Description
Finally back in print after over a decade, the lavishly illustrated book of Into the Woods is one of the most-performed musicals by the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning team of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine.
Based on the Grimm Brothers' most popular folktales, Into the Woods reimagines what can happen when beloved fairytale characters are thrown together in increasingly dramatic and humorous ways. Sondheim and Lapine bring their cherished musical off the stage and onto the page, aided by Hudson Talbott's enchanting illustrations.
Published for Stephen Sondheim's ninetieth birthday, join Cinderella, Jack (of beanstalk-climbing fame), Little Red Riding Hood, the Baker and his Wife, and more on their quest to find "happily ever after." Along the way, they meet Rapunzel, the Big Bad Wolf, terrifying giants, lusty princes, and their own destinies.
But after their journeys are done, the real question remains: what comes after "happily ever after" and will the prices paid for it be worth it in the end?
