Posted: 7/24/12 at 1:45amYup. Same concept, different designer and execution. The compare/contrast between the two should be interesting.

Please tell me Donna's transformed/beautiful Witch doesn't wear the Velma Kelly bob that Waddingham wore.
I don't see that working on Donna.

This illustration of Amy Adams as The Baker's Wife was featured in a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly. This was at least five or six weeks ago, but is this any hint to her costume in the real production?

Posted: 7/24/12 at 2:03amNot at all. That Baker's Wife looks like she's a bar wench.

How big is the band/orchestra?
That Amy Adams sketch looks like a stripper.
What are they saying with that?

Posted: 7/24/12 at 5:12amFor those those of you interested, I just got in line and there are about 30 to 40 people in line at the moment

Posted: 7/24/12 at 6:39amNote to everyone planning on waiting in line: bring a chair. I feel silly for not having done so.
#84The Public Theatre's Shakespeare/Park presents INTO THE WOODS -- Discussion
Posted: 7/24/12 at 6:59amGot in line around 6 AM, in the 100-150 range of people, we can see the theatre from where we are. They ARE strict especially about sitting on the pavement! But its worth it!!! Happy Waiting in Line!!!

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 7/24/12 at 7:06amJust the opposite, actually. They've requested we stay on the pavement.

Posted: 7/24/12 at 9:00amIs it hopeless to get in line at this point? How many tickets do they give away?
#89The Public Theatre's Shakespeare/Park presents INTO THE WOODS -- Discussion
Posted: 7/24/12 at 9:19amI'm confused. How are they strict about sitting on the pavement? Do they only want you to sit on the pavement or can you sit in a chair? I'm assuming a chair is fine since this is a free country.

Posted: 7/24/12 at 9:29amI think the point is that they don't want people moving over to the grass nearby where it's more comfortable to sit and then getting back on line.
#91The Public Theatre's Shakespeare/Park presents INTO THE WOODS -- Discussion
Posted: 7/24/12 at 9:39amPrecisely so, frogs! sorry for the confusion. Sit on pavement, not on grass. They haven't gotten angry about chairs as long as its on the pavement.

just as jolly1 asked, about how many tickets do they give away in the 1 p.m. distribution? I understand it varies, but I was curious if there was a general estimate. If someone is able to provide a general breakdown/estimates for the following, that would be excellent:
• 1 p.m. tickets in the park
• virtual lottery
• when applicable, the borough vouchers
Thanks!

Had a question regarding virtual ticketing if anyone knows the answer. My girlfriend comes in town in August and really wants to see this show and is willing to camp out if necessary, but obviously winning the virtual lottery would be best case scenario. I also have another friend who wants to go before then. I'm wondering whether winning the lottery once affects your chances for winning again (regardless of how slim the chances are of winning once, much less twice). For example, if I entered and won today, would this reduce or eliminate my chances for winning again in the future?
Thanks in advance!

Based on responses during As You Like It, it appears that it is possible to win the virtual lottery more than once. Just by how this thread has blown up in a few days, I'd say your odds are exponentially worse with Into the Woods, so I wouldn't get my hopes up on winning multiple virtual lotteries.
That said, my hopes are up for winning today!

Posted: 7/24/12 at 10:43amQuick question, I'm planning on camping out for tomorrow's performance, but I cannot stay past 11:00AM (prior conflict). My friend is willing to swap with me then (I'd wait from 6AM to 11AM, she's wait 11AM to 1PM). We're only getting two tickets, would this be okay? I know there's a policy about saving places in line, but since i'm leaving and she's taking my place, do u think the line monitors would be okay with that?

To answer SahDu's question, I have won the virtual lottery twice in the same run, and I know others who have as well. That was last year, and things might have changed. I suggest you take macnyc's advice and contact the Public.
Good luck!
