Question

A motif in this musical begins with a descending fifth of (read slowly) “A, down to D, E, C-sharp, B” and occurs as a character warns, “Don’t you know what’s out there in (10[1])the world?” The singers of a duet from this musical imagine “what’s intriguing / or half so fatiguing / as what’s out of reach?” In this musical, a character sings about her “first big decision” in abandoning an object on some steps. The (10[1])motif “short D, long E” represents this musical’s closing words, “I wish.” This musical, its composer’s second collaboration with James Lapine, premiered with Joanna Gleason as the Baker’s Wife. Two princes in (10[1])this musical perform the song “Agony” while trying to one-up each other’s love for Cinderella and Rapunzel, respectively. For 10 points, name this fairytale-inspired musical by Stephen Sondheim. ■END■
