I went to see Into The Woods yesterday night and I was just blown away. The sets were great, the costumes were homemade and very beauitful, and the cast was so talented. I felt like I was seeing a real production and not a bunch of high school kids on a stage.
Names you will need to remember:
Olivia Williamson was a spectatular Witch. She has a voice that Bernadette Peters would be impressed by.
Brandon Cahela played the part of the Mysterious Man/Narrator. He was terrific as always and I'm certain he will be on Broadway someday.
Barrie McLain played a great Cinderella. Her voice was amazing and her acting was flawless.
Taylor Trench was believable as the naive Jack. His acting skills and singing voice were in top form.
Chris Blem as the Baker was something great to see. It was my first time seeing him on stage and he awesomed me. This talented guy should be on Broadway.
Ashley Whiting was the Baker's Wife. She was a great singer and an amusing actress.
Jackie Rivera was a entertaining and amusing Little Red. Waving her knife and skipping around stage, she had everyone laughing.
Heather Moats was Rapunzel. Her voice was good, but overused. Her hysterics later on were believable.
Nathaniel Schull played Rapunzel's Prince. It's a rare talent indeed who can make you still love his character, even while he's singing about wanting to stray from his wife.
Kevin Nulph was Cinderella's Prince. As charming a stage presence as you could get, you were hardly surprised when the Baker's Wife succumbed to him.
All in all, the performance was very enjoyable and I expect great things from these talents.

5. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys
