And she thought she had you guys stumped.....okay, here's one for  you.  
(I've googled and searched all the movie sites I know, etc.).   There's an 
(obviously) old movie in which Danny Kaye narrates the stories of,  and plays 
some of 
the characters in, some classic fairy tales -- I think  Grimm's.   Anyone?
 
Julie Krueger
been looking for this one for years

Hi,
Oh, who can tell me about the musical In the Woods (or something like  
that...I keep wanting to say "In the Dark"...maybe because the woods are  dark?)
 
Plot?  Lyrics?  Music?  
Anything at all?
 
Best,
Marlena in Missouri

Into the Woods?
Steven  Sondheim?
The first act combines Rapunzel, the Baker and his Wife, Jack and  the 
Beanstalk, and Cinderella, all in one story. The second act is what happens  
"after 
happily ever after."

The whole libretto is here:

(http://www.geocities.com/Broadway/5627/libretto.html?200521) 

This  is from an unofficial page on the play, here:

There  is a sound track, and a DVD of the Broadway show with original  cast.
