prologue: so happy - into the woods 2022 broadway cast lyrics
[narrator, spoken]
once upon a time—
—later—
[cinderella]
i wish…
[narrator]
—in that same far*off kingdom—
[cinderella]
more than anything…
[narrator]
—lived a young princess—
[cinderella]
more than life…
[narrator]
—the lad jack—
[cinderella]
more than footmen…
[jack]
i wish…
[narrator]
—and the baker with his family—
[baby]
waah!
[jack]
no, i miss…
[cinderella & baker]: i wish…
[baby]
waah!
[jack]
more than anything…
[cinderella, baker & jack]
more than the moon…
[baker’s wife, spoken]
there, there…
[cinderella]
i wish to sponsor a festival
[baby]
waah!
[baker]
more than life…
[jack]
i miss…
[cinderella]
the time has come for a festival…
[baby]
waah!
[baker’s wife]
shh…
[baker]
more than riches…
[cinderella]
and a ball…
[jack]
i miss my kingdom up in the sky
[cinderella & baker]
more than anything…
[baker’s wife]
i wish we had more room…
[jack]
play, harp…
[baker]
another room…
[narrator, spoken]
but despite some minor inconveniences, they wеre all content…
[cinderella]
i nevеr thought i’d wed a prince…
[cinderella’s prince]
i never thought i’d find perfection…
[cinderella & cinderella’s prince]
i never thought i could be so happy!
[cinderella]
not an unhappy moment since…
[jack & jack’s mother]
i didn’t think we’d be this rich…
[cinderella’s prince]
not a conceivable objection…
[baker & baker’s wife]
i never thought we’d have a baby…
[cinderella, cinderella’s prince, jack, & jack’s mother]
i never thought i could be so happy!
[baker & baker’s wife, overlapping]
i’m so happy!
[stepmother]
happy now
happy hence
happy ever after—
[stepmother, florinda, & lucinda]
we’re so happy you’re so happy!
just as long as you stay happy
we’ll stay happy!
[cinderella & cinderella’s prince]
not one row…
[jack’s mother]
pots of pence…
[jack]
with my cow…
[baker & baker’s wife]
little gurgles…
[cinderella’s prince]
darling, i must go now…
[jack’s mother]
we should really sell it
[baker]
where’s the cheesecloth?
[all except baker]
wishes may bring problems
such that you regret them
[all]
better that, though
than to never get them…
[cinderella]
i’m going to be a perfect wife!
[jack]
i’m going to be a perfect son!
[baker’s wife & jack’s mother]
i’m going to be a perfect mother!
[baker]
i’m going to be a perfect father!
i’m so happy!
[cinderella, baker’s wife, jack, & jack’s mother, overlapping]
i’m going to see that he (she)
is so happy!
[all]
i never thought i’d love my life!
i would have settled for another!
[cinderella]
then to become a wife…
[jack, & jack’s mother]
then to be set for life…
[baker & baker’s wife]
then to beget a child…
[all]
that fortune smiled…
i’m so happy!
[baker’s wife, spoken]
if only this cottage were a little larger
[baker, spoken]
i will expand our quarters in due time
[baker’s wife, spoken]
why would we expand when we can simply move to another cottage?
[baker, spoken]
we will not move. this was my father’s house, now it will be my son’s
[baker’s wife, spoken]
you would raise your child alongside a witch?
[baker, spoken]
why does he always cry when i hold him?
[baker’s wife, spoken]
babies cry. he’s fine. you needn’t hold him as if he were so fragile
[baker, spoken]
he wants his mother. here
[baker’s wife, spoken]
i can’t take care of him all of the time!
[baker, spoken]
i’ll care for him when he’s older
[baker, baker’s wife, jack, & jack’s mother]
we had to go through thick and thin
[stepmother, lucinda, & florinda]
we had to lose a lot to win
[cinderella]
i ventured out and saw within
[all]
i never thought
i’d be so much i hadn’t been!
i’m so happy…
[baker’s wife, spoken]
oh, my goodness
[baker, spoken]
are you all right?
[baker’s wife, spoken]
i think so
[baker, spoken]
and the baby?
[baker’s wife, spoken]
yes, he’s fine. are you all right?
[baker, spoken]
you! have you done this to our house?
[witch, spoken]
always thinking of yourself! look at my garden
[baker’s wife, spoken]
what of your garden?
[witch, spoken]
look!
[baker, spoken]
destroyed
[baker’s wife, spoken]
what has happened?
[witch, spoken]
i was thrown to the ground. i saw nothing
[baker’s wife, spoken]
what could do such a thing?
[baker, spoken]
an earthquake
[witch, spoken]
no earthquake! my garden has been trampled. those are footprints!
[baker’s wife, spoken]
who could do such a thing?
[witch, spoken]
anything that leaves a footprint that large is no “who.”
[baker, spoken]
do you think it was a bear?
[witch, spoken]
a bear? bears are sweet
besides, you ever see a bear with forty*foot feet?
[baker’s wife, spoken]
a dragon?
[witch, spoken]
no scorch marks—
usually they’re linked
[baker, spoken]
manticore?
[witch, spoken]
imaginary
[baker’s wife & baker, spoken]
griffin?
[witch, spoken]
extinct
[baker, spoken]
giant?
[witch]
possible
very, very possible…
[narrator, spoken]
more than possible. their fears would prove to be well*founded
[baker]
into the woods
it’s always when
you think at last
you’re through, and then
into the woods you go again
to take another journey
[baker’s wife]
into the woods
the weather’s clear
we’ve been before
we’ve naught to fear…
into the woods, away from here—
[jack]
into the woods, to find a giant—!
[little red ridinghood]
into the woods to grandmother’s house…
[baker]
into the woods
the path is straight
no reason then
to hesitate—
[baker’s wife]
into the woods
it’s not so late
it’s just another journey…
[cinderella]
into the woods
but not too long:
the skies are strange
the winds are strong
into the woods to see what’s wrong…
[jack]
into the woods to slay the giant!
[jack, baker, cinderella, baker’s wife, & little red ridinghood]
into the woods
[baker’s wife]
to shield the child…
[little red ridinghood]
to flee the winds…
[baker]
to find a future…
[baker’s wife]
to shield…
[jack]
to slay…
[little red ridinghood]
to flee…
[baker’s wife]
to find…
[cinderella]
to fix…
[baker’s wife]
to hide…
[little red ridinghood]
to move…
[jack]
to battle…
[cinderella]
to see what the trouble is…
