Every time I have to use a slotted spoon I hear Jack's mom say "A slotted spoon can catch the potato."
SAME! I did that to my roommate the other night while cooking dinner and he was like, "WTF" lol
Me too hahaha
I say it all the time and no one gets it 😵
After seeing this my mom looked at my dad and said, “a slotted spoon doesn’t hold much soup” when I said something stupid.
That's OK, too.
One thing I love about Steve's musicals is that they are all utterly perfectly cast, and *Into the Woods* is no exception. Fine-tuned perfection.
Many of the roles were written for these actors. Witch, Red, Cinderellas Prince and Jack’s mother ( among the ones I know)- the actors were in Sunday in the Park with George
@@Mxyzptlksacdo you know what I just love it so much it's looks like new DVD releases review history books documentary about biography book club fun more information documentary about biography book of
Joanna Gleason was flawless as the Baker's wife!
Gotta love Bernadette peters. That role was simply meant for her!
It was. Sondheim wrote it with her in mind after working with her in Sunday in the Park with George.
A lot of actors have to try to cry. Red looks like she's trying to not cry.
😭😭😭😭
My parents and I went to see this play at one particular theater. This theater added an interesting detail to the play. It starts off with hearing voices telling a boy how he is not so good which causes him to run away. He crashes the night in an abandoned house. While there, he founds a stack of old fairytales. He grabs out his notebook and decides to combine all the fairytale into one, thus making him the narrator of Into The Woods. Just like in this play, he is sacrificed to the giant's wife. At the end of the play, the boy's father arrives at the abandoned house and finds the boy asleep. He wakes him up and the boy shows his father his notebook. The father begins reading it aloud, just like how the baker begins telling the story at 9:14. The thing is the father is played by the same actor who played the baker. So the baker's story of Into The Woods was a way of the boy can be closer to his father. As the boy and the father leave the abandoned house to go him, the boy turns to the audience and says "I wish!" just like Cinderella at 12:21.
I've seen it done similarly. The Regent's Park Open Air Theatre production (catch it on film if you can - it's excellent!) had a framing story with a runaway boy and his father, and it, too, ended with the father finding his son, who says the line, 'I wish!' at the end.
little staging/choreography choices i read too much into for my heart to handle:
11:19 the baker's wife and the witch linking arms - _"into the woods but mind the past!"_
11:28 the witch reaching backward for jack's hand and him accepting it
11:53 cinderella and the baker's wife passing through the middle - _"into the woods to find there's hope of getting through the journey"_
12:01 the baker carefully slowing his steps as he handles the baby, and the witch appearing to wave him off with glee/encouragement
12:04 cinderella, jack, the baker and his son dancing in a circle... housemates...
12:16 the baker pulling his father back to the ensemble.
I agree. To add
7:00 when little red says she'll be Jack's mother now, her grandmother is behind them looking approvingly
7:43 Cinderella tells the baker there are times she actually enjoys cleaning and they're standing in front of her step mother who squares up like yes you do
I’ve seen this a million and one times and you still pointed out things I’ve never noticed.
Another favorite moment of mine is how Kim Crosby seemingly forgets her line before “I’ll gladly help you with your house”-she’s so in the moment, it’s lovely acting.
@@roninjoey it was intended. This recording was a combination of three special shows put together and the best parts used.
Amazing observation
I did Into the Woods and oh my gosh listening to this I can just hear all my former cast mates and their voices and with that all the memories I had; all the times I laughed where I could breathe among new friends I had the most fun with, my friend and I singing Agony backstage, the baker I secretly admired and wrote a poem for, the days my friend and I would walk around the track and talk about rehearsal, how alive I felt on stage because of how connected I felt to the show and its cast, this show is so special, I was beyond grateful to perform it, now that it is over I feel empty.
All of your effort and passion lives on in your memories, & the hearts of those who were lucky enough to watch the show! 🕊
@@LovelyNayru thank you😭 bless you
"I wish"
"I know"
one of my favorite parts
Breaks my heart everytime
Absolutely beautiful! RIP Steven Sondheim, composers like you deserve all the praise!
I’m so excited to be in this as Rapunzel…well, excited and scared.
Why does this song make me ball up 😭😢
Bernadette should have had more songs. She’s my favorite part in this song. So beautiful
I love how she stayed in character during the finale also. Like maybe she was just tired but she acted very defeated and kinda like she gave up, which is how her character feels at the end. She also had a little bit of sassy rudeness to her. Loved the witch that she created.
When the Baker (Chip Zien) declaims at 7:18: "Oh, no no no no no - no, goodness no - my house is a shambles!" I can't help but think Steve was digging at Frank Rich just a bit!
I'm going to be in it. It's opening on Thursday. SO EXCITED!!!
its been 8 years, did the show go well? lol
I wish I could sweep the sidewalk outside the Theatre
please come back i want to know too
2:05 don't ask me questions, i'm frightened of questions
this had better come to a stop
GOD, I LOVE THIS SHOW
whats funny is the hair color in the production i was in was vice versa Red Riding Hood had dark brown/black hair and cinderella had blonde :P
MrBill0327 in our production its gonna be like this
I don't get Rapunzel's moral at the end
LOL
h193013 she represented an iconic madwoman in literature I guess
The point of the story is the breakdown of morals in general. The first act is all about them learning things, while the second act takes everything they’ve learned and throws it out the window.
Boundary Why?
h193013 because the story is highlighting the progression and change that wishes granted can have on people’s lives. Every action in the musical has a consequence later in the story, whether they were ill intentioned or not. The ultimate lesson Sondheim wants to teach us is, “hey, things are bad right now, and can get worse, but all we can do is move on and prepare for the future.”
The idea of “children” in particular is used a lot. Children are the future, and the only things we leave behind when we die, according to Sondheim, are “children and art” (go watch Sunday In the Park With George, it’s fantastic). All the characters experiences and lessons, instead of being useful to them, will instead be passed down to “the child”, where they will hopeful serve to prevent tragedy in his life.
Boundary I do like Sunday it’s a good show
This was truly an amazing cast, i heard of Joanna, but i didnt know she was so talented, then you have Bernadette Peters rocking the show down
R.I.P. Steven Sondheim!
The profound beauty of this story is overhelming
I’m always surprised that Kim Crawford wasn’t a bigger name. She seemed like the Julia-Louis Dreyfus of musical theater
What a great play. I love it so much. ❤
7:47-10:52 love how it mirrors the opening did you notice that the baker is saying the exact line the narrator did at the start of the show? Pretty moving that he went from letting someone else tell his story to telling it himself. (even if he didn't really have a choice due to certain events...)
Not just the same lines, but the same beats. I love that.
I liked it!! It won me over after a few clips
I feel like this sometimes in my life but if I can take a tiny bit of this scene and put it into my story I think I got a really good ending
I love the mysterious man doing the piece sign at end. I just can't believe I noticed that.
Unpopular opinion: Joanna Gleason was the most talented in this production
The Tony voters agreed with you, lol
Thank you for explaining the appropriate response, and my apologies for not using the correct terms. May your memory be a blessing, Mr. Sondheim!
Perfection.
I love this song!!
I've actually always had an hard crush on this jack
Lowkey thought I was the only one lollll
@@osherratzabi6423 i think i read that he quit performing after
I saw Kim Crosby as the Bakers wife very good!
Joanna Gleason was the Baker's Wife. Kim Crosby was Cinderella.
@@iamirish4361 I saw her in 2011 or 2012 in a regional production.
9:20 Bernadette Peters. Wow.
:wishes come true... not free!"
That's love . Love Burnadette 💖
I love how the giant sounds
The way her voice wavers on "No one is alone" at 8:46 breaks me into pieces.
you shouldn't have cut the part where the casts are bowing to audience
"Jack, your mother is dead"
Bruh you couldve said that better...not straight forward
Eh I don’t think so. Jack was almost an adult. Don’t have to sugarcoat things
Maybe he could have said jack your a big boy now and sometimes your love ones will leave you sonner or later its natural and we need to exept it
Would you rather take off a band-aid a little at a time or all at once? Straightforward is best. It hurts less.
@ConfusedLavender "Jack, your mother is dead"
"She should have died hereafter."
Oops wrong play...
How else could you say it? There was no way to sugarcoat it. He does say it as gently as possible but you can tell it hurts him to say it.
12:20 [CINDERELLA]
I wish
How did i do it? All my family died and i prayed so hard and so much but nobody answered. So i studied and read as much as i could and tried to fill the position till he showed up and everyone believed so much it happened
DVD or netflix
10:50 her switch up makes my heart skip a beat every single time🥵
@h193013 I'm guessing it's keep what you're doing and don't change ways when you're not ready, haha.
I just realized ealized that the Witch doesn't have her cape in the finale.
Writing many of these parts for specific actors made for an amazing original production, but it also means no one else quite holds up. Sure, I’ve seen some great productions of this show- amazing even- but never quite as perfect
I like that because after every production I see I have to come back and watch this one. If I watch the 2014 movie I put this one on right after. Not even Meryl Streep is better than Bernadette in this role
Joanna Weeks is great
that is rhe Spel
then she should have said that instead of singing "aaahaaaha"
Where can the entire show be watched?
Alex this production is available on dvd. I honestly am not sure what the name of the company produced this.
Michael Nally wasn’t it PBS?
It's on RUclips too
I got a copy
I still have my VHS! It says “Image Entertainment”
Did the stepfamily die at the end someone said they starved to death
At the end they say the whole point is everyone who died is making one final appearance before laying to rest so a lot of people have made guesses on how to step family died and I’m pretty sure you’re correct they starved
@@ianhimmelstein5915 I feel like it’s weird how they starved to death after like a day it usually takes 1 or 2 weeks to actually die of starvation but it really depends
@@justanobodyonyoutube3580 It is weird but they did say it first so maybe with a couple days they went without eating before going to hide

The ten Commandments: Will you go to heaven after you die?
"For whoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all" (James 2:10).
You have to face the Holy God on judgment day. He sees lust as adultery (Matt 5:28) and hatred as murder ( 1 John 3:15). Will you be guilty? Jesus took your punishment on the cross, and rose again, defeating death, to save you from Hell. Repent (Luke 13:5) and trust in him today.
" For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life"((John 3:16))
