Story Synopsis

lphonso, the Court Jester, welcomes us to the Land of Faraway. THE FARAWAY ANTHEM presents the lords and ladies of the King’s court. Alphonso introduces us to the story of his gracious Queen Euphemia and his bumbling (but essentially decent) King Bartholomew whose son, Prince Charming, needs to marry a rich princess to save the kingdom from financial ruin. The solution? Advertise! After all, IT’S THE LATEST THING!
he Prince, however, has other plans. He dons a costume and, accompanied by Alphonso, heads outside the castle towards a nearby town drawn by hearing WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE.  From among the village throng (consisting of every Mother Goose and nursery rhyme character imaginable) emerges Claudia, a gentle maid who is the best weaver in the village. Prince Charming realizes that all along he has wanted JUST AN ORDINARY GIRL. 
las, the King and Queen are not inclined to accept an ordinary girl until Claudia's father, the Miller (who sees his chance to make himself wealthy), announces that Claudia can spin flax into fold. Claudia is taken to the castle to prove her skill; the Prince senses trouble.
nter Rumplestiltskin (who was eavesdropping from the shadows), rejoicing that THIS COULD BE MY LUCKY BREAK. He magically materializes before Claudia to “help” spin her golden cloth. Rumplestiltskin makes his evil pact with the desperate Claudia. Having secured her promise to give him a future reward on demand, he agrees to spin the flax into gold, then disappears in a puff of smoke.
naware of the magical pact, the courtiers encourage Claudia but wonder CAN SHE DO IT? When Claudia produces the golden cloth, the King and Queen give their consent and the maid, who is JUST AN ORDINARY GIRL, marries the Prince.
ll is well until the baby Prince is born. Claudia feels the guilt of her dishonesty, fears for what  Rumplestiltskin will ask, and confesses to the Prince. He assures her of his love.
ut, sure enough, Rumplestiltskin appears, reveals that it was he, not Claudia, who spun the golden cloth. He presents his ultimatum as he again vanishes in a puff of smoke—guess his name in three days or the baby Prince is his! The entire court goes into an uproar. Everyone joins into the search, encouraging each other, all the while bewailing that WE'VE GOT TO THINK OF THAT NAME!
lone in his lair, Rumplestiltskin laments his sorry life’s story in RUMPLESTILTSKIN, WHAT A NAME, inadvertently revealing his moniker to the Prince who has followed him. Meanwhile, back at the castle, the courtiers break into a Minuet to try and hide their misery in WE ARE SO UPSET. When Rumplestiltskin returns to the castle three days later, confident of victory, the Prince is able to save Claudia and his son from the Rumple's clutches. Unexpectedly, in the hubbub of the moment, it is discovered that Rumplestiltskin is the son of the King's uncle—and, in fact, is a long lost cousin. So all ends well for the new extended family in the Land of Faraway.
