The 'woods' is a great place to start. Come on, cut me some slack...I've never dissected Sondheim shows past Sweeney Todd. This show never got to me. My favorite moment in the movie was hearing the waltz to my all-time favorite musical, A Little Night Music, coming from the palace.
I know the show has many metaphors in it. The only one I know really well is the wolf being a metaphor for men and Red Riding Hood straying from the path to the wolf is sort of discovering the opposite sex...am I right? Could someone help me out a bit? What are other metaphors in the show?
I own EVERY recording of ALNM, my favorite of all time, and nothing beats the OBC!!! It would have been nice if the New York City Opera were able to do a recording of their famed production. Hermione Gringold is hard to beat, but Regina Resnik was able to do it!!!
I hope they put "Tomorrow" IN the actual film...until the original film. I, for one, am glad that Willow Smith is out of the project and the little Oscar-nominee...not even going to attempt to spell it...is in :)
Thank you guys for sharing! I predict Emmy Awards for Mark Ruffalo, Matt Bomer and Julia Roberts on acting. So...this originally came out when? 1985?!? Can you guys talk about what that meant to see something then? RENT, Angels in America and the slew of films "It's my Party" came out in the 1990's...so what was the significance of the Original Normal Heart in the 1980's?
Such a shame it's not on the main broadcast...things like Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin presenting Robert Altman with his Honorary Oscar and Blake Edwards receiving his were some of the best moments of the Academy Awards in recent years.
I sure as hell hope you don't have to return the scripts...which we are still waiting for the other half to arrive. R and H won't send anything until a certain date...so I just gave what we had in storage and copied the rest.
