[NARRATOR]
Once upon a time
[CINDERELLA]
I wish...
[NARRATOR]
In a far-off kingdom
[CINDERELLA]
More than anything...
[NARRATOR]
Lived a fair maiden,
[CINDERELLA]
More than jewels...
[NARRATOR]
A sad young lad
[JACK]
I wish...
[NARRATOR]
And a childless baker
[JACK]
More than life...
[CINDERELLA & BAKER]
I wish...
[NARRATOR]
With his wife.
[JACK]
More than anything...
[CINDERELLA, BAKER & JACK]
More than the moon...
[BAKER'S WIFE]
I wish...
[CINDERELLA]
The King is giving a Festival.
[BAKER & WIFE]
More than life...
[JACK]
I wish...
[CINDERELLA]
I wish to go to the Festival.
[BAKER & WIFE]
More than riches...
[JACK]
I wish my cow would
Give us some milk.
[BAKER'S WIFE]
More than anything...
[CINDERELLA]
And the Ball...
[JACK]
Please, pal-
[BAKER]
I wish we had a child.
[BAKER'S WIFE]
I want a child...
[CINDERELLA]
I wish to go to the Festival.
[JACK]
Squeeze, pal...
[JACK]
I wish you'd give us some
Milk or even cheese...
I wish...
[BAKER & WIFE]
I wish we might have a child.
I wish...
[CINDERELLA]
I wish...
[STEPMOTHER]
You wish to go to the Festival?
[NARRATOR]
The poor girl's mother had died,
[STEPMOTHER]
You, Cinderella, the Festival?
You wish to go to the Festival?
[FLORINDA]
What, you, Cinderella, the Festival?
The Festival?!
[LUCINDA]
What, you wish to go to the Festival?
[ALL THREE]
The Festival?
The King's Festival?
[NARRATOR]
And her father had taken for his new wife
[STEPMOTHER]
The Festival...
[NARRATOR]
A woman with two daughters of her own.
[FLORINDA]
Look at you nails!
[LUCINDA]
Look at your dress!
[STEPMOTHER]
People would laugh at you-
[CINDERELLA]
Nevertheless,
I still want to go to the Festival
And dance before the Prince.
[STEPMOTHER & STEPSISTERS]
She still wants to go to the Festival
And dance before the Prince?!
[NARRATOR]
All three were beautiful of face, but vile and balck of heart.
Jack, on the other hand, had no father, and his mother-
[JACK'S MOTHER]
I wish...
[NARRATOR]
Well, she was not quite beautiful-
[JACK'S MOTHER]
I wish my son were not a fool.
I wish my house was not a mess.
I wish the cow was full of milk.
I wish the house was full of gold-
I wish a lot of things...
[BAKER'S WIFE]
Why, come in, little girl.
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
I wish...
It's not for me,
It's for my Granny in the woods.
A loaf of bread, please-
To bring my poor old hungry
Granny in the woods...
Just a loaf of bread, please...
[NARRATOR]
Cinderella's Stepmother had a surprise for her.
[STEPMOTHER]
I have emptied a pot of lentils into the ashes for you.
If you have picked them out again in two hours' time,
You shall go to the ball with us.
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
And perhaps a sticky bun?...
Or four?...
[CINDERELLA]
Birds in the sky,
Birds in the eaves,
I the leaves,
In the fields,
In the castles and ponds...
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
And a few of those pies... please...
[CINDERELLA]
Come, little birds,
Down from the eaves
And the leaves,
Over fields,
Out of castles and ponds...
[JACK]
No, squeeze, pal...
[CINDERELLA]
Ahhh...
Quick, little birds,
Flick through the ashes.
Pick and peck, but swiftly,
Sift through the ashes,
Into the pot...
[JACK'S MOTHER]
Listen well, son. Milky-White must be taken to market.
[JACK]
But, mother, no- he's the best cow-
[JACK'S MOTHER]
Look at her.
There are bugs on her dugs.
There are flies in her eyes.
There's a lump on her rump
Big enough to be a hump-
[JACK]
But-
[JACK'S MOTHER]
Son,
We've no time to sit and dither,
While her wither's wither with her-
And no one keeps a cow for a friend!
Sometimes I fear your touched.
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Into the woods,
It's time to go,
I hate to leave,
I have to, though.
Into the woods-
It's time, and so
I must begin my journey.
Into the woods
And through the trees
To where I am
Expected ma'am,
Into the woods
To Grandmother's house-
Into the woods
To Grandmother's house-
[BAKER'S WIFE]
You're certain of your way?
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
The way is clear,
The light is good,
I have no fear,
Nor no one should.
The woods are just trees,
The trees are just wood.
I sort of hate to ask it,
But do you have a basket?
Into the woods
And down the dell,
The path is straight,
I know it well.
Into the woods,
And who can tell
What's waiting on the journey?
Into the woods
To bring some bread
To Granny who
Is sick in bed.
Never can tell
What lies ahead.
For all that I know,
She's already dead.
But into the woods,
Into the woods,
Into the woods
To Grandmother's house
And home before dark.
[CINDERELLA]
Fly, birds,
Back to the sky,
Back to the eaves
And the leaves
And the fields
And the-
[FLORINDA]
Hurry up and do my hair, Cinderella!
Are you really wearing that?
[LUCINDA]
Here, I found a little tear, Cinderella.
Can't you hide it with a hat?
[CINDERELLA]
You look beautiful.
[FLORINDA]
I know.
[LUCINDA]
She means me.
[FLORINDA]
Put ut in a twist.
[LUCINDA]
Who will be there?...
[CINDERELLA]
Mother said be good,
Father siad be nice,
That was always their advice.
So be nice, Cinderella,
Good, Cinderella,
Nice good good nice-
[FLORINDA]
Tighter!
[CINDERELLA]
What's the good of being good
If everyone is blind
And you're always left behind?
Never mind, Cinderella,
Kind Cinderella-
Nice good nice kind good nice-
[FLORINDA]
Not that tight!
[CINDERELLA]
Sorry.
[FLORINDA]
Clod.
[BAKER'S WIFE]
Who minght that be?
[BAKER]
It's the witch from next door.
[NARRATOR]
The old enchantress told the couple she had
Placed a spell on their house.
[BAKER]
What spell?
[WITCH]
In the past, when your mother was with child, she developed
An unusual appetite. SHe took one look at my beautiful garden
And told your father that what she wanted more than
Anything in the world was
Greens, greens and nothing but greens:
Parsley, peppers, cabbages and celery,
Asparagus and watercress and
Fiddleferns and lettuce-!
He said, "All right,"
But it wasn't, quite,
'Cause I caught him in the autumn
In my garden one night!
He was robbing me,
Raping me,
Rooting through my rutabaga,
Raiding my arugula and
Ripping up my rampion
(My champion! My favorite!)-
I should have laid a spell on him
Right there,
Could have changed him into stone
Or a dog or a chair...
But I let him have the rampion-
I'd lots to spare.
In return, however,
I said, "Fair is fair:
You can let me have the baby
That your wife will bear.
And we'll call it square."
[BAKER]
I had a brother?
[WITCH]
No. But you had a sisiter.
[NARRATOR]
But the witch refused to tell him anymore of his sister.
Not even that her name was Rapunzel.
[WITCH]
I though I had been more than reasonable.
But how was I to know what your father
Had also hidden in his pocket?!
[BAKER]
What?
[WITCH]
Beans.
[BAKER & WIFE]
Beans?
[WITCH]
The special beans.
I let him go,
I didn't know
He'd stolen my beans!
I was watching him crawl,
Back over the wall-!
Then bang! Crash!
And the lightning flash!
And- well, that's another story,
Never mind-
Anyway, at last
The big day came,
And I made my claim.
"Oh, don't take away the baby,"
They shrieked and screeched,
But I did,
And I hid her
Where she'll never be reached.
And your father cried,
And your mother died
When for extra measure-
I admit it was a pleasure-
I said, "Sorry,
I'm still not mollified."
And I laid little spell on them-
You, too, son-
That your family tree
Would always be a barren one...
So there's no more fuss
And there's no more scenes
And my garden thrives-
You should see my nectarines!
But I'm tellling you the same
I tell kings and queens:
Don't ever never ever
Mess around with my greens!
Especially the beans.
[JACK'S MOTHER]
Now closely to me, Jack. Lead Milky-White to market and
Fetch the best price you can. Are you listening to me?
Jack Jack Jack,
Head in a sack,
The house is getting colder,
This is not the time for dreaming.
Chimney stack
Starting to crack,
The mice are getting bolder,
The floor's gone slack,
Your mother's getting older,
Your father's not back,
And you can't just sit here dreaming pretty dreams.
To wish and wait
From day to day
Will never keep
The wolves away.
So into the woods
The time is now.
We have to live,
I don't care how.
Into the woods
To sell the cow,
You must begin the journey.
Straight to the woods
And don't delay-
You have to face
The marketplace.
Into the woods to journey's end-
[JACK]
Into the woods to sell a friend-
[NARRATOR]
Meanwhile, the Witch, for purposes of her own,
Explained how the Baker might lift the spell;
[WITCH]
You wish to have
The curse reversed?
I'll need a certain
Potion first.
Go to the woods and bring me back
One: the cow as white as milk,
Two: the cape as red as blood,
Three: the hair as yellow as corn,
Four: the slipper as pure as gold.
Bring me these
Before the chime
Of midnight,
In three day's time,
And you shall have,
I guarantee,
A child as perfect
As child can be.
Go to the wood!
[STEPMOTHER]
Ladies.
Our carriage waits.
[CINDERELLA]
Now may I go to the Festival?
[STEPMPTHER]
The Festival-!
Darling, those nails!
Darling, those clothes!
Lentils are one thing but
Darling, with those,
You'd make us the fools of the Festival
And mortify the Prince!
[CINDERELLA'S FATHER]
Our carriage is waiting.
[STEPMOTHER]
We must be gone.
[CINDERELLA]
Good night, Father.
I wish...
[BAKER]
Look what I found in father's hunting jacket.
[BAKER'S WIFE]
Six beans. We'll take them with us.
[BAKER]
No!
The spell is on my house.
Only I can lift the spell,
The spell is on my house.
[BAKER'S WIFE]
No, no, the spell is on our house.
We must lift the spel.
[BAKER]
No. You are not to come and that is final.
Now what am I to return with?
[BAKER'S WIFE]
You don't remember?
The cow as white as milk,
The cape as red as blood,
The hair as yellow as corn,
The slipper as pure as gold-
[BAKER]
The cow as white as milk,
The cape as red as blood,
The hair as yellow as corn,
The slipper as pure as gold...
[NARRATOR]
And so the Baker, reluctantly, set off to meet the
Enchantress' demands.
As for Cinderella:
[CINDERELLA]
I still wish to go to the Festival,
But how am I ever to get to the Festival?
[BAKER]
The cow as white as milk,
The cape as red as blood,
The hair as yellow as corn-
[CINDERELLA]
I know!
I'll visit Mother's grave,
The grave at the hazel tree,
And tell her I just want to
Go to the King's Festival...
[BAKER]
The slipper as pure as gold...
The cow, the cape,
The slipper as pure as gold-
[BAKER'S WIFE]
The hair-!
[CINDERELLA & BAKER]
Into the woods,
It's time to go,
It may be all
In vain, you/I know.
Into the woods-
But even so,
I have to take the journey.
[CINDERELLA, BAKER & WIFE]
Into the woods,
The path is straight,
You know it well,
But who can tell-
[BAKER & WIFE]
Into the woods to lift the spell-
[CINDERELLA]
Into the woods to visit Mother-
[BAKER'S WIFE]
Into the woods to fetch the things-
[BAKER]
To make the potion-
[CINDERELLA]
To got to the Festival-
[CINDERELLA, JACK, JACK'S MOTHER, BAKER, WIFE]
Into the woods
Without regret,
The choice is made,
The task is set.
Into the woods,
But not forget-
Ting why I'm on the journey.
(Little Red Riding hood Joins)
Into the woods
To get my wish,
I don't care how,
The time is now.
[JACK'S MOTHER]
Into the woods to sell the cow-
[JACK]
Into the woods to get the money-
[BAKER'S WIFE]
Into the woods to lift the spell-
[BAKER]
To make the potion-
[CINDERELLA]
To go to the Festival-
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Into the woods to Grandmother's house...
Into the woods to Grandmother's house...
[ALL]
The way is clear,
The light is good,
I have no fear,
No no one should.
The woods are just trees,
The trees are just wood.
No need to be afraid there-
[CINDERELLA & BAKER]
There's something in the glade there...
[ALL]
Into the woods,
Without delay,
But careful no
To lose the way.
Into the woods,
Who knows what may
Be lurking on the journey?
Into the woods
To get the thing
That makes it worth
The lourneying.
Into the owwds-
[STEMOTHER & STEPSISTERS]
To see the King-
[JACK & MOTHER]
To sell the cow-
[BAKER & WIFE]
To make the potion-
[ALL]
To see-
To sell-
To get-
To bring-
To make-
To lift-
To go to the Festival-!
Into the woods!
Into the woods!
Into the woods,
Then out of the woods,
And home before dark!

Cinderella at the Grave
by Joanna Riding
[NARRATOR]
Cinderella had planted a branch at the grave of her Mother,
And many tear had watered it until it had become
A handsome tree.
[CINDERELLA]
I've been good and I've been kind, Mother,
Doing only what I learned from you.
Why then am I left behind, Mother,
Is there something more that I should do?
What is wrong with me, Mother?
Something must be wrong.
I wish-
[CINDERELLA'S MOTHER]
Do you know what you wish?
Are you certain what you wish
Is what you want?
If you know what you want,
Then make a wish.
Ask the tree,
And you shall have your wish.
[CINDERELLA]
Shiver and quiver, little tree,
Silver and gold throw down on me.
I'm off to get my wish...
Cinderella had planted a branch at the grave of her Mother,

Hello, Little Girl
by Johnny Depp
[WOLF]
Good day, young lady.
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Good day, Mr. Wolf.
[WOLF]
Mmmh...
Unhh...
Look at that flesh,
Pink and plump.
Hello, little girl...
Tender and fresh,
Not one lump.
Hello, little girl...
This one's especially lush,
Delicious...
Mmmh...
Hello, little girl,
What's your rush?
You're missing all the flowers.
The sun won't set for hours,
Take your time.
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Mother said,
"Straight ahead,"
Not to delay or be misled.
[WOLF]
But slow, little girl,
Hark and hush-
The birds are singing sweetly.
You'll miss the birds completely,
You're traveling so fleetly.
Grandmother first,
Then Miss Plump...
What a delectable couple:
Utter perfection-
One brittle, one supple-
One moment, my dear-!
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Mother said,
"Come what may,
Follow the path
And never stray."
[WOLF]
Just so, little girl-
Any path.
So many worth exploring.
Just one would be so boring.
And look what you're ignoring...
Think of those crisp,
Aging bones,
Then something fresh on the palate,
Think of that scrumptious carnality
Twice in one day-!
There's no possible way
To describe what you feel
When you're talking to your meal.
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Mother said
Not to stray.
Still I suppose,
A small delay...
Granny might like
A fresh bouquet...
Goodbye, Mr. Wolf.
[WOLF]
Goodbye, little girl.
And hello...
Good day, young lady.
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Good day, Mr. Wolf.
[WOLF]
Mmmh...

I Know Things Now
by Lilla Crawford
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Mother daid,
"Straight ahead,"
Not to delay
Or be misled.
I should have heeded
Her advice...
But he seemed so nice.
And he showed me things
Many beautiful things,
That I hadn't thought to explore.
They were off my path,
So I never had dared.
I had been so careful,
I never had cared.
And he made me feel excited-
Well, excited and scared.
When he said, "Come in!"
With that sickening grin,
How could I know what was in store?
Once his teeth were bared,
Though, I really got scared-
Well, excited and scared-
But he drew me close
And he swallowed me down,
Down a dark slimy path
Where lie secrets that I never want to know,
And when everything familiar
Seemed to disappear forever,
At the end of the path
Was Granny once again.
So we wait in the dark
Until someone sets us free,
And we're brought into the light,
And we're back at the start.
And I know things now,
Many valuable things,
That I hadn't known before:
Do not put your faith
In a cape and a hood,
They will not protect you
The way that they should.
And take extra care with starngers,
Even flowers have their dangers.
And though scary is exciting,
Nice is different than good.
Now I know:
Don't be scared.
Granny is right,
Just be prepared.
Isn't it nice to know a lot!
And a little bit not...

A Very Nice Prince
by Anna Kendrick
[ Featuring Metro Voices, Emily Blunt ]
CINDERELLA
He's a very nice Prince.
BAKER'S WIFE
And-?
CINDERELLA
And-
It's a very nice ball.
BAKER'S WIFE
And-?
CINDERELLA
And-
When I entered they trumpeted.
BAKER'S WIFE
And-?
The Prince-?
CINDERELLA
Oh, the Prince...
BAKER'S WIFE
Yes, the Prince!
CINDERELLA
Well, he's tall.
BAKER'S WIFE
Is that all?
Did you dance?
Is he charming? They say that he's charming.
CINDERELLA
We did nothing but dance.
BAKER'S WIFE
Yes-? And-?
CINDERELLA
And it made a nice change.
BAKER'S WIFE
No, the Prince!
CINDERELLA
Oh, the Prince...
BAKER'S WIFE
Yes, the Prince.
CINDERELLA
He has charm for a Prince, I guess...
BAKER'S WIFE
Guess?
CINDERELLA
I don't meet a wide range.
And it's all very strange.
BAKER'S WIFE
Why would you run away?
CINDERELLA
It's not quite what I expected.
BAKER'S WIFE
What, princes, and castles, and gowns?
CINDERELLA
I have no experience with those things.
BAKER'S WIFE
But you will return to the festival tomorrow eve?
CINDERELLA
Yes!
No.
I don't know.
BAKER'S WIFE
You don't know?
Oh I wouldn't give to be in your shoes.
Well, your slippers.
As pure as gold.
CINDERELLA
I must get home
BAKER'S WIFE
No, no wait.
I need your shoes.
Milky White.
THE WITCH
One midnight gone.
BAKER'S WIFE
Already?
THE WITCH
Get that cow

Giants in the Sky
by Daniel Huttlestone
There are giants in the sky,
There are big tall terrible giants in the sky.
When you're way up high and you look below
At the world you left and the things you know
A little more than a glance is enough to show you just how small you are
When you're way up high and you're on your own
In a world like nothing you've ever known
Where the sky is lead and the earth is stone
You're free to do whatever pleases you.
Exploring things you'd never dare 'cause you don't care then suddenly there's a
Big tall terrible giant
At the door.
A big tall terrible lady giant
Sweeping the floor.
And she gives you food and she gives you rest
And she draws you close to her giant breast.
And you know things now that you never knew before.
Not 'til the sky
Only just when you've made a friend all
And you know she's big but you don't feel small
Someone bigger than her comes along the hall
To swallow you for lunch
And your heart is lead and your stomach stone
And you're really scared of being all alone
And it's then you miss all the things you've known
And the world you left and the thing you own
The fun is done
You steal what you can and run
And you scramble down and you look below
And the world you know begins to grow
The roof, the house and your mother at the door
The roof, the house and a world you never thought to explore
And you think of all of the things you've seen
And you wish that you could live in between.
And you're back again only different than before
After the sky.
There are giants in the sky.
There are big, tall, terrible, awesome, scary, wonderful giants in the sky.
There are big tall terrible giants in the sky.
When you're way up high and you look below
At the world you left and the things you know
A little more than a glance is enough to show you just how small you are
When you're way up high and you're on your own
In a world like nothing you've ever known
Where the sky is lead and the earth is stone
You're free to do whatever pleases you.
Exploring things you'd never dare 'cause you don't care then suddenly there's a
Big tall terrible giant
At the door.
A big tall terrible lady giant
Sweeping the floor.
And she gives you food and she gives you rest
And she draws you close to her giant breast.
And you know things now that you never knew before.
Not 'til the sky
Only just when you've made a friend all
And you know she's big but you don't feel small
Someone bigger than her comes along the hall
To swallow you for lunch
And your heart is lead and your stomach stone
And you're really scared of being all alone
And it's then you miss all the things you've known
And the world you left and the thing you own
The fun is done
You steal what you can and run
And you scramble down and you look below
And the world you know begins to grow
The roof, the house and your mother at the door
The roof, the house and a world you never thought to explore
And you think of all of the things you've seen
And you wish that you could live in between.
And you're back again only different than before

Agony
by Chris Pine
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Did I abuse her
Or show her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I should lose her,
How shall I regain
The heart she has won from me?
Agony!
Beyond power of speech,
When the one thing you want
Is the only thing out of your reach.
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
High in her tower,
She sits by the hour,
Maintaining her hair.
Blithe and becoming and frequently humming
A lighthearted air:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-
Agony!
Far more painful than yours,
When you know she would go with you
If there only were doors.
[BOTH]
Agony!
Oh, the torture they teach!
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
What's as intriguing-
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Or half so fatiguing-
[BOTH]
As what's out of reach?
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Am I not sensitive,
Clever,
Well-mannered,
Considerate,
Passionate,
Charming,
As kind as I'm handsome
And heir to a throne?
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
You are everything maidens could wish for!
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Then why no-?
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Do I know?
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
The girl must be mad!
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
You know nothing of madness
Till you're climbing her hair
And you see her up there
AS you're nearing her,
All the while hearing her:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-
[BOTH]
Agony!
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Misery!
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Woe!
[BOTH]
Though it's different for each.
[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Always ten steps behind-
[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Always ten feet below-
[BOTH]
And she's just out of reach.
Agony
That can cut like a knife!
I must have her to wife.
Did I abuse her
Or show her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I should lose her,
How shall I regain
The heart she has won from me?
Agony!
Beyond power of speech,
When the one thing you want
Is the only thing out of your reach.

It Takes Two
by James Corden
[BAKER'S WIFE]
You've changed.
You're daring.
You're different in the woods.
More sure.
More sharing.
You're getting us through the woods.
If you could see-
You're not the man who started,
And much more openhearted
Than I knew
You to be.
[BAKER]
It takes two.
I thought one was enough,
It's not true:
It takes two of us
You came through
When the journey was rough.
It took you.
It took two of us.
It takes care.
It takes patience and fear and despair
To change.
Though you swear
To change,
Who can tell if you do?
It takes two.
[BAKER'S WIFE]
You've changed.
You're thriving.
There's something about the woods.
Not just
Surviving.
You're blossoming in the woods.
At home I'd fear
We'd stay the same forever.
And then out here-
You're passionate
Charming,
Considerate,
Clever-
[BAKER]
It takes one
To begin, but then once
You've begun,
It takes two of you.
It's no fun,
But what needs to be done
You can do
When there's two of you.
If I dare,
It's because I'm becoming
Aware of us
As a pair of us,
Each accepting a share
Of what's there.
[BOTH]
We've changed.
We're strangers.
I'm meeting you in the woods.
Who minds
What dangers?
I know we'll get past the woods.
And once we're past,
Lets' hope the changes last
Beyond woods,
Beyond witches and slippers and hoods,
Just the two of us-
Beyond lies,
Safe at home with out beautiful prize,
Just the few of us.
It takes trust.
It takes just
A bit more
And we're done.
We want four,
We had none.
We've got three.
We need one.
It takes two.
You've changed.
You're daring.
You're different in the woods.
More sure.
More sharing.
You're getting us through the woods.
If you could see-
You're not the man who started,
And much more openhearted

Stay With Me
by Meryl Streep
[WITCH]
What did I clearly say?
Children must listen.
[RAPUNZEL]
No, no, please!
[WITCH]
What were you not to do?
Childrem must see-
[RAPUNZEL]
No!
[WITCH]
And learn.
Why could you not obey?
Children should listen.
What have I been to you?
What would you have me be?
Handsome like a Prince?
Ah, but I am old.
I am ugly.
I embarass you.
[RAPUNZEL]
No!
[WITCH]
You are ashamed of me.
[RAPUNZEL]
No!
[WITCH]
You are ashamed.
You don't understand.
[RAPUNZEL]
It was lonely atop that tower.
[WITCH]
I was not company enough?
[RAPUNZEL]
I am no longer a child. I wish to see the world.
[WITCH]
Don't you know what's out there in the world?
Someone has to shield you from the world.
Stay with me.
Princes wait there in the world, it's true.
Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too.
Stay at home.
I am home.
Who out there could love you more than I?
What out there that I cannot supply?
Stay with me.
Stay with me,
The world is dark and wild.
Stay a child while you can be a child.
With me.
What did I clearly say?
Children must listen.
[RAPUNZEL]
No, no, please!

On The Steps Of The Palace
by Anna Kendrick
CINDERELLA
He's a very smart Prince,
He's a Prince who prepares.
Knowing this time I'd run from him,
He spread pitch on the stairs.
I was caught unawares.
And I thought: well, he cares-
This is more than just malice.
Better stop and take stock
While you're standing here stuck
On the steps of the palace.
You think, what do you want?
You think, make a decision.
Why not stay and be caught?
You think, well, it's a thought,
What would be his response?
But then what if he knew
Who you were when you know
That you're not what he thinks
That he wants?
And then what if you are?
What a Prince would envision?
Although how can you know
Who you are till you know
What you want, which you don't?
So then which do you pick:
Where you're safe, out of sight,
And yourself, but where everything's wrong?
Or where everything's right
And you know that you'll never belong?
And whichever you pick,
Do it quick,
'Cause you're starting to stick
To the steps of the palace.
It's your first big decision,
The choice isn't easy to make.
To arrive at a ball
Is exciting and all-
Once you're there, though, it's scary.
And it's fun to deceive
When you know you can leave,
But you have to be wary.
There's a lot that's at stake,
But you've stalled long enough,
'Cause you're still standing stuck
In the stuff on the steps...
Better run along home
And avoid the collision.
Even though they don't care,
You'll be better of there
Where there's nothing to choose,
So there's nothing to lose.
So you pry up your shoes.
Then from out of the blue,
And without any guide,
You know what your decision is,
Which is not to decide.
You'll leave him a clue:
For example, a shoe.
And then see what he'll do.
Now it's he and not you
Who is stuck with a shoe,
In a stew, in the goo,
And you've learned something, too,
Something you never knew,
On the steps of the palace.
He's a very smart Prince,
He's a Prince who prepares.
Knowing this time I'd run from him,
He spread pitch on the stairs.
I was caught unawares.
And I thought: well, he cares-
This is more than just malice.
Better stop and take stock
While you're standing here stuck
On the steps of the palace.

That you're not what he thinks

What you want, which you don't?

Careful My Toe
by Christine Baranski
NARRATOR
As the Prince anxiously waited,
The stepmother took matters and Florinda's foot into her own hands.
FLORINDA
Careful my toe.
THE STEPMOTHER
Darling I know.
FLORINDA
What'll we do?
THE STEPMOTHER
It'll have to go,
But when you're his bride
You can sit or ride,
You'll never need to walk.
FLORINDA
**Scream**
NARRATOR
Minus one toe,
Florinda mounted the Prince's horse,
Unaware of the blood dripping from the slipper.
Lucinda was next.
LUCINDA
Why wont it fit?
THE STEPMOTHER
Darling be still,
Cut off the bit of the heel and it will,
And when you're his wife,
You'll have such a life,
You'll never need to walk.
LUCINDA
**Loud Scream**
NARRATOR
Minus a heel,
Lucinda did her best to swallow the pain.

Witch's Lament
by Meryl Streep
WITCH
No matter what you say,
Children won't listen.
No matter what you know,
Children refuse
To learn.
Guide them along the way,
Still they don't listen.
Children can only grow
From something you love
To something you lose...
No matter what you say,
Children won't listen.
No matter what you know,
Children refuse
To learn.
Guide them along the way,
Still they don't listen.

Any Moment
by Chris Pine
THE PRINCE
Anything can happen in the woods.
May I kiss you-?
Any moment we could be crushed.
BAKER'S WIFE
Uh-
THE PRINCE
Don't feel rushed.
BAKER'S WIFE
This is ridiculous,
What am I doing here?
I'm in the wrong story.
Wait, wait, wait, we can't do this!
You have a princess.
THE PRINCE
Well, yes. I do.
BAKER'S WIFE
And I have... a baker.
THE PRINCE
Of course, you're right. How foolish.
Foolishness can happen in the woods.
Once again, please-
BAKER'S WIFE
Ummm?
THE PRINCE
Let your hesitations be hushed.
Any moment, big or small,
Is a moment, after all.
Seize the moment, skies may fall
Any moment.
BAKER'S WIFE
Ooh..This is not right.
THE PRINCE
Right and wrong don't matter in the woods,
Only feelings.
Let us meet the moment unblushed.
Life is often so unpleasant-
You must know that, as a peasant-
Best to take the moment present
As a present for the moment.
Anything can happen in the woods.
May I kiss you-?
Any moment we could be crushed.
BAKER'S WIFE
Uh-
THE PRINCE
Don't feel rushed.
BAKER'S WIFE
This is ridiculous,
What am I doing here?
I'm in the wrong story.
Wait, wait, wait, we can't do this!
You have a princess.
THE PRINCE
Well, yes. I do.

Moments in the Woods
by Emily Blunt
THE PRINCE:
I shall not forget you.
How brave you are to be alone in the woods,
And how alive you've made me feel.
BAKER'S WIFE:
What was that?
Was that me?
Was that him?
Did a Prince really kiss me?
And kiss me?
And kiss me?
And did I kiss him back?
Was it wrong?
Am I mad?
Is that all?
Does he miss me?
Was he suddenly
Getting bored with me?
Wake up! Stop dreaming.
Stop prancing about the woods.
It's not besseming.
What is it about the woods?
Back to life, back to sense,
Back to child, back to husband,
No one lives in the woods.
There are vows, there are ties,
There are needs, there are standards,
There are shouldn'ts and shoulds.
Why not both instead?
There's the answer, if you're clever:
Have a child for warmth,
And a Baker for bread,
And a Prince for whatever-
Never!
It's these woods.
Face the facts, find the boy,
Join the group, stop the Giant-
Just get out of these woods.
Was that him? Yes it was.
Was that me? No it wasn't,
Just a trick of the woods.
Just a moment,
One peculiar passing moment...
Must it all be either less or more,
Either plain or grand?
Is it always "or"?
Is it never "and"?
That's what woods are for:
For those moments in the woods...
Oh, if life were made of moments,
Even now and then a bad one!
But if life were only moments,
Then you'd never know you had one.
First a Witch, then a child,
Then a Prince, then a moment-
Who can live in the woods?
And to get what you wish,
Only just for a moment-
These are dangerous woods...
Let the moment go...
Don't forget it for a moment, though.
Just remembering you've had an "and",
When you're back to "or",
Makes the "or" mean more
Than it did before.
Now I understand-
And it's time to leave the woods.
I shall not forget you.
How brave you are to be alone in the woods,
And how alive you've made me feel.
BAKER'S WIFE:
What was that?

Your Fault
by James Corden
JACK
But it isn't my fault,
I was given those beans!
You persuaded me to trade away
My cow for beans!
And without those beans
There'd have been no stalk
To get up to the Giants
In the first place!
BAKER
Wait a minute, magic beans
For a cow so old
That you had to tell
A lie to sell
It, which you told!
Were they worthless beans?
Were they oversold?
Oh, and tell us who
Persuaded you
To steal that gold.
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD (To Jack)
See, it's your fault.
JACK
No!
BAKER
Yes it's you fault...
JACK
No!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
Yes, it is!
JACK
It's not!
BAKER
It's true.
JACK
Wait a minute-
But I only stole the gold
To get my
Cow back from you!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD (To Baker)
So it's your fault!
JACK
Yes!
BAKER
No, it isn't!
I'd have kept those beans,
But our house was cursed.
She made us get the cow to get
The curse reversed!
WITCH
It's you father's fault
That the curse got placed
And the place got cursed
In the first place!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
Oh.
Then it's his fault!
WITCH
So.
CINDERELLA
It was his fault...
JACK
No.
BAKER
Yes, it is,
It's his.
CINDERELLA
I guess...
JACK
Wait a minute, though-
I chopped down the beanstalk-
Right? That's clear.
But without any beanstalk,
Then what's queer
Is how did the second Giant get down here
In the first place?
Second place...
CINDERELLA
Yes!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
How?
BAKER
Hmmm...
JACK
Well,
Who had the other bean?
BAKER
The other bean?
CINDERELLA
The other bean?
JACK (To Baker)
You pocketed the other bean.
BAKER
I didn't!
Yes I did.
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
So it's your fault!
BAKER
No, it isn't,
'Cause I gave it to my Wife!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
So it's her fault!
BAKER
No, it isn't!
CINDERELLA
Then whose is it?
BAKER (To Cinderella)
Wait a minute!
She exchanged that bean
To obtain your shoe,
So the one who knows what happened
To that bean is you!
CINDERELLA
You mean that old bean-
That your Wife-? Oh, dear-
But I never knew,
And so I threw-
Well, don't look here!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
So it's your fault!
CINDERELLA
But-
JACK
See, it's her fault-
CINDERELLA
But-
JACK
And it isn't mine at all!
BAKER (To Cinderella)
But what?
CINDERELLA (To Jack)
Well, if you hadn't gone
Back up again-
JACK
We were needy-
CINDERELLA
You were greedy!
Did you need that hen?
JACK
But I got it for my Mother-!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
So it's her fault then!
CINDERELLA
Yes? And what the harp
In the third place?
BAKER
Ther harp- yes!
JACK
She went and dared me to!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
I dared you to?
JACK
You dared me to!
She said that I was scared-
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
Me?
JACK
So she dared me!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
No, I didn't!
BAKER, CINDERELLA, JACK
So it's your fault!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
Wait a minute-!
CINDERELLA
If you hadn't dared him to-
BAKER (To Jack)
And you had left the harp alone,
We wouldn't been in trouble
In the first place!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD (To Cinderella)
Well, if you hadn't thrown away the bean
In the first place-!
CINDERELLA
Well, if she hadn't raised them in the first place-!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD (To Cinderella)
It was your fault!
JACK (To Witch)
Yes, if you hadn't raised them in the first place-!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD & BAKER (To Witch)
Right! It's you raised them in the first place-!
CINDERELLA
You raised the beans in the first place!
JACK
It's you fault!
CINDERELLA, JACK, BAKER, LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
You're responsible!
You're the one to blame!
It's your fault!
But it isn't my fault,
I was given those beans!
You persuaded me to trade away
My cow for beans!
And without those beans
There'd have been no stalk
To get up to the Giants
In the first place!
BAKER
Wait a minute, magic beans
For a cow so old
That you had to tell
A lie to sell
It, which you told!
Were they worthless beans?
Were they oversold?
Oh, and tell us who
Persuaded you

Last Midnight
by Meryl Streep
WITCH
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!
It's the last midnight.
It's the last wish.
It's the last midnight;
Soon it will be boom-
Squish!
Told a little lie,
Stole a little gold,
Broke a little vow,
Did you?
Had to get your Prince,
Had to get your cow,
Had to get your wish,
Doesn't matter how-
Anyway, it doesn't matter now.
It's the last midnight,
It's the boom-
Splat!
Nothing but a vast midnight.
Everybody smashed flat!
Nothing we can do.
Not exactly true:
We can always give her the boy...
No, of course what really matters
Is the blame,
Someone you can blame.
Fine, if that's the thing you enjoy,
Placing the blame,
If that's the aim,
Give me the blame-
Just give me the boy.
THE OTHERS
No!
WITCH
No?
You're so nice.
You're not good,
You're not bad,
You're just nice.
I'm not good,
I'm not nice,
I'm just right.
I'm the Witch.
You're the world.
I'm the hitch.
I'm what no one believes,
I'm the Witch.
You're all liars and theives,
Like his father,
Like his son will be, too-
Oh, why bother?
You'll just do what you do.
It's the last midnight,
So, goodbye all.
Coming at you fast, midnight-
Soon you'll see the sky fall.
Here, you want a bean?
Have another bean.
Beans were made for making you rich!
Plant them and they soar-
Here, you want some more?
Listen to the roar...
Giants by the score-!
Oh well, you can blame another witch.
It's the last midnight.
It's the last verse.
Now, before it's past midnight,
I'm leaving you my last curse:
I'm leaving you alone.
You can tend the garden, it's yours.
Separate and alone,
Everybody down on all fours.
All right, mother, when?
Lost the beans again!
Punish me the way you did then!
Give me claws and a hunch,
Just away from this bunch
And the gloom
And the doom
And the boom
Cruuunch!
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!
It's the last midnight.
It's the last wish.
It's the last midnight;
Soon it will be boom-
Squish!
Told a little lie,
Stole a little gold,
Broke a little vow,
Did you?
Had to get your Prince,
Had to get your cow,
Had to get your wish,
Doesn't matter how-
Anyway, it doesn't matter now.

Finale/Children Will Listen (Part 1)
by James Corden
BABY
Waaah!
BAKER
Shhhhhh...please
Maybe I just wasn't meant to have children...
BAKER'S WIFE
Don't say that,
Of course you were meant to have children...
BAKER
But how can I go about being a father
When I had no father to show me?
BABY
Waaah!
BAKER'S WIFE
Just calm the child.
BAKER
Yes, calm the child.
BAKER'S WIFE
Look, tell him the story
Of how it all happened.
Be father and mother,
You'll know what to do.
BAKER
Alone?...
BAKER'S WIFE
Sometimes people leave you
Halfway through the wood.
Do not let it grieve you,
No one leaves for good.
You are not alone.
No one is alone.
Hold him to the light now,
Let him see the glow.
Things will be all right now.
Tell him what you know...
BAKER
Once upon a time... in a far-off kingdom...
There lay a small village at the edge of the woods.
And in this village there lived a young maiden, a care-free young lad,
And a childless baker... with his wife...
WITCH
Careful the things you say,
Children will listen.
Careful the things you do,
Children will see.
And learn.
Guide them along the way,
Children will glisten.
Children will look to you
For which way to turn,
To learn what to be.
Careful before you say,
"Listen to me."
Children will listen.
ALL
Careful the wish you make,
Wishes are children.
Careful the path they take-
Wishes come true,
Not free.
Careful the spell you cast,
Not just on children.
Sometimes the spell may last
Past what you can see
And turn against you...
WITCH
Careful the tale you tell.
That is the spell.
Children will listen...
Waaah!

Finale/Children Will Listen (Part 2)
by Into the Woods Cast
Though it's fearful,
Though it's deep, though it's dark
And though you may lose the path,
Though you may encounter wolves,
You can't just act,
You have to listen.
You can't just act
You have to think.
There are always wolves,
There are always spells,
There are always beans,
Or a Giant dwells.
So Into the woods
You go again,
You have to
Every now and then.
Into the woods,
No telling when,
Be ready for the journey.
Into the woods,
But not too fast
Or what you wish
You lose at last.
Into the woods, but mind the past.
Into the woods, but mind the future.
Into the woods, but not to stray,
Or tempt the Wolf or steal from the Giant-
The way is dark,
The light is dim,
But now there's you,
Me, her and him.
The chances look small,
The choices look grim,
But everything you learn there
Will help when you return there.
BAKER, CINDERELLA, LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, JACK
The light is getting dimmer-
BAKER
I think I see a glimmer-
ALL
Into the woods-
You have to grope,
But that's the way
You learn to cope.
Into the woods
To find there's hope
Of getting through the journey.
Into the woods-
Each time you go,
There's more to learn
Of what you know.
Into the woods, but not too slow-
Into the woods, it's nearing midnight-
Into the woods to mind the Wolf,
To heed the Witch,
To honor the Giant,
To mind,
To heed,
To find,
To think,
To teach,
To join,
To go to the Festival!
Into the woods,
Into the woods,
Into the woods,
Then out of the woods
And happy ever after!
CINDERELLA
... I wish...
Though it's deep, though it's dark
And though you may lose the path,
Though you may encounter wolves,
You can't just act,
You have to listen.
You can't just act
You have to think.
There are always wolves,
There are always spells,
There are always beans,
Or a Giant dwells.
So Into the woods

Every now and then.

Into the Woods is a 2014 American musical fantasy film directed by Rob Marshall, with a screenplay by James Lapine based on his and Stephen Sondheim's 1987 Broadway musical of the same name. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, it features an ensemble cast that includes Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, James Corden, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, Tracey Ullman, Christine Baranski and Johnny Depp. The film is centered on a childless couple who set out to end a curse placed on them by a vengeful witch, and the characters are forced to experience the unintended consequences of their actions. It is inspired by the Grimm Brothers' fairy-tales of "Little Red Riding Hood", "Cinderella", "Jack and the Beanstalk", and "Rapunzel".
After several unsuccessful attempts by other studios and producers to adapt the musical to film, Disney announced in 2012 that it was producing an adaptation, with Marshall directing and John DeLuca serving as producer. Principal photography commenced in September 2013, and took place entirely in the United Kingdom, including at Shepperton Studios in London.
Into the Woods had its world premiere in New York City on December 8, 2014, and was released theatrically in the United States on December 25, 2014. It was commercially successful and received generally positive reviews, receiving praise for its acting performances (particularly Streep's and Blunt's), visual style, production values, and musical numbers, and criticism for its tone in the final act. Into the Woods was named one of the top 11 best films of 2014 by the American Film Institute; the film received three Academy Award nominations, including a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Streep, and three Golden Globe Award nominations, including Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy.
