INTO THE WOODS FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)

In Into the Woods, a captivating musical that intertwines multiple fairy tales, we are introduced to a wizardly witch who imposes a daunting challenge on a struggling couple, a childless baker and his wife. This dynamic duo embarks on a treacherous adventure to gather magical items, essential for breaking the curse that has left them without a child.

The narrative uniquely blends elements from various beloved fairy tales, including the stories of Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel. Each character brings their own desires and quests, which intertwine with the baker and his wife's journey. This integration of tales adds depth and richness to the story, allowing for the exploration of themes such as desire, failure, and the complexities of adulthood.

As the couple ventures into the enchanted woods, they must confront not only the physical challenges of their quest but also the emotional barriers that come with their longing for parenthood. The witch, enigmatic and powerful, compels them to retrieve specific items:

A golden slipper from Cinderella

A red cape from Little Red Riding Hood

A cow as white as milk from Jack

A hair as yellow as corn from Rapunzel

Each item serves not only as a means to an end but also as a reflection of the characters' inner struggles and aspirations. For instance, the golden slipper represents dreams and the pursuit of happiness, while the red cape signifies the loss of innocence and the dangers that lurk in the woods.

Throughout their adventure, the baker and his wife encounter a variety of characters who influence their journey:

Cinderella, who grapples with her own struggles after escaping her oppressive household

Jack, the naive but brave boy whose simple wish for adventure leads him to unexpected consequences

Little Red Riding Hood, who transforms from an innocent child to a savvy young woman

Rapunzel, whose story intertwines with themes of captivity and longing for love

As they navigate the woods, they learn valuable lessons about the consequences of their wishes, the importance of community, and the reality that dreams often come with unexpected costs. The rich tapestry of these interconnected tales is brought to life through vibrant music and poignant lyrics that heighten the emotional stakes of the narrative.

Ultimately, Into the Woods is not just a tale of magic and adventure; it is a profound commentary on the human condition, the inevitability of facing our fears, and the realization that every choice we make shapes our destiny. This journey into the heart of the woods serves as a metaphor for self-discovery and growth, making the story resonate with audiences of all ages.

As we reflect on the world of Into the Woods, we are reminded of the intricate web of life, the trials we face, and the enduring hope that guides us towards our desires.

For DVD Player (North American NTSC)

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.

Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.

Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.

We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
