| Book by James Lapine |
| Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim |
| Originally Directed on Broadway by James
Lapine | |
| Into the Woods Junior* is the authorized young
performer’s edition of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s cock-eyed view of
everyone's favorite fairytale characters in this hysterical take on the Brothers
Grimm. |
| |
| Into the Woods Junior is an engaging and funny
musical comedy that twists familiar fairy tales into a brand new story. When a
Baker and his Wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the Witch
next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the
spell; swindling, deceiving and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red Riding
Hood, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk)! |
| |
| Equally at home in large or intimate spaces, Into the
Woods Junior is a funny and engaging way to get young people to think
about the stories with which they've grown up, and the ethical issues raised
therein. |
| |
| The Broadway Junior Collection now offers this Stephen
Sondheim score in an adapted format perfect for young performers! Bring the
world of theatre to your very own backyard with Into the Woods
Junior. | |

|
| |
| |
The Baker is an innocent but stubborn husband. This is a
large role that has some challenging singing. The audience should never doubt he
is a good-hearted person, trying to do what is right. |
| |
| |
The Baker’s Wife is strong, determined and patient. The
role requires excellent singing AND acting, plus a good sense of comic timing.
|
| |
| |
Cinderella is at once beautiful and surprisingly clumsy
and awkward. Cinderella has very little dialogue. |
| |
| |
Cinderella’s Family – Cinderella’s Stepmother,
her stepsisters Florinda and Lucinda, and her Father are
great comedic roles. |
| |
| |
Cinderella’s Mother is a one-scene wonder. The voice
should be strong and pleasant. A collection of remembered mannerisms and
sayings. |
| |
| |
Jack has a lot of dialogue, and is responsible for
singing two of the best-loved songs: "I Guess This Is Goodbye" and "Giants in
the Sky." This is a role that could conceivably be played by a young woman,
however, you will want to make sure she plays it as a boy and doesn’t change the
gender of the character. |
| |
| |
Jack’s Mother is described physically as "not quite
pretty." She should be comfortable playing frazzled and frumpy. This is mainly
an acting role and therefore requires an actress with an easily projected,
authoritative speaking voice. |
| |
| |
Little Red Ridinghood is pushy, bratty, over-fed and
spoiled. Her journey teaches her some very important lessons. A wonderfully fun
role for the right girl. |
| |
| |
The Narrator/Mysterious Man tells the story to the
audience. While he doesn’t sing much, he does have the most lines to memorize,
being the largest role in the show. The Narrator is frequently cast as the
Mysterious Man as well. |
| |
| |
Rapunzel must stand up to her mother and eventually
leave her for the world. This role requires an excellent soprano voice.
|
| |
| |
Rapunzel’s Prince and Cinderella’s Prince are
pompous, conceited and self-absorbed brothers. They should be able to carry
themselves with confidence. Both should be good singers. |
| |
| |
The Witch is the ultimate character role. Originally
played by Bernadette Peters on Broadway, it requires a good singer/actor who can
deliver the drama of the script. Mysterious and mischievous. |
| |
| |
FEATURED ENSEMBLE: |
| |
The Wolf should be properly slimy and a bit
creepy.
The Steward is a great role to gain
experience.
Granny may be doubled by Cinderella’s
mother.
Milky White was played on Broadway by a prop, but you may
choose to cast this non-singing role. |
