"Into The Woods" Musical Theater Full Performance! 4K

Our story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse.

Act I

The Narrator leads the company as we learn about a series of wishes that are more important than anything to these characters. Cinderella wants to go to the King's Festival; Jack wishes his cow could give milk; and the Baker wishes that he and his Wife could have a child.

The Baker and his Wife learn that the Witch next door, has placed a curse on them to prevent their having a child. She explains that the Baker's father had stolen various vegetables from her garden many years ago to satisfy his wife's insatiable desire for greens. He also stole the Witch's magic beans. To punish him for the theft, she demanded the Baker's sister, She claims that she still has the Baker's sister hidden away, and that he can break the spell that makes him childless only by bringing her a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn and a slipper as pure as gold.

The Baker puts on his father's old jacket as he prepares to journey into the woods. He finds six beans in the pockets and wonders if they are the Witch's magic beans. He forbids his Wife to join him on this dangerous quest as he tries to memorize the list of things the Witch says he must deliver. As "The Prologue" ends, Cinderella decides to visit her mother's grave.

At this point, the show takes on a rapid pace...

Act II

As in the opening of Act I, we discover three structures. The first is the castle where Cinderella lives with the Prince; the second is Jack's house, which is filled with all the conveniences that gold will buy; the third is the home of the Baker and his Wife, which is cluttered with nursery items.

While the characters seem content, minor disturbances are quietly disrupting the joyous scene. The Baker's Wife wants a bigger cottage and she is squabbling with her husband over the baby's care. Suddenly, a huge crash is heard and their home caves in.

Suddenly, the Giant appears, and the group realizes that it is the wife of the giant that Jack killed. She has come to exact revenge and demands that Jack be handed over to her.

The group disagrees about turning Jack over to the Giant. The Royal Family, without concern for anyone else, runs to another kingdom. The Baker and his Wife leave their child with Little Red Ridinghood and go off to save Jack from the Witch, who is on her way to turn him over to the Giant.

As the Baker, Jack, Little Red Ridinghood and Cinderella plan their attack, a flock of birds whispers to Cinderella that her prince has been unfaithful. She says that she doesn't care and enlists their help to kill the Giant.

The Giant is killed, and the dead in the community appear as ghosts, joining in a pronouncement of the moral lessons learned from the experience in the woods. The final reprise reminds us that there will be times when each of us must journey into the woods, but that we must mind the future and the past.
