Fuck Yeah Stephen Sondheim

“Interesting Questions,” a song cut from Into the Woods. For all you out there wondering why the narrator doesn’t get to sing… it wasn’t always that way. (This song occurred at the moment when the rest of the cast turns on him and throws him to the giant.)
And here we go, starting off the night with thanks to Stephen Sondheim for making Audra McDonald sing something that is NOT by the Witch in Into the Woods: she singing Moments in the Woods tonight.
If Les Misérables is my first and most obsessive musical fandom, Into the Woods is my favourite musical. Does that make sense?
The small Fiasco Theater ensemble is bringing its stripped-down approach to the Stephen Sondheim-James Lapine musical Into the Woods.
Cheyenne Jackson (as Cinderella) performs “No One is Alone” from Into the Woods at MCC Theater’s Miscast - 3.4.13

Mostly reblogging so I can once again get a little sentimental about our FYSS Day at Into the Woods, which I think as years progress will be proven to have been a life-changing day for many of its participants. I know that sounds hyperbolic, and I am loathe to participate in hyperbole, but I am increasingly convinced it’s true.
George Blagden, who plays Grantaire in the film version of Les Misérables, singing “Giants in the Sky” from Into the Woods.
Ellen Foley, who was the final actress to portray the witch in the original Broadway production of Into the Woods — and, incidentally, the one I saw on my very first trip to Broadway — performs “Last Midnight.”
You are more likely to be familiar with Foley as Meatloaf’s duet partner in “Paradise By The Dashboard Light.”
(Thanks to Jo for helping me relive my childhood with this recording.)
Marin Mazzie & Gregg Edelman sing “Any Moment/ Moments In The Woods” from Into the Woods in a 2005 concert with the Boston Pops.
Into the Woods + Gregg Edelman makes me miss the FYSS meetup!
but also wow her Moments in the Woods… her voice continues to grow on me more and more
Marin is perfect. This is divine.
I miss our FYSS meetup, too! (which now appears to be KYSS, which I love even more. “Krup you!” is one of my favorite Sondheim coinages EVER)
Different blogs. Don’t get us confused.
Also, I think I was at the concert where this was recorded. It was… not good. (The singers were severely under-rehearsed.)
