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 this musical perform the song “Agony” while trying to one-up each other’s (10[1])love for Cinderella and (10[1])Rapunzel, respectively. For 10 points, name this fairytale-inspired musical (10[1])by Stephen Sondheim. ■END■
