What a weird choice for Encores.

Posted: 11/18/20 at 2:31pmI dunno. It’s popular and a guaranteed sell out for them which they’ll need. Seems a smart choice, really.

Then why not something like Urinetown? Well-liked AND hasn't had a major production here in a very long time.

I would say Into The Woods fits both those criteria, to an extent. We're 6 years removed from the movie and 5 from the most recent off-Broadway revival.
Maybe this will be how Chad Kimball gets his groove back. Milky White's his best role to date, given that he's in a full body costume and doesn't say anything.

I had this thought while watching Laura Benanti’s concert this weekend, but assumed we wouldn’t get another major production soon. I think she could be quite the excellent Baker’s Wife. Others that jumped to mind were Carmen Cusack or Jessie Mueller.
Would love to see someone like Hailey Kilgore or Denée Benton as Cinderella.
Audra as The Witch would be perfect.

Posted: 11/18/20 at 2:47pmSarna Lapine will probably direct it. Would love to see Betsy Wolf as the bakers wife, but also saw a suggestion for Carmen Cusack and I think that would also be brilliant. Excited for this to happen!

You really think Urinetown is a more well known, well liked and popular show than Into the Woods??

Well, you know I always have to ask it - any chance they could bring Bernadette back for the Witch?

I hope Alice Ripley is The Witch and she does her performance exactly like that last benefit.
Encores Will Present INTO THE WOODS#18
Posted: 11/18/20 at 3:16pmBut seriously though, speaking of that concert - Kate Shindle was the single best Bakers Wife I’ve ever seen, besides Gleason. I’ve never seen one actress even come close to nailing the role the way she did. I’d love to see her tackle it again.

Posted: 11/18/20 at 3:54pmIt is an unusual choice for Encores but it will absolutely sell, which is what they (and every theater) will be looking for in the next couple years.
