Well the thing is a lot more characters die in the play than in the movie. It's never been confirmed by the playwrights, but a lot of people read it as being about the AIDS epidemic, and a huge part of it that it's very random who lives who who dies it's not about being deserving of death or undeserving. So while, if you believe the aids allegory idea, the mother probably did die because she had sex with very promiscuous man, she is not alone (no one is alone!). It seemed less a punishment, given everyone else who dies

There's lot of elements that got cut from the movie that help make the two acts feel more cohesive in the play, (for example there is a reprise of that Agony song you liked where the Princes are now eyeing Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White because they've lost interest in their current wives), but the first act being a complete, "play," or "movie," unto itself is kind of the point. When I first saw it staged, I didn't know going in that it was a two act play and was surprised when the narrator blurted out the words, "to be continued," during the "Ever After," song.

TL;DR as someone who adores the play I found the second half of the movie to be quite unbearable, and would recommend checking out DVD of the play (of course if it's being staged near you, that's even better!)
