Would it be possible to petition for this kind of thing? It's a lot of money, but after seeing that Facebook group get Betty White on SNL I think you can practically accomplish anything. Especially a show that will be mentioned often whenever a show has complicated sets or shaky preview weeks. Boy would I love to hear the songs for myself! (That 9 minute BWW video was not sufficient!!)

Good point about the Witch. I was just doing a reflection and it was one of my observations from my analysis. thanks!

Yes that makes sense. And as for N2N- they've done a pretty good job, regardless of what happened in their back stories, thanks for the example!

Hello,

Didn't quite know how to word the title, but my main question is about whether or not playwrights in interview or article give their characters more of a back story than in the script. A specific example would be the Witch in Into the Woods. I performed the 'rap' in class and had to make up a background for her, which troubled me because I knew that she had a more mysterious and magical past than I could give her.

Hello all,

All the messages of lurking and reluctance to post has finally given me the boost to post something. It's nothing opinionated (thank God, I doubt I can take much heat. You dish what you can take for sure!), just a introduction. I look forward to learning more about past shows, "behind the scenes of Broadway" so to speak, and whether or not my thought disliking Merman are misguided. (probably). Thanks for being what I read is a welcoming board full of hilarious buzz.
