In this funny, pun-filled version of the classic fairy tale, a hip group of rappers narrates the story, which is told almost completely in verse! Never sing-songy and always entertaining, the rhymes are skillfully woven as the rappers arrange themselves into various set pieces, such as the witch’s wall and the garden that grows all kinds of greens! When a doting husband climbs (and crashes over!) the wall to steal the sought-after garden greens to satisfy his wife’s overpowering craving, the witch demands their unborn baby as her revenge. After all, those garden greens are the witch’s babies, so it’s an even exchange in her eyes! As the story goes, the hen-pecked husband’s hands are tied, so the lovely baby Rapunzel is raised by the witch in an ivory tower. Soon Rapunzel yearns for life beyond her window sill, and when a handsome rescuer appears, her overprotective “adoptive” mother witch fears she will lose her daughter forever.
