Inspired by Psychiatrist Bruno Bettelheim's famous book, The Uses of Enchantment, the musical INTO THE WOODS reveals the true intended meaning of fairy-tales by intertwining a collection of uncensored versions of 18th century Brothers Grimm fairy tales, creating an original story involving a Baker and his Wife's quest to begin a family, also tying together the stories of Little Red Ridinghood, Jack of Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel, and Cinderella.
