when we can simply move to another cottage?

[baker, spoken]
we will not move. this was my father’s house, now it will be my son’s

[baker’s wife, spoken]
you would raise your child alongside a witch?

[baker, spoken]
why does he always cry when i hold him?

[baker’s wife, spoken]
babies cry. he’s fine. you needn’t hold him as if he were so fragile

[baker, spoken]
he wants his mother. here

[baker’s wife, spoken]
i can’t take care of him all of the time!

[baker, spoken]
i’ll care for him when he’s older

[baker, baker’s wife, jack, & jack’s mother]
we had to go through thick and thin

[stepmother, lucinda, & florinda]
we had to lose a lot to win

[cinderella]
i ventured out and saw within

[all]
i never thought
i’d be so much i hadn’t been!
i’m so happy…

[baker’s wife, spoken]
oh, my goodness

[baker, spoken]
are you all right?

[baker’s wife, spoken]
i think so

[baker, spoken]
and the baby?

[baker’s wife, spoken]
yes, he’s fine. are you all right?

[baker, spoken]
you! have you done this to our house?

[witch, spoken]
always thinking of yourself! look at my garden

[baker’s wife, spoken]
what of your garden?

[witch, spoken]
look!

[baker, spoken]
destroyed

[baker’s wife, spoken]
what has happened?

[witch, spoken]
i was thrown to the ground. i saw nothing

[baker’s wife, spoken]
what could do such a thing?

[baker, spoken]
an earthquake

[witch, spoken]
no earthquake! my garden has been trampled. those are footprints!

[baker’s wife, spoken]
who could do such a thing?

[witch, spoken]
anything that leaves a footprint that large is no “who.”

[baker, spoken]
do you think it was a bear?

[witch, spoken]
a bear? bears are sweet
besides, you ever see a bear with forty+foot feet?

[baker’s wife, spoken]
a dragon?

[witch, spoken]
no scorch marks—
usually they’re linked

[baker, spoken]
manticore?

[witch, spoken]
imaginary

[baker’s wife & baker, spoken]
griffin?

[witch, spoken]
extinct

[baker, spoken]
giant?

[witch]
possible
very, very possible…

[narrator, spoken]
more than possible. their fears would prove to be well+founded

[baker]
into the woods
it’s always when
you think at last
you’re through, and then
into the woods you go again
to take another journey

[baker’s wife]
into the woods
the weather’s clear
we’ve been before
we’ve naught to fear…
into the woods, away from here—

[jack]
into the woods, to find a giant—!

[little red ridinghood]
into the woods to grandmother’s house…

[baker]
into the woods
the path is straight
no reason then
to hesitate—

[baker’s wife]
into the woods
it’s not so late
it’s just another journey…

[cinderella]
into the woods
but not too long:
the skies are strange
the winds are strong
into the woods to see what’s wrong…

[jack]
into the woods to slay the giant!

[jack, baker, cinderella, baker’s wife, & little red ridinghood]
into the woods

[baker’s wife]
to shield the child…

[little red ridinghood]
to flee the winds…

[baker]
to find a future…

[baker’s wife]
to shield…

[jack]
to slay…

[little red ridinghood]
to flee…

[baker’s wife]
to find…

[cinderella]
to fix…

[baker’s wife]
to hide…

[little red ridinghood]
to move…

[jack]
to battle…

[cinderella]
to see what the trouble is…
