What about that annoying kid in SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE.

Sure, I know the part is written to be annoying, but cripes...

Makauley Culkin in every movie he's ever been in (including as an adult)

Thank you! I thought I was the only person who couldn't stand Party Monster!

That kid in Sunday in the Park on recording is Danielle Firland - who was Little Red in Into the Woods.

Matilda is Mara Wilson.

And DJ is Michael Fishman. (Annoying????? Personally, I think not...more like eccentricly weird.)

Wow. I didn't know Danielle Firland was that little girl. But I know the role is written to be obnoxious, and the nasal sound in the harmonies of SUNDAY are purposeful, but god did it annoy me...

Danielle Ferland is great! Now -- the Little Red on the London recording of Into the Woods annoyed me. Every time she sang "a few of those PIES" I thought my speakers were going to break.

Calvin...agreed. But I do think Julia McKenzie was an awesome witch on that recording. And Imelda Staunton as the Baker's Wife...PERFECT!!!

Sorry. Threadjack.

Agreed on both. I bought the recording to hear Imelda Staunton but loved Julie McKenzie once I heard her. "Moments in the Woods" makes me laugh every time. "B-b-b-b-but this is not rye-high-hight."

I also like the guy playing the Baker, but I can't think of his name offhand.

One more threadjack moment:

I love Joanna Gleason, but Imelda puts so much more emotion in the song. You understand her confusion, whereas Joanna's lovely singing voice is all you hear.
