*THIS IS A CD RECORDING* Conceived by Sondheim and James Lapine following their Pulitzer Prize-winning "Sunday in the Park with George," INTO THE WOODS takes various Grimm brothers fairy tale characters, intertwines their stories, and adds an original tale of a baker and his wife who long for a child, cursed by the witch next door. Once their problems are resolved, the story goes on to explore what happens after "happily ever after." A compendium of life lessons in the tradition of the best allegories, its central message - delivered with the edgy humor that is the composer's trademark - is "be careful what you wish for."
