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 the only four survivors of the show and actively participate in defeating the Big Bad.
