About the show
The 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 spell. As the characters pursue their wishes, Lapine and Sondheim explore the tensions, conflicts and unexpected self discoveries that arise when one’s wishes come true.
