I did my own interpretation of the show, much to some of my cast members chagrin. Some of them really wanted to do a carbon copy of the video, and I was having none of that. I don't believe in doing carbon copy productions, I like to put my own stamp on a show and challenge myself, and my casts, to find new things in a given text and/or score.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

I'd have liked to see that, Deet. I didn't much like ITW, and I think what I saw was a normal, unimaginative production. It was ages ago, though.

deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

I want to watch the video, but I also want to be surprised and put my own thought into it when the time comes. I'm torn. I've got until spring, though, so it's all good!

It was an okay production - not the best ITW ever, certainly not the worst. I had a fabulous Witch, Baker and Narrator, a good Baker's Wife and two hilarious step sisters. The rest of the cast was average to disappointing. The musical director was more of a control freak than I am, and the score sounded FABULOUS!

I want to design Into The Woods so bad, but only if I have a great director. Deet, do you have any pictures of your production? I'd love to see. Also have you seen pictures of the Stratford Festival's version a few years back. Look it up...you will be very intruiged.

I worry because we don't have enough instrumental talent to have an orchestra. We did Grease with the recorded CD from Sam. French, but I haven't met the director yet. I don't know his style. Basically, I'm just happy we have one right now, and that he's doing a musical. Our school only started doing musicals last year.

I know there are some great bits in it, but it certainly wouldn't be one of my favourite scores. Not sure just how fabulous it can sound.

It can sound amazing when done well. The MD also took the tempi quite fast and the effect was dazzling.
Akiva, I do have pictures somewhere, just not sure where I've stored them.
Oh, and we had a fat Cinderella. She wasn't fat when the production started rehearsal, she was voluptous. But like Jim Broadbent;s character in BULLETS OVER BROADWAY, she dealt with stress by stuffing her face,which I didn't know when we hired her - I'd never worked with her before and the MD wanted her for her voice. As you may have gathered, it was a very stressful production; by the time we opened she had gained about 10 pounds, and her costume had to be let out twice during the run.

*gives Stagey a hug and floats back to talk to Linnie*
Yeah, it was painful. Even more so when the music didn't cue for Mooning, and Roger and I had to ad lib a part that was pretty impossible to ad lib. Ugh.

But Grease doesn't even need a big band, a small keyboard-guitar-drums set up would suffice! How hard can it be to find a few musicians and few bob to pay 'em? CDs are stealing our jobs! STRIKE!!!

Sorry, doll. How about you fly over and play for us?
It doesn't make me any happier. I hate sounding like I'm singing to cheap karaoke.

I just hate tracking.
And if you don't remember, my piano skills aren't even at that level! (Not that that level is particularl high). But if you were doing Sweeney Todd, I play a mean recorder! My clarinet isn't bad.

I thought you were good at piano, but I definitely remember about the recorder! It's so cool, seriously. Nobody I know even touched their recorder's after 3rd grade.

I do my last exam in about April, and then I'll be able to teach. I could go for the Academy's Gold Medal, but I think I might keep that for another time, because I'll be in my last year of school then and I'll need to maximize my results points.

Hey kids! And I mean that literally. That was my shout out to Linnie, Wiz, and DGG!
And hey to all the non-kids also! Deet, it feels like we haven't talked in ages!
And was there a Jaily sighting? I was cuddling with somebody, I know that.

I actually played a pretty mean recorded myself back in the day. I even progressed onto a really fancy big one that had brass button-thingys for the bottom two holes. I can also play two at a time, and play from my nose, always a fun party trick.

I used to be able to play Danny Boy on two recorders (Descant and Treble) at the same time, in a lovely harmony, but I can't remember much of it now. I should try figure it out again.
