A collection of fairy tale characters head into the woods, and soon learn that fairy tales don't end at "happily ever after." This rendition of Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award-winning musical was recorded on the stage with its original all-star Broadway cast. Originally broadcast as part of "American Playhouse" on PBS (season ten, episode one).

A darkly enchanting, musically rich journey where wishes have a price. It's a sophisticated, often unsettling, exploration of fairy tales and the messy realities that follow 'happily ever after.'
