- Sondheim's Original Broadway Production of Into The Woods - No More - 1987
Original Broadway production
Into The Woods opened on Broadway at the Martin Beck Theatre on November 5, 1987, and closed on September 3, 1989 after 765 performances. It starred Bernadette Peters, Joanna Gleason, Chip Zien, Kim Crosby, Ben Wright, Danielle Ferland, Chuck Wagner, Merle Louise, Tom Aldredge, and Robert Westenberg. The musical was directed by James Lapine, with musical staging by Lar Lubovitch, settings by Tony Straiges, lighting by Richard Nelson, costumes by Ann Hould-Ward (based on original concepts by Patricia Zipprodt and Ann Hould-Ward), and makeup by Jeff Raum. The original production won the 1988 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award and the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, and the original cast recording won a Grammy Award. The show was nominated for ten Tony Awards, and won three: Best Score (Stephen Sondheim), Best Book (James Lapine) and Best Actress in a Musical (Joanna Gleason).
Peters left the show after almost five months due to a prior commitment to film the movie Slaves of New York.[5] The Witch was then played by: Betsy Joslyn (from March 30, 1988); Phylicia Rashad (from April 14, 1988); Betsy Joslyn (from July 5, 1988); Nancy Dussault (from December 13, 1988); and Ellen Foley (from August 1, 1989 until the closing).
Other cast replacements included Dick Cavett as the Narrator (as of July 19, 1988) (for a temporary engagement after which Tom Aldredge returned), Edmund Lyndeck as the Mysterious Man, Patricia Ben Peterson as Cinderella, LuAnne Ponce returning to the role of Little Red Ridinghood, Jeff Blumenkrantz as Jack, Marin Mazzie as Rapunzel (as of March 7, 1989) and Kay McClelland, Lauren Mitchell, Cynthia Sikes and Mary Gordon Murray as the Baker's Wife.
In 1989, from May 23 to May 25 the full original cast (with the exception of Cindy Robinson as Snow White instead of Jean Kelly) reunited for three performances to tape the musical in its entirety for the Season 10 premiere episode of PBS’s American Playhouse, which first aired on March 15, 1991. The show was filmed professionally with seven cameras on the set of the Martin Beck Theater in front of an audience with certain elements changed from its standard production only slightly for the recording in order to better fit the screen rather than the stage such as the lighting, minor costume differences, and others. There were also pick up shots not filmed in front of an audience for various purposes. This video has since been released on Tape and DVD and on occasion, remastered and re-released.
Tenth Anniversary benefit performances were held on November 9, 1997 at The Broadway Theatre (New York), with most of original cast. Original cast understudies Chuck Wagner and Jeff Blumenkrantz played Cinderella's Prince/Wolf and The Steward in place of Robert Westenburg and Philip Hoffmann and Jonathan Dokuchitz (who joined the broadway production as an understudy in 1989) played Rapunzel's Prince in place of Wagner. This concert featured the duet "Our Little World," written for the first London production of the show.
On November 9, 2014, most of the original cast reunited for two reunion concerts and discussion in Costa Mesa, California. Mo Rocca hosted the reunion and interviewed Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine as well as each cast member. Appearing were Bernadette Peters, Joanna Gleason, Chip Zien, Danielle Ferland, Ben Wright and real life husband and wife, Robert Westenberg and Kim Crosby. The same group presented this discussion/concert on June 21, 2015 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City.

The connection between this song and Sondheim's own relationship with his father only hit me in full force when seeing it live - the magic of theatre.
The movie version omitting this song is a cinema sin
That whole movie is a cinema sin
I mean, putting it in the movie would have meant James Gordon sings it. I rather they omit it than let him ruin it.
@@schripppy agreed. Really don't need the movie at all and only watch the stage version.
Having attended the original Broadway run right behind the pit orchestra ... I just KNEW the movie version would be ... less. Out of curiosity I did listen to ONE number and I went away giggling, never to attempt another watch of another version. THIS cast is perfection. Cannot outdo this. Nope.
I will never forgive them for this!
"the farther you run, the more you feel undefined" is a line I think about a lot. any time I feel like running away from a problem I remember it and it really is the truth each and every time, wow I love this play.
I wish there WAS “no more.” I was I to know, how was I EVER to know”. I. Gonna cry now.
I just saw Chip Zien in Titanic. He’s still got it! 🥰
I have quoted lines from this song to my therapist.
I hope everything is going better for you❤❤
god our theatre group did this two shows ago, i cry every time. every time.
I will never forgive Disney for omitting this from the movie
I know right? I waited through the whole movie for it! I sat there fuming! It's the signature song . Dumb Disney.
I've just been cast as the baker in our upcoming production.... Terrified but excited
you'll do amazing! i played the baker too and it was so much fun
Thank you for including the end of the previous scenes. It sets the context for people who haven't seen the musical. It's my favorite song in the show.
I was ENRAGED when they cut this whole storyline out
He did the same to Nine by cutting “Getting Tall”. Both songs are the thesis statements of the show, and he cut them. Neutered the material. He should be pilloried.
It’s my favorite song, too.
Just got done with this musical, I played the Baker. This song will always have a special place in my heart
I’m playing the mysterious man in my high school’s production this year. This video has helped tremendously!
No way! I'm playing the Baker in my highschool production!!?
My auditions are in june and i think i’m going to go for mysterious man
@@earth3556 Hell yeah I just finished playing him, hope youre enjoying it
When first you appear, you seem mysterious....
SAME
Lyrics
No more questions
Please
No more tests
Comes the day you say, "What for?"
Please-no more
[MYSTERIOUS MAN]
They disappoint
They disappear
They die but they don't...
Ashoka 'Paint' (Live Performance) | Genius Open Mic
[BAKER, spoken]
What?
[MYSTERIOUS MAN]
They disappoint
In turn, I fear
Forgive, though, they won't...
[BAKER]
No more riddles
No more jests
No more curses you can't undo
Left by fathers you never knew
No more quests
No more feelings
Time to shut the door
Just-no more
[MYSTERIOUS MAN]
Running away-let's do it
Free from the ties that bind
No more despair
Or burdens to bear
Out there in the yonder
Running away-go to it
Where did you have in mind?
Have to take care
Unless there's a "where"
You'll only be wandering blind
Just more questions
Different kind
Where are we to go?
Where are we ever to go?
Running away-we'll do it
Why sit around, resigned?
Trouble is, son
The farther you run
The more you'll feel undefined
For what you have left undone
And, more, what you've left behind
We disappoint
We leave a mess
We die but we don't...
[BAKER]
We disappoint
In turn, I guess
Forget, though, we won't...
[BAKER & MYSTERIOUS MAN]
Like father, like son
[The MYSTERIOUS MAN disappears.]
[BAKER]
No more giants
Waging war
Can't we just pursue our lives
With our children and our wives?
Till that happy day arrives
How do you ignore
All the witches
All the curses
All the wolves, all the lies
The false hopes, the goodbyes
The reverses
All the wondering what even worse is
Still in store?
All the children...
All the giants…
No more
This is basically the anthem of the “I am done with today” mentality.
I need to see this show
Bless you for posting this
4:50
Gest
4:40 for me
"No more giants...waging war." Looking at you, Russia.
Until that happy day alives? Only just noticed that.
I think it is happy day arrives
@@ros8986it is, it’s actually *happier* day too. chip zien just made a mistake at this performance, and also sings the word “happy” instead of happier lol
4:50 to 5:34 for me
