But after reading "Discerning Viewer" said about "Into the Woods." I had to say something.Sondheim used the original; unedited versions of the Fairy Tales. Case being that the stories were more for adults AND children. And there are universal morals. Dont smother your children (Rapunzel); Dont deviate from the path (Red Ridding Hood); Despite being unappreciated and condemned to serving others; as long as you are kind natured and a truly good person; your dreams will come true (Cinderella). And many argue that Jack and the Beanstalks is moral is learning to survive and fend for ones self and family.The second act asks the questions and consequences that the Fairy Tales never answer; like does marrying a handsome Prince really make someone happy? Is a Giant always wrong; and how do you deal with his angry widow? Is killing the wolf the best solution? And does it pay to be charming and not sincere? And two other powerful points of the musical; that are also morals are told; That no one is alone; that everyone depends/needs on someone to survive. And finally that what ever we do; children will SEE and HEAR it; so they LEARN from it; so be careful of our actions and what we tell (and stories) when we say "Listen to Me..."0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
