Some honorable mentions are Meryl Streep, who gave a brilliant performance as the witch and Anna Kendrick, who nailed her singing parts as Cinderella.

Into the Woods revolves around a baker and his wife, whose only wish is to have a child. This is impossible since there is a family curse placed upon the baker. The couple makes a deal with a witch in order to lift the family curse. They must venture into the woods and obtain four items before the night of the blue moon. Through their journey through the woods, the couple encounters Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack, and Little Red Riding Hood.
