Action Girl/Theatre


 * Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella in the fairy tale-based Broadway show Into the Woods. While ACT I isn't very action-oriented, they both (along with male counterparts Jack and The Baker) Took a Level in Badass in ACT II, with Cinderella disguising herself as a peasant, wandering into the woods on her own, and dumping her "Prince Charming" (who actually turned out to not be nearly as good a guy as she thought) and Little Red Riding Hood replacing her red hood with a fur coat from the Wolf the Baker killed, receiving a knife for self-defense, and becoming a Deadpan Snarking, Axe Crazy Girl with Psycho Weapon threatening to gut any potential attackers. Both ladies are among and actively participate in defeating the Big Bad.
