Loading...

[narrator]
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 and his family–

[baby]
waaah!

[jack]
no, i miss..

[cinderella,baker]: i wish..

[baby]
waaah!

[jack]
more than anything..

[cinderella, baker, jack]
more than the moon..

[wife, to baby]
there, there..

[cinderella]
i wish to sponsor a festival

[baby]
waaah!

[baker]
more than life..

[jack]
i miss..

[cinderella]
the time has come for a festival..

[baby]
waaah!

[wife]
shh..

[baker]
more than riches..

[cinderella]
and a ball…

[jack]
i miss my kingdom up in the sky

[cinderella, baker]
more than anything..

[wife]
i wish we had more room..

[jack]
play, harp…

[baker]
another room..

[narrator]
but despite some minor inconveniences, they were all content..

[cinderella]
i never 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, 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, wife]
i’m so happy!

[stepmother]
happy now
happy hence
happy ever after–

[stepmother, stepsisters]
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, 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 others]
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!

[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, wife, jack, jack’s mother]
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..

[cinderella, jack, jack’s mother]
then to be set for life..

[baker, wife]
then to beget a child..

[all]
that fortune smiled..
i’m so happy
[dialogue, then:]

[baker, 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 hap–
[crash, dialogue, then:]

[baker]
who could do such a thing?

[witch]
anything that leaves a footprint that large is no ‘who.’

[baker]
do you think it was a bear?

[witch]
a bear? bears are sweet
besides, you ever see a bear with forty-foot feet?

wife: dragon?

[witch]
no scorch marks–usually they’re linked

[baker]
manticore?

[witch]
imaginary

[wife, baker]
griffin?

[witch]
extinct

[baker]
giant?

[witch]
possible. very, very possible..
[dialogue, then:]

[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

[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–!

[lrrh]
into the woods to grandmother’s house..

[baker]
into the woods
the path is straight
no reason, then, to hesitate–

[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!

[wife]
into the woods to shield the child..

[lrrh]
to flee the winds..

[baker]
to find a future..

[wife]
to shield..

[jack]
to slay..

[lrrh]
to flee..

[baker]
to find..

[cinderella]
to fix..

[wife]
to hide..

[lrrh]
to move..

[jack]
to battle..

[cinderella]
to see what the trouble is…
