(CBS/AP) NEW YORK - Amy Adams, who played a princess in the film "Enchanted," will be returning to fairy tales this summer, starring opposite Cinderella and a witch.
The Public Theater said Tuesday that the three-time Academy Award nominated actress will play The Baker's Wife in its production of Stephen Sondheim's and James Lapine's "Into the Woods."
The musical is one of two shows the Public will present in Central Park's Delacorte Theatre to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its Shakespeare in the Park series.
