INTO THE WOODS Music and Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM Book by JAMES LAPINE Originally Directed on Broadway by JAMES LAPINE Orchestrations by JONATHAN TUNICK Directed by Anthony Trifiletti Cinderella goes to the festival, and marries the prince. Jack climbs the beanstalk, and steals the giant's gold. The Baker and his wife are bestowed with a child...then what?
