In search of their happiness, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and co. set off into the forest: this is where their wishes are to come true. Many turbulences, absurd encounters and moral entanglements later, they reach their happy ending - but at what cost? In Stephen Sondheim's madcap cult musical, Grimm's most famous characters come together. With ambiguous humour, the Broadway hit continues where the fairy tale ends. Martin G. Berger returns to Theater Basel after his acclaimed productions of 'A Cage Full of Fools - La cage aux folles' and 'Lady in the Dark'.
