Abstract

The Broadway musical “Into the Woods” is adapted from four classic European fairy tales, which has a strong defamiliarization aesthetic effect. By comparing the intertextuality of narrative discourse and methods in the musical and traditional fairy tales, it can be seen that the composer and director fully utilized the visual-auditory three-dimensional expression discourse, creatively used such artistic techniques as banter, absurd, dialogism, polyphonic and heteroglossia, and created new narrative discourse and form rules for Broadway fairy tale musicals.
