Into the woods Act II part 8 

I've seen this several times before, but watching it today on here, I realized what a fantastic acting Kim Crosby does is in this.

Best Parts of the whole show: "I don't have a child." "That's ok too!" and "You can talk to birds?" lol!

This show is GODLY.

Careful before you say "listen to me", children will listen. Wishes come true, not free. Great lines!

i think i've learned EVERYTHING i've ever needed from Sondheim musicals...

I think it's so wonderful how two of the weakest characters who couldn't make up their own minds were guiding the two strongest characters... so sweet... What a wonderful play! I was in the orchestra pit for this-- flute and piccolo... my sister was the stepmother! :)

This musical is true magic! Sondheim always knows how to make an audience cry, eh? He had me going there for a moment... BRAVO to that marvelous cast!

I don't want another mother, I want a friend. And a pet. Lovely

I absolutely love the song Children Will Listen!

I cry every single time I watch this... EVERY time! It's so sad, and all of the actors are amazing beyond belief!

This musical is beautiful. It makes me cry sometimes.

That usually happens for most shows. People clap more for the parts they see as "better" for whatever reasons they have. Plus Bernadette Peters is beyond amazing (the witch). Also the curtain call tends to be organized by part, going from smaller and/or less important roles up to the biggest/most important character.

when she says "hold him to the light now" i half expected him to lift the baby up like lion king

aurgh that was beautiful i have tears on my cheeks! how ilove this musical! and bernadette!!

I love this show

6:05 The look Joanna has and how it slowly developes into a small smile... It's haunting and makes me cry. It's perfect.

this play likes it when the drama interupts the songs. Cool little tree-swing-thingy!

Thank you soooo much for posting this i love this play "ill be ur mother now" HA HA HA = D

Absolutly hes the best and this is my favorite...he rocks: Sweeney Todd Candide West Side Story... The Mans A Genius

Cinderella looks very pretty at 0:43 seconds. And Danielle Ferlands' (Little Red) teras are real in that scene. There must have been such emotion in the atmosphere.

Oooh, Bower as Jekyll would be fun. :) And no better way to stretch an actor's legs than to have him play both hero AND villain.

I saw Chip Zien as Thenardier in Les Mis last year. He was good, but The Baker is definitely his role.

Amen to that Dragonfire909. Thank you again, Alexisme.

we did this whole musical at our school. it was great. a lot of things messed up though. like the golden agg broke and things like that. it just made it even more funny because we had to add lib to make up for it.

2:48-2:55 Rapunzel unable to think of anything to say was Lol worthy.

I most definitely agree with you... The Brothers Grimm definitely collected a lot of rather morbid tales... But you learn something from them at least ^_^

I love the finale!! the last 10 minutes are serious magic.

Thank you so much for posting this. I used to watch it on tape when I was a kid all the time. Favorite :)

Awesome! I've always wanted to see this play with the original Broadway cast. This cast is definitely one of the best casts I've ever seen. Thanks for posting!

Bravo!Sondheim a genious again!His work is genious!Especially Sweeney Todd!Seriously watch that!This and that show are amazing!

Absolutely amazing.

I kind of knew that the baker and Cinderella would end up together, and that Jack and Little Red would, too. And that was the first time I ever saw this.

this is by far the best musical by Sondheim.

dude... i just noticed the witch is really pretty... :D

Thank you so much for posting the rest of it!! I am glad to have finally seen it, it was great!!

Bernadette Peters is AMAZING. I think "Children will Listen" is one of her best songs. Along with "Move On" from Sunday in the Park with George.

I cried... What can I say??? It was sad!!!

Our school did this musical three years ago. I never saw it, though. Although, I was even more interested when I discovered that it was a Stephen Sondheim production. Sweeney Todd (the film)was what I saw first. It's excellent, as is this musical. Heck! Who am I kidding? I just love musicals!

Wonderful. I wish I was in their places. Acting, now that's a career.

Thank you so much for posting this! I'm so glad that I finally got to see it!

Thanks for posting! I'm auditioning for it, and thanks to you I was finally able to see the whole thing.

this play follows closer to the original Brother's Grimm Fairy Tales then the "Disney" movies of the stories are.

I love this musical! I always cry at the end. It's just such a powerful story and funny too! I've been trying to convince my director to do this one next year, but he never seems to listen. Hopefully next year!

it's just u! just kidding! but wouldn't the baker and cinderella make a cute couple too? also, this is one of the best musicals that i know! i love how the actors/actresses would come out and say a quote or something. thanks for posting this, alexisme89! i finally got to c the whole thing!

yea. thanks for posting. i am looking forward to more of your postings.

fantastic! loved it

This musical. Is. AMAZING. OMGWTFBBQ.

This is AMAZING thanks

Sondheim did Sweeney Todd?! No way! That's my other favorite musical!!

yeah, He would really do well in Confronation. I can just imagine him right now fighting an uglier version of himself in the lab.

Yeah!!!

amazingly great

This is a brilliant musical, and I love it, but I must say it is very very very dark! The first act is all happy and cheery, but act two is so so so dark and has a lot of dark overtones. Still great though.

Well, I'd really like to see Kristin Chenowith and Idina Menzel take up the roles again, since both of them have proven their worth on screen as well as stage, and basically ARE the parts. But I really have no idea on my own.

I think they didn't clap as much as they should have when Chip Zien bowed. he did phenominal!!

we are doing it this year at my school. i play the witch the part is pretty hard. my teacher said it's one of the hardest ones to put on.

omg this is a great musical!! i love it!! :D

Fairy tales can be VERY violent.

Huh. That's an interesting idea... :) But I'm STILL gonna fight for Peters as long as I can! *lol*

right on!

For all you Hardcore "Woods" fans out there, I plan on directing this movie once I make it to Hollywood. You needn't worry that I fuck it up, I've been watching this play ever since I was 5 years old (on a crappy old VHS that I STILL have :P). Rest assured, I'll be fighting as hard as I can to cast Bernadette Peters as the Witch. She's a bit older now, but she's still hot and, come on, who ELSE could play her?

Lol yep.I love it he did that amazing

Well, originally, fairy tales were told to distract children from the harsh lives that they were living, thus violence was not quite so shocking to them. However, in OUR society, I believe children should be spared of violent and morbid themes until later on in life. Then again, that's just my opinion.

what is it with couples? haha.. but ye the baker and cinderella... red and jack... even the baker's wife and the prince... ;D

Beautiful ;_;

I have the same feeling about adapting a certain musical to film-for me, its either Wicked or Jekyll & Hyde. My ideal leads for the two musicals would be Emma Watson and Natalie Portman for Glinda and Elphaba (Harry Potter and Star Wars united!) and Jamie Campbell Bower (Anthony in the Sweeney Todd movie) for Jekyll/Hyde. The latter may be more likely when he matures a few years, but the Wicked leads may be different, but you can't help dreaming, right?

The witch trew away her beans and left the people alone

Susan Sarandon (She kicked ass as Narissa in Enchanted.)

amazing! we're going to do into the woods at my school next year and sondheim is ridiculously hard...

i'm a freshman too. i got cinderella's mother.

Yessireebob!

Either her or the Baker's Wife! lol

me too

Yes the witch is dead (or something like that) and I'm pretty sure that Jack *is* older than little red.

XD Pause at 7:59 and look at Bernadette. LOL

whoa! what fell exactly??? the big thing???

If you watch very closely on "Sometimes the spell may last", you'll see the Mysterious Man in the Narrator's spot, thus loosely explaining the connection between the Narrator and the Mysterious Man!

quoting sondheim, I'd rather have actors who can sing than singers who can act-and I want the whole package. Alright, so my dream leads for Wicked may not be likely or realistic, and it is not a good suggestion (I'm reconsidering that myself). Who would you recommend for Glinda and Elphaba, since my suggestions aren't well liked?

I got The Evil stepother!

im tring out 4 this play at my school

I'd rather see Broadway people doing Broadway leads-even if it is for a movie. Or, at least people who aren't known for gimmicky roles in gimmicky movies.

Hehe But I wouldent say that is my future is that!

i have a few questions is the witch dead and i always thought that jack was older than little red

Hm...we shall continue this discussion over messaging, since I don't want to take up too much space on this page.

That was supposed to be the body of the giant.

i think so.

yeah wow....that would almost ruin it!!! ...poor people in the audience...

What do you mean? Rent conveys a message of licing life at the fullest, along with plenty of other messages. But, I DO agree with you that musicals should have meaning. Poppy little cheese-fest musicals are fun, but they pale in comparison to shows like these.

well I guess they didn't need the narator after all.

b/c youtube only allows you to upload 10 mins of something geez

and a pet...

Hey, hey, hey...whoever gave me a -3, those are only my thoughts, unless someone else has some better suggestions for the leads.

like beat-boxing?

Then what happened to her?

too bad Into the Woods had to compete against Phantom of the Opera for the Tonys-ITW should have won best musical (the 2002 revival is, at best, in my opinion, a make-up for not awarding the original production-it looks like cheap high school production! Unlike this original beauty).

um... musical...

The fuss about what,Sweeney Todd?

Er, sorry, 7:58

foreshadowing for teenage pregnancy. lol

they died
