    Just as adorable and charming as he was in high school, our class of '65! Love the memories!

    Chip acting like he doesn't recognize Into the woods reminded me of about two weeks ago when i got to meet him and i made him sign my Into the woods libretto which had a picture of the original cast. Upon seeing it he pointed at himself and said "I don't know who that guy is!" he's so hilarious

    11:34 I could listen to him talk about into the woods for forever! It was one of (if not the first) OBCR from a musical that my mom played for me when I was a kid🥹🥹 I loved the story of it so much

      You need to listen to the podcast Giants in the Sky- everything you could ever want to know about the production and every actor in it.

    Chip Zien, thank you for sharing these wonderful stories (I laughed so hard I had tears streaming when you spoke of your Les Mis experience!). You're a terrific storyteller! To me, your performance as The Baker was perfection. Also, I saw Merrily when it was being reworked at La Jolla (I remember seeing Sondheim sitting at the end of my row, long yellow legal pad in hand, taking notes!) -- it was the day the fire alarm accidentally went off during the show. I thought you were fantastic in that production. I wish I could have seen your other theatre performances, including Harmony. May your career continue to flourish for many more years!

    Harmony is an amazing show and I'm really sad it's not getting the run I believe it deserves.

    Chip is the OG Baker and then when Into the Woods was in NYC Central Park he played Cinderella’s Father and the Mysterious Man. I did Into the Woods years ago and miss it a lot

    I saw Chitty Chitty. Every scene had a flub that was so funny. Kevin Cahoon as the child catcher, terrifying! And Raul Esparza singing Hushabye Mountain 🤌🏻✨
