fun video looking at the upcoming Encores! production of Into the Woods. really cool to see Judy Kuhn in the video, I always thought she was probably high on the list of choices for the original cast playing Cinderella and would have done so had Chess not come to Broadway that same season

Not tremendously exciting news. Into the Woods is done all the time. If a good cast recording comes of it, great for fans of the show who want another recording (there are already many of them), I guess.

Well then it’s a good thing nobody is going to force you to go see it.

I suspect "No More" will be particularly emotional/poignant.

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Know it may be on the nose given he already played one of Chip Zien’s other big roles, but I believe Brandon Uranowitz would be a perfect Baker. Also would like to see Jessie Mueller as Baker’s Wife.

Edit: I just realized Uranowitz will be too busy with Assassins. In that case, Santino Fontana would also be a fantastic Baker I imagine.

Maybe they can get Kate Shindle to do Bakers Wife again, as she did in the 2019 Town Hall production. Besides Joanna Gleason, Shindle was far and away the best actress I’ve ever seen play the role. She was phenomenal and I’d love for more people to get to see that.

Thought about it and here’s the actors that I believe are free who I’d want.

The Baker - Santino Fontana
The Baker’s Wife - Jessie Mueller
The Witch - Audra McDonald
The Narrator/Mysterious Man - Boyd Gaines
Cinderella - Betsy Wolfe
Cinderella’s Prince - Will Chase
Jack - Mike Faist
Little Red Riding Hood - Hailey Kilgore

NameGreg...I love your casting suggestion. This Encores could turn into their biggest success since "Sunday in the Park..."

And if it’s any good hopefully it can translate into a new revival.

I agree this could be very big. Everyone loves Into the Woods, and given the number of great showcases it has and the fact that we’re coming out of this dry spell for theatre, they could definitely get some strong, big names here.
