What's your favourite song from Into the Woods? And what character do you think would be the most fun to play? My favourite song's 'Hello Little Girl' ~Julia

To be honest, the only song I know is "Hello, Little Girl" as it is on one of Mr Warlow's CDs.

It would be hard pressed to beat that song anyway

I'm told ITW is a great show. One of my friends was in it a few years ago and she loved doing it.

Hmm.. I think it'd be both renditions of 'Agony' just for the comedy of it all...
and I do love 'On the Steps of the Palace' as well. Would love to play Cinderella.
I don't know that I like the music too much - I find it very repetitive and not especially interesting to listen to - but the lyrics and the characters are great.

I know about 'Hello Little Girl' because of Anthony, I'll admit, but I've been listening to some of the others recently. I'll agree with Lana that there seem to be a lot of repeated themes, but there are repeated themes in Les Mis, too. I wouldn't mind hearing the show straight through (or even better seeing it), because I think I've just been choosing all the songs with similar themes to listen to.

I haven't heard 'Hello little girl', I really don't know Into the Woods that well. One the steps of the palace is a great song, and 'He's a very nice prince' It's such a unique show, but then again I guess it's Sondheim so there's no surprise there.

Forbidden Broadway does a great rip of it called, 'Into the Words' about Sondheim's tendency to put ALOT of meaning into his lyrics, lol...it's hell funny but of course I love the original more

Hmmm . . . it's like picking a favourite child

Hello, Little Girl is good, yes . . . but not the best - though all three soundtrack recordings have terrific versions. Stay With Me (and Lament, but only on the OBC - they cut the best bit of it for the OLC and Revival) is (are) beautiful, as is Last Midnight. Agony (and its reprise) is (are) hilarious . . . No More is also lovely, and No One Is Alone. But, if pressed, I think I would go with Stay With Me. Also, check out Our Little World - not the Revival, the OLC - which is also lovely, but a bit something-and-nothing.

I'd love to play any male character (and most of the females

) but Cinderella's Prince and Narrator/Mysterious Man would be especially fun

Did you get a recording in the end Julia?

I haven't had a chance to get into Borders yet, but hopefully it won't be too long before I get a chance. I finished exams today, so I'm on holidays for the next 4 weeks now.

Ah, Stay With Me. I love that one. I'd forgotten about that.

Definitely one of my favorites, preferably with the Vanessa Williams version of Last Midnight. After all, it has the edits Sondheim made, which I think make it better.

Yes, I'm a Revival Cast fan, but then again, I saw it, fell in love with it, and insisted on my mom buying me tickets for my birthday, which was about four months after I saw it for the first time...
