Hello everyone! I'm back! I haven't been online enough to go on youtube, so I'm sorry I haven't posted or replied to anyone. I had a lot of computer issues and lost some files, including my video of Wicked. So here's an important announcement: I AM NOT GOING TO BE UPLOADING THE REST OF WICKED. :( I'm very sorry to those of you who were counting on me, but this was out of my control. I will try and upload some other things soon, so stay tuned. :)
For those of you who are looking for the copy of Wicked that I downloaded, check peer to peer file sharing programs like Ares. That's how I found mine.
A production of Into the Woods I was in did everything in more contemporary costumes; the Baker's Wife was wearing tennis shoes, and when she told Cinderella "Take my shoes - you'll run faster" it got a huge laugh.
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))

This needed to be included in the movie in some capacity. It doesn’t work to have the giant attack immediately after they all get what they want. There needs to be a passage of time to get across the message that humans are never truly content even after they get what they want. That’s my one major gripe with the film.
I prefer the 2002 revival version of the narrator's death. In that version, you can see the shadow of the Giant picking up the narrator then throwing him into the orchestra pit, followed by pages of his book falling down.
I also liked the 2012 Regent’s Park version. In that version of the show, the Giant appears in the background, and you can actually see the narrator being picked up and dropped to his death.
@@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices And it's James Lapine, the same Director/Playwright who collaborated with William Finn on Falsettos(Which Chip Zien, who plays The Baker here, was also involved in). Those who know the ending of THAT show will know what I mean!
Think of this show like Shrek with a South Park level sense of shock and darkness(the way they present the first act, with the stories presented all Disney like in the music and singing only to then show them playing out like the actual Grimm's brothers fairy tales, should give you a clue to how things starts to go wrong when the one person who knows the story is first killed off), or like if Enchanted was rewritten with a more mature edge that didn't involve Giselle simply finding a different Prince Charming to make her new dreams a reality. Fun Fact relating to Enchanted: Amy Adams herself(Giselle) was the Baker's Wife in the Central Park Delacorte Theater production of this show in 2012, along with Donna Murphy(that's right, Mother Gothel) playing The Witch here(fittingly) and Chip Zien(now playing the Mysterious Man)!
Kim Crosby was absolutely lovely as Cinderella. Merle Louise (Cinderella's mother) in her 3rd Sondheim original cast musical. First two: Susan in "Company" and the Beggar Woman in "Sweeney Todd". :)
I saw it in March 1988 with the original cast except Bernadette Peters had already left. It is interesting for me with Joy Franz. The night I saw it she played the stepmother more as befuddled as the whole idea of thinking Cinderella would ever go had never entered her mind. It took her a moment to figure out what the hell Cinderella was talking about. When Stepmother realized it was THE KING'S FESTIVAL, it was in absolute shock and her daughters were already rubbing it in Cinderella's face as she did as well. I got a kick how Jack (Ben Wright) toward over his mother and yet cringed each time his mother became exhausted with him and pinched his ear. Joanna Gleason was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Her comic timing was priceless. She absolutely deserved to win the Tony that year. :)
Witch: Giant's just like us. Only bigger. Much, MUUCH bigger. SOOOO big. That we are just an expendable bug, beneath its feet...BOOM! Crunch. (eats bug and is on her merry way) Baker: O_O Baker's Wife: We are moving! Love it XD
this entire scean is amazing from moment in the woods to when bernadette giving bad news to all the blaming to when bernadette told them to shut up there is just so much emotons
