I have an idea of how they could tie 'Into the Woods' into OUAT. It involves Rapunzel. In 'The Tower,' Rapunzel mentions that she had lost her brother, while she is the Baker's long-lost sister in 'Into the Woods'. Also, by coincidence or not, the witch in 'Into the Woods' raised Rapunzel and is trying to regain her youth, while in 'Tangled,' Gothel raised Rapunzel so that she could use her hair to stay young, similarly. My theory is that Gothel would replace the witch in 'Into the Woods' and have gained possession of and raised Rapunzel's brother, the Baker, in some plot involving the retainment of her youth. I also think that the character of the Baker's wife could be tied in as an unmarried, forbidden lover whom the Baker had impregnated and so the two are on a quest to escape from Gothel's imprisonment. Since the other main characters in "Into the Woods" already have OUAT counterparts, they would be more likely, in this case, to either be referenced in quotes or appear in minor roles for at least one episode, like Belle in the Frozen flashbacks. Does anyone agree with me?
