Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's 1987 classic Into the Woods is the prototypical example of wild but successful ambition in musical theater. Through the lens of traditional fairy tales, it encompasses the fundamental precepts that make us human and how we can use them to construct better communities on the domestic and political levels. Exploring the structure of this magnificent piece tells us a lot not just about musicals, but about the human impact of storytelling.
