    So. I got emotional as soon as he appeared on screen. It's hard for me to see these legends age. I have him pictured as his original Into The Woods self and it's sad to see time moving on and nothing is forever.

    WHY DID THEY CUT THIS FROM THE MOVIE?!?! Ugh! It makes me so angry. When I did this show, we all used to hang out in the wings just to listen to this every night. (I guess they cut it because Corden played the Baker and the Narrator, but IDC, this is one of Sondheim’s best songs and it’s so perfect for this part of the story.)

      In fact in the movie the soul of the baker’s father appears to him when the baker ran away from the group reminding him to be better than him. While this happens the BG music is an instrumental version of No More
