Prologue: Into the Woods

(Company)

NARRATOR
Once upon a time,
In a far off kingdom,
There lay a small village at the edge of the woods.

CINDERELLA
I wish...

NARRARATOR
And in this village

CIDERELLA
More than anything...

NARRARATOR
Lived a young maiden,

CINDERELLA
More than life,
More than jewels

NARRARATOR
A care-free young lad

JACK
I wish...
More than life.

NARRATOR
And a childless baker

THE BAKER & BAKER'S WIFE
I wish?.

NARRATOR
With his wife

THE BAKER
More than anything

BAKER'S WIFE
More than the moon.

THE BAKER & BAKER'S WIFE
I wish..

CINDERELLA
The King is giving a festival

THE BAKER & BAKER'S WIFE
More than life

JACK
I wish

CINDERELLA
I wish to go to the festival

THE BAKER & BAKER'S WIFE
More than riches

CINDERELLA
And the ball.

JACK
I wish my cow would
give us some milk.

BAKER'S WIFE
More than anything...

BAKER
I wish we had a child.

BAKER'S WIFE
I want a child...

JACK
Squeeze, pal...

CINDERELLA
I wish to go to the Festival.

JACK
I wish you'd give us some
milk or even cheese...

CINDERELLA
I wish...

BAKER'S WIFE
I wish we might have a child.
I wish...
I wish...

STEPMOTHER
You wish to go to the Festival?

NARRATOR
The poor girl's parents had died,

STEPMOTHER
You Cinderella, the festival?
You wish to go to the festival?

FLORINDA
What, you, Cinderella, the Festival?
The Festival?!

LUCINDA
What, you wish to go to the Festival?

ALL THREE
The Festival?
The King's Festival?

NARRATOR
And now she lived with her stepmother

STEPMOTHER
The Festival...

NARRARATOR
Who had two daughters of her own.

FLORINDA
Look at your nails!

LUCINDA
Look at your dress!

STEPMOTHER
People would laugh at you-

CINDERELLA, STEPMOTHER, & STEPSISTERS
Nevertheless,
I/she still want/s to go to the Festival
And dance before the Prince.
THE STEPMOTHER
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

NARRATOR
All three were beautiful of face, but vile and black of heart.

The young lad had no father, and his mother-

JACK'S MOTHER
I wish...

NARRATOR
Well, she was at her wits end

JACK'S MOTHER
I wish my son were not a fool.
I wish my house was not a mess.
I wish the cow was full of milk.
I wish the walls were full of gold-
I wish a lot of things...

What, I heavens name, are you doing with a cow inside the house?

JACK
I thought if he were nice and warm,
He might produce some milk.

JACK'S MOTHER
It's a she!
How many times must I tell you?
That only shes can give milk!

NARRATOR
And then there was a hungry little girl,
Who always wore a red cape.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
I wish...

It's not for me,
It's for my Granny in the woods.
A loaf of bread, please-
To bring my poor old hungry
Granny in the woods...

Just a loaf of bread, please...

NARRATOR
Cinderella's Stepmother had a surprise for her.

STEPMOTHER
Cinderella, if you can pick up these lentils and finish your chores in time,
Then you may go to the ball with us.
Come along ladies.

LUCINDA & FLORINDA
Yes mother

LUCINDA
Good Luck

CINDERELLA
Come little birds,
Down from the eaves,
And the leaves,
Over fields,
Out of castles and ponds..

JACK
Now squeeze pal

CINDERELLA
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah???.

Quick, little birds,
Flick through the ashes.
Pick and peck, but swiftly,
Sift through the ashes,
Into the pot...

JACK'S MOTHER
Now listen to me well, son. Milky-White must be taken to market.

JACK
Mother, no- he's the best cow-

JACK'S MOTHER
Was! She has been dry for weeks now.
We've no food, no money,
and no choice but to sell her.

JACK
But Milky-Whites my best friend.

JACK'S MOTHER
Look at her!
There are bugs on her dugs.
There are flies in her eyes.
There's a lump on her rump
Big enough to be a hump-

JACK
But-

JACK'S MOTHER
We've no time to sit and dither,
While her wither's wither with her-
And no one keeps a cow for a friend!

Sometimes I wonder what's going on in that head of yours.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
Into the woods,
It's time to go,
I hate to leave,
I have to.
Into the woods-
It's time, and so
I must begin my journey.

Into the woods
And through the trees
To where I am
Expected ma'am,
Into the woods
To Grandmother's house-

Into the woods
To Grandmother's house-

BAKER'S WIFE
You're certain of your way?

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
The way is clear,
The light is good,
I have no fear,
Nor no one should.
The woods are just trees,
The trees are just wood.
I sort of hate to ask it,
But do you have a basket?

BAKER'S WIFE
Yes we do

THE BAKER
Don't suppose you're planning on buying any of these?

BAKER'S WIFE
Oh, shh.
Now, don't stray and be late, alright?

THE BAKER
You might save some of those sweets for Granny.

OH MY?.

BAKER'S WIFE
Dear leave it

THE BAKER
She's a thief.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
Into the woods
And down the dell,
The path is straight,
I know it well.
Into the woods,
And who can tell
What's waiting on the journey?

Into the woods
To bring some bread
To Granny who
Is sick in bed.
Never can tell
What lies ahead.
For all that I know,
She's already dead.

But into the woods,
Into the woods,
Into the woods
To Grandmother's house
And home before dark.

LUCINDA & FLORINDA
Cinderella, get up here.

CINDERELLA
Fly, birds,
Back to the sky,

FLORINDA
We're waiting

CINDERELLA
Back to the eaves
And the leaves
And the fields
And the-

FLORINDA
Hurry up and do my hair, Cinderella!

Are you really wearing that?

LUCINDA
Here, I found a little tear, Cinderella.

Can't you hide it with a hat?

CINDERELLA
You look beautiful.

FLORINDA
I know.

LUCINDA
She means me.

FLORINDA
No she didn't.

CINDERELLA
Mother said be good,
Father said be nice,
That was always their advice.
So be nice, Cinderella,
Good, Cinderella,
Nice good good nice-

FLORINDA
Tighter!

CINDERELLA
What's the good of being good
If everyone is blind
Always leaving you behind?
Never mind, Cinderella,
Kind Cinderella-
Nice good nice kind good nice-

FLORINDA
Owww!! Not that tight! Clod!!

(Florinda slaps Cinderella hard across the face.)

FLORIND & LUCINDA
**Laughing**

BAKER
Who might that be?

BAKER'S WIFE
We've sold our last loaf of bread.

BAKER
It's the witch from next door!

BAKER & BAKER'S WIFE
We have no bread.

WITCH
I don't want your bread!

BAKER
Then what is it you wish?

WITCH
It's not what I wish! It's what you wish!

(points to Baker's Wife)
Nothing cooking in that belly now is there?
And there will never be,
Unless you do exactly as I say.
In three days time,
A blue moon will appear.
Only then can the curse be undone.

BAKER'S WIFE
What curse?

WITCH
The one I placed on this house.

THE BAKER
What are you talking about?

THE WITCH
In the past, when you were no more than a babe,
your Father brought his young wife and you to this cottage.
They were a lovely couple,
but not lovely neighbors!
You see, your mother was with child,
and she developed an unusual appetite.
She admired my beautiful garden,
and she told your father that what she wanted more than
anything in the world was

(rapping)
Greens, greens, nothing but greens:
Parsley, peppers, cabbages and celery,
Asparagus and watercress and
Fiddleferns, lettuce-!

He said, "All right,"
But it wasn't, quite,
'Cause I caught him in the autumn
In my garden one night!
He was robbing me,
Raping me,
Rooting through my rutabaga,
Raiding my arugula and
Ripping up my rampion
(My champion! My favorite!)-
I should have laid a spell on him
Right there,
Could have changed him into stone
Or a dog or a chair...

But I let him have the rampion-
I'd lots to spare.
In return, however,
I said, "Fair is fair:
You can let me have the baby
That your wife will bear.

And we'll call it square."

BAKER
I had a brother?

WITCH
No! But you had a sister.

THE BAKER
Where is she?

THE WITCH
She's mine now.
And you'll never find her.
Small price to pay for what else your father stole from me.
It cost me my youth and my beauty.
My mother warned me,
She would punish me with the curse of ugliness if I ever lost any of them.

BAKER'S WIFE
Lost what?

THE WITCH
The beans

BAKER & WIFE
Beans?

WITCH
The special beans.

I let him go,
I didn't know
He'd stolen my beans!

I was watching him crawl,
Back over the wall-!
Then bang! Crash!
And the lightning flash!
And- well, that's another story,
Never mind-
Anyway, at last
The big day came,
I made my claim.
"Oh, don't take away the baby,"
They shrieked and screeched,
But I did,
And I hid her
Where she'll never be reached.

Your father cried,
your mother died.
And for extra measure-
I admit it was a pleasure-
I said, "Sorry,
I'm still not mollified."

And I laid little spell on them-
You, too, son-
That your family tree
Would always be a barren one...

BAKER'S WIFE
No!!

THE BAKER
How could you do that?

THE WITCH
And when your mother died,
Your father deserted you.
Your father was no father,
So why should you be?

WITCH
Now there's no more fuss
And there's no more scenes
And my garden thrives-
You should see my nectarines!
But I'm tellling you the same
I tell kings and queens:
Don't ever never ever
Mess around with my greens!
Especially the beans.

JACK
Ah ya but why do we need to go to the next village?

JACK'S MOTHER
Because everyone in this village knows the cow hasn't given a drop of milk in weeks.

JACK
But that's cheating

JACK'S MOTHER
We're starving Jack.
Don't you understand that?
Now, your not to accept less than five pounds for her.
Are you listening to me?

JACK
Yes

JACK'S MOTHER
How much are you to ask?

JACK
No more than five pound.

JACK'S MOTHER
Less than?

JACK
'than five.

JACK'S MOTHER
Into the woods
The time is now.
We have to live,
I don't care how.
Into the woods
To sell the cow,
You must begin the journey.
Straight to the woods
and don't delay-
We have to face
The marketplace.
Into the woods to journey's end-

JACK
Into the woods to sell a friend-

WITCH
You wish to have
The curse reversed?
I'll need a certain
Potion first.
Go to the wood and bring me back
One: the cow as white as milk,
Two: the cape as red as blood,
Three: the hair as yellow as corn,
Four: the slipper as pure as gold.

Bring me these
Before the chime
Of midnight,
In three day's time,
Tis then the blue moon reappears,
Which comes but once each hundred years.
Bring them and I guarantee a child as perfect as child can be.

Go to the wood!

STEPMOTHER
Ladies.
Our carriage waits.

CINDERELLA
Now may I go to the Festival?

STEPMOTHER
The Festival-!
Darling, those nails!
Darling, those clothes!
The lentils are one thing but
Darling, with those,
You'd make us the fools of the Festival
And mortify the Prince!

CINDERELLA
The festival last three nights.
Surely you can let me be there for one of them.

STEPMOTHER
The King is trying to find his son a wife,
Not a skowerly maid.
We must be gone.
GO!!!
CINDERELLA
I wish?.

BAKER'S WIFE
Beans? These must be the witche's beans. We'll take them with us.

BAKER
We?

BAKER'S WIFE
Yes

BAKER
We? No! You are not coming, it's not safe out there.

BAKER'S WIFE
Well I can help you.

THE BAKER
No, I can do this on my own.

BAKER
The spell is on my house.
Only I can lift the spell,
The spell is on my house.

BAKER'S WIFE
No, no, the spell is on our house.
We must lift the spell.
The spell is on our house.

BAKER
Now, tell me what am I to return with?

BAKER'S WIFE
Oh, ga, You don't remember?

The cow as white as milk,
The cape as red as blood,
The hair as yellow as corn,
The slipper as pure as gold-

BAKER
The cow as white as milk,
The cape as red as blood,
The hair as yellow as corn,
The slipper as pure as gold...

CINDERELLA
I still wish to go to the Festival,
But how am I ever to get to the Festival?

BAKER
The cow as white as milk,
The cape as red as blood,
The hair as yellow as corn-

CINDERELLA
I know!
I'll visit Mother's grave,
The grave at the hazel tree,
And tell her I just want to
Go to the King's Festival...

BAKER
The slipper as pure as gold...
The cow, the cape,
The slipper as pure as gold-

BAKER'S WIFE
The hair-!

CINDERELLA & BAKER
Into the woods,
It's time to go,
It may be all
In vain, I know.
Into the woods-
But even so,
I have to take the journey.

BAKER'S WIFE
Into the woods,
The path is straight,
You know it well,

THE BAKER
But who can tell-

BAKER'S WIFE
Into the woods to lift the spell-

CINDERELLA
Into the woods to visit Mother-

JACK'S MOTHER
Into the woods to sell the cow-

JACK
To get the money-

CINDERELLA
To go to the Festival-

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
Into the woods to Grandmother's house...
Into the woods to Grandmother's house...

ALL
The way is clear,
The light is good,
I have no fear,
Nor no one should.
The woods are just trees,
The trees are just wood.
No need to be afraid there-

BAKER
There's something in the glade there...

ALL
Into the woods,
Without delay,
But careful not
To lose the way.
Into the woods,
Who knows what may
Be lurking on the journey?

Into the woods
To get the thing
That makes it worth
The journeying.
Into the woods-

STEMOTHER & STEPSISTERS
To see the King-

JACK & MOTHER
To sell the cow-

BAKER & WIFE
To make the potion-

ALL
To see-
To sell-
To get-
To bring-
To make-
To lift-
To go to the Festival-!

Into the woods!
Into the woods!
Into the woods,
Then out of the woods,
And home before dark!

Cinderella at the Grave

(Joanna Riding)

[NARRATOR]
Cinderella had planted a branch at the grave of her Mother,
and many tear had watered it until it had become
a handsome tree.

[CINDERELLA]
I've been good and I've been kind, Mother,
Doing only what I learned from you.
Why then am I left behind, Mother,
Is there something more that I should do?
What is wrong with me, Mother?
Something must be wrong.
I wish-

[CINDERELLA'S MOTHER]
Do you know what you wish?
Are you certain what you wish
Is what you want?
if you know what you want,
Then make a wish.
Ask the tree,
And you shall have your wish.

[CINDERELLA]
Shiver and quiver, little tree,
Silver and gold throw down on me.
I'm off to get my wish...

Hello, Little Girl

(Johnny Depp)

[WOLF]
Good day, young lady.

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Good day, Mr. Wolf.

[WOLF]
Mmmh...
Unhh...

Look at that flesh,
Pink and plump.
Hello, little girl...

Tender and fresh,
Not one lump.
Hello, little girl...

This one's especially lush,
Delicious...
Mmmh...

Hello, little girl,
What's your rush?
You're missing all the flowers.
The sun won't set for hours,
Take your time.

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Mother said,
"Straight ahead,"
Not to delay or be misled.

[WOLF]
But slow, little girl,
Hark and hush-
The birds are singing sweetly.
You'll miss the birds completely,
You're traveling so fleetly.

Grandmother first,
Then Miss Plump...
What a delectable couple:
Utter perfection-
One brittle, one supple-
One moment, my dear-!

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Mother said,
"Come what may,
Follow the path
And never stray."

[WOLF]
Just so, little girl-
Any path.
So many worth exploring.
Just one would be so boring.
And look what you're ignoring...

Think of those crisp,
Aging bones,
Then something fresh on the palate,
Think of that scrumptious carnality
Twice in one day-!
There's no possible way
To describe what you feel
When you're talking to your meal.

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Mother said
Not to stray.
Still I suppose,
A small delay...
Granny might like
A fresh bouquet...

Goodbye, Mr. Wolf.

[WOLF]
Goodbye, little girl.
And hello...

I Know Things Now

(Lilla Crawford)

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Mother daid,
"Straight ahead,"
Not to delay
or be misled.
I should have heeded
Her advice...
But he seemed so nice.

And he showed me things
Many beautiful things,
That I hadn't thought to explore.
They were off my path,
So I never had dared.
I had been so careful,
I never had cared.
And he made me feel excited-
Well, excited and scared.

When he said, "Come in!"
With that sickening grin,
How could I know what was in store?
Once his teeth were bared,
Though, I really got scared-
Well, excited and scared-
But he drew me close
And he swallowed me down,
Down a dark slimy path
Where lie secrets that I never want to know,
And when everything familiar
Seemed to disappear forever,
At the end of the path
Was Granny once again.

So we wait in the dark
Until someone sets us free,
And we're brought into the light,
And we're back at the start.

And I know things now,
Many valuable things,
That I hadn't known before:
Do not put your faith
In a cape and a hood,
They will not protect you
The way that they should.
And take extra care with starngers,
Even flowers have their dangers.
And though scary is exciting,
Nice is different than good.

Now I know:
Don't be scared.
Granny is right,
Just be prepared.

Isn't it nice to know a lot!
And a little bit not...

A Very Nice Prince

(Anna Kendrick)

CINDERELLA
He's a very nice Prince.

BAKER'S WIFE
And-?

CINDERELLA
And-
It's a very nice ball.

BAKER'S WIFE
And-?

CINDERELLA
And-
When I entered they trumpeted.

BAKER'S WIFE
And-?
The Prince-?

CINDERELLA
Oh, the Prince...

BAKER'S WIFE
Yes, the Prince!

CINDERELLA
Well, he's tall.

BAKER'S WIFE
Is that all?
Did you dance?
Is he charming? They say that he's charming.

CINDERELLA
We did nothing but dance.

BAKER'S WIFE
Yes-? And-?

CINDERELLA
And it made a nice change.

BAKER'S WIFE
No, the Prince!

CINDERELLA
Oh, the Prince...

BAKER'S WIFE
Yes, the Prince.

CINDERELLA
He has charm for a Prince, I guess...

BAKER'S WIFE
Guess?

CINDERELLA
I don't meet a wide range.
And it's all very strange.

BAKER'S WIFE
Why would you run away?

CINDERELLA
It's not quite what I expected.

BAKER'S WIFE
What, princes, and castles, and gowns?

CINDERELLA
I have no experience with those things.

BAKER'S WIFE
But you will return to the festival tomorrow eve?

CINDERELLA
Yes!
No.
I don't know.

BAKER'S WIFE
You don't know?
Oh I wouldn't give to be in your shoes.
Well, your slippers.
As pure as gold.



CINDERELLA
I must get home

BAKER'S WIFE
No, no wait.
I need your shoes.

Milky White.

THE WITCH
One midnight gone.

BAKER'S WIFE
Already?

THE WITCH
Get that cow

Giants in the Sky

(Daniel Huttlestone)

There are giants in the sky,
there are big tall terrible giants in the sky.

When you're way up high and you look below
At the world you left and the things you know
A little more than a glance is enough to show you just how small you are

When you're way up high and you're on your own
In a world like nothing you've ever known
Where the sky is lead and the earth is stone

You're free to do whatever pleases you.
Exploring things you'd never dare 'cause you don't care then suddenly there's a

Big tall terrible giant
at the door.
A big tall terrible lady giant
sweeping the floor.

And she gives you food and she gives you rest
And she draws you close to her giant breast.
And you know things now that you never knew before.
Not 'til the sky

Only just when you've made a friend all
And you know she's big but you don't feel small
Someone bigger than her comes along the hall
to swallow you for lunch

And your heart is lead and your stomach stone
and you're really scared of being all alone
and it's then you miss all the things you've known
And the world you left and the thing you own

The fun is done
You steal what you can and run
And you scramble down and you look below
And the world you know begins to grow

The roof, the house and your mother at the door
The roof, the house and a world you never thought to explore

And you think of all of the things you've seen
And you wish that you could live in between.
And you're back again only different than before
After the sky.

There are giants in the sky.
There are big, tall, terrible, awesome, scary, wonderful giants in the sky.

Agony

(Chris Pine)

[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Did I abuse her
Or show her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I should lose her,
How shall I regain
The heart she has won from me?

Agony!
Beyond power of speech,
When the one thing you want
Is the only thing out of your reach.

[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
High in her tower,
She sits by the hour,
Maintaining her hair.
Blithe and becoming and frequently humming
A lighthearted air:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-

Agony!
Far more painful than yours,
When you know she would go with you
If there only were doors.

[BOTH]
Agony!
Oh, the torture they teach!

[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
What's as intriguing-

[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Or half so fatiguing-

[BOTH]
As what's out of reach?

[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Am I not sensitive,
Clever,
Well-mannered,
Considerate,
Passionate,
Charming,
As kind as I'm handsome
And heir to a throne?

[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
You are everything maidens could wish for!

[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Then why no-?

[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Do I know?

[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
The girl must be mad!

[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
You know nothing of madness
Till you're climbing her hair
And you see her up there
AS you're nearing her,
All the while hearing her:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-

[BOTH]
Agony!

[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Misery!

[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Woe!

[BOTH]
Though it's different for each.

[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE]
Always ten steps behind-

[RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE]
Always ten feet below-

[BOTH]
And she's just out of reach.
Agony
That can cut like a knife!

I must have her to wife.

It Takes Two

(James Corden)

[BAKER'S WIFE]
You've changed.
You're daring.
You're different in the woods.
More sure.
More sharing.
You're getting us through the woods.

If you could see-
You're not the man who started,
And much more openhearted
Than I knew
You to be.

[BAKER]
It takes two.
I thought one was enough,
It's not true:
It takes two of us
You came through
When the journey was rough.
It took you.
It took two of us.

It takes care.
It takes patience and fear and despair
To change.
Though you swear
To change,
Who can tell if you do?
It takes two.

[BAKER'S WIFE]
You've changed.
You're thriving.
There's something about the woods.
Not just
Surviving.
You're blossoming in the woods.

At home I'd fear
We'd stay the same forever.
And then out here-
You're passionate
Charming,
Considerate,
Clever-

[BAKER]
It takes one
To begin, but then once
You've begun,
It takes two of you.

It's no fun,
But what needs to be done
You can do
When there's two of you.

If I dare,
It's because I'm becoming
Aware of us
As a pair of us,
Each accepting a share
Of what's there.

[BOTH]
We've changed.
We're strangers.
I'm meeting you in the woods.
Who minds
What dangers?
I know we'll get past the woods.
And once we're past,
Lets' hope the changes last

Beyond woods,
Beyond witches and slippers and hoods,
Just the two of us-
Beyond lies,
Safe at home with out beautiful prize,
Just the few of us.

It takes trust.
It takes just
A bit more
And we're done.
We want four,
We had none.
We've got three.
We need one.
It takes two.

Stay With Me

(Meryl Streep)

[WITCH]
What did I clearly say?
Children must listen.

[RAPUNZEL]
No, no, please!

[WITCH]
What were you not to do?
Childrem must see-

[RAPUNZEL]
No!

[WITCH]
And learn.

Why could you not obey?
Children should listen.
What have I been to you?
What would you have me be?
Handsome like a Prince?

Ah, but I am old.
I am ugly.
I embarass you.

[RAPUNZEL]
No!

[WITCH]
You are ashamed of me.

[RAPUNZEL]
No!

[WITCH]
You are ashamed.
You don't understand.

[RAPUNZEL]
It was lonely atop that tower.

[WITCH]
I was not company enough?

[RAPUNZEL]
I am no longer a child. I wish to see the world.

[WITCH]
Don't you know what's out there in the world?
Someone has to shield you from the world.
Stay with me.

Princes wait there in the world, it's true.
Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too.
Stay at home.
I am home.

Who out there could love you more than I?
What out there that I cannot supply?
Stay with me.

Stay with me,
The world is dark and wild.
Stay a child while you can be a child.
With me.

On the Steps of the Palace

(Anna Kendrick)

CINDERELLA
He's a very smart Prince,
He's a Prince who prepares.
Knowing this time I'd run from him,
He spread pitch on the stairs.
I was caught unawares.
And I thought: well, he cares-
This is more than just malice.
Better stop and take stock
While you're standing here stuck
On the steps of the palace.

You think, what do you want?
You think, make a decision.
Why not stay and be caught?
You think, well, it's a thought,
What would be his response?
But then what if he knew
Who you were when you know
That you're not what he thinks
That he wants?

And then what if you are?
What a Prince would envision?
Although how can you know
Who you are till you know
What you want, which you don't?
So then which do you pick:
Where you're safe, out of sight,
And yourself, but where everything's wrong?
Or where everything's right
And you know that you'll never belong?

And whichever you pick,
Do it quick,
'Cause you're starting to stick
To the steps of the palace.

It's your first big decision,
The choice isn't easy to make.
To arrive at a ball
Is exciting and all-
Once you're there, though, it's scary.
And it's fun to deceive
When you know you can leave,
But you have to be wary.
There's a lot that's at stake,
But you've stalled long enough,
'Cause you're still standing stuck
In the stuff on the steps...

Better run along home
And avoid the collision.
Even though they don't care,
You'll be better of there
Where there's nothing to choose,
So there's nothing to lose.
So you pry up your shoes.
Then from out of the blue,
And without any guide,
You know what your decision is,
Which is not to decide.
You'll leave him a clue:
For example, a shoe.
And then see what he'll do.

Now it's he and not you
Who is stuck with a shoe,
In a stew, in the goo,
And you've learned something, too,
Something you never knew,
On the steps of the palace.

Careful My Toe

(Christine Baranski)

NARRATOR
As the Prince anxiously waited,
The stepmother took matters and Florinda's foot into her own hands.

FLORINDA
Careful my toe.

THE STEPMOTHER
Darling I know.

FLORINDA
What'll we do?

THE STEPMOTHER
It'll have to go,
But when you're his bride
You can sit or ride,
You'll never need to walk.

FLORINDA
**Scream**

NARRATOR
Minus one toe,
Florinda mounted the Prince's horse,
Unaware of the blood dripping from the slipper.

Lucinda was next.

LUCINDA
Why wont it fit?

THE STEPMOTHER
Darling be still,
Cut off the bit of the heel and it will,
And when you're his wife,
You'll have such a life,
You'll never need to walk.

LUCINDA
**Loud Scream**

NARRATOR
Minus a heel,
Lucinda did her best to swallow the pain.

THE STEPMOTHER
It's a perfect fit your highness.
