Donna Murphy is returning to fairy tales and the story of Rapunzel because after all she was the voice of Mother Gothel in "Tangled" and now she's the Witch in Central Park. Anyone else see that?

I don't. Could you explain a little further?

It's purely coincidental, but yes, I am sure the fairy tale connection has been noted by many on the board.

Donna was the voice of Mother Gothel the villianess in Disney's Tangled which is the story of Rapunzel, and now she's playing the Witch in Into the Woods and the Witch in that show is the same one from Rapunzel but with more to do. See it now @themysteriousgrowl?

I think Growl's point is: 2 fairy tale roles hardly constitute a trend.

I know that, I just wanted to know if anyone else realized it.

I realized it. And then shat myself when the realization was really realized.

I'm still having a little trouble with this. Any more?

[ILOHTFAHA (Aida Man)]

What can I say?

[themysteriousgrowl]

Posted: 5/17/12 at 9:50am

I wish I knew.

Just...No More.

Maybe she'll wear a Mother Gothel wig for INTO THE WOODS and really blow your mind.

Thanks for the PM, ILOHTFAHA (Aida Man).

Just the thought of that made me crap myself again.

That sounds amazing. I'll keep trying. I haven't given up yet.

Jordan, I heard they're replacing STAY WITH ME with LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER.
You should be ankle deep by now. : )

Sondheim always said that Rapunzel's Prince is really named Flynn Rider.

Donna Murphy was in Tangled? And now she's doing Into the Woods? Sorry, I don't see it.

Amy Adams was in Enchanted!

[themysteriousgrowl]

Posted: 5/17/12 at 3:09pm

So, soon everything will be fairy tales?

And the Bring It On cheerleaders lived happily ever after, with the help of their fairy godmother, Paula Abdul.

Well Rapunzel is ALSO in Enchanted in a play in Central Park.

[Wynbish]

Posted: 5/17/12 at 3:52pm

And in Nanny Diaries, Donna Murphy played a New York mother. And Central Park, where Rapunzel was in Enchanted, is in New York!

Ah, the circle of life.

Which is from Lion King which is Disney, as is Tangled!

And Bernadette Peters reads "Rapunzel" to her school class in PENNIES FROM HEAVEN. She was the WITCH in INTO THE WOODS and looks a lot like MOTHER GOTHEL who is voiced by Donna Murphy.

Bernadette and Donna were at the Sondheim 80'th Birthday concert.
