'Es war einmal ...' Mit diesen Worten beginnen nicht nur alle M'rchen, sondern auch Stephen Sondheims m'rchenhaftes Musical Into the Woods f'r die ganze Familie. Doch schon die n'chsten Worte lauten 'Ich will ...!' Alle haben sie ihre W'nsche: Aschenputtel m'chte unbedingt auf den Ball des Prinzen gehen. Hans m'chte seine geliebte Kuh vor dem Tod bewahren und ist daf'r bereit, eine Bohnenranke hinauf zu klettern. Rotk'ppchen will seine Gro'mutter im Wald besuchen und das Leben kennen lernen. Und der B'cker und seine Frau wollen endlich den Fluch der Kinderlosigkeit 'berwinden, der auf ihnen lastet. Kein Problem, erkl'rt ihnen die b'se Hexe von nebenan: Sie m'ssten nur in den Wald gehen und einen Schuh aus purem Gold, ein rotes Cape, eine milchwei'e Kuh und eine goldene Haarstr'hne herbeischaffen ... Ab in den Wald!
