Her performance is absolutely perfect. Each comedic beat, each shift of emotion, each realization the character comes to--she portrays them all and navigates her way around Sondheim's tricky lyrics with such natural ease.
Joanna Gleason was born in 1950 and the first Tony awards were in 1947 so it’s very impressive that she won a tony 65 years before they started when she was -62 years old
No because the baker and his wife are of roughly the same age and the baker is only around about a year older than Rapunzel (he was too young to remember his mum being pregnant - hence the "I had a brother?"). Rapunzel and Cinderella are of roughly the same age and the Prince's are of roughly the same age as each other and Cinderella and Rapunzel. Therefore, the Baker, Baker's Wife, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Rapunzel's Prince and Cinderella's Prince are all within about a 3-year age span. So at most, the Baker's wife is 3 years older than him, yet the Prince acts older and is most likely older than Cinderella and the Baker's Wife is most likely older than Rapunzel, meaning that Cinderella's Prince and the Baker's Wife are probably the same age. Do note that this is all speculation and assumptions based on phrases and character personality in the musical, some of it is definitely true like the Baker and Rapunzel being a year apart in age. Feel free to dispute this but I think I'm right (I'm playing the Baker in my school's rendition so I've kind of been forced to learn a lot about this musical, luckily it's a really good musical).
the prince role is meant to be more manipulative/predatory than attractive. the audience isn’t supposed to like him lol. he was raised to be charming not sincere
@@maggiemcfly5267the movie is completely fine imo, it’s doing it’s own thing and I can appreciate that, it’s charming in its own way and the cast is doing a good job overall.
He really hit her with that “This was just a moment in the woods.” 😂 😂 that took me out
The line "I'm in the wrong story" was actually thought up by Joanna!

Dude this musical is lit
I love that she mentions the fact that he's married before she mentions that she is.
She says “with my husband” before the song even starts
There is no topping Joanna Gleason-she and Bernadette Peters have set the bar
"This is ridiculous!, what am I doing here?!, I'm in the wrong story!"
This is the best bit of acting I have ever seen in a theatre production.
I want to play the Baker's Wife so badly
Play her like the prince did 😂
'And a prince for whatever."
3:47 the music perfectly lined up to his head turn lol😂
The Prince is an absolute Chad
HAHAHHAHA I'm so used to seeing Anna Kendrick being sincere. When she says "get up" the tiredness in her voice is palpable XD
"My wishes have just been crushed."
This hits differently now that Chris Pine has been involved with this musical as well as Wish
Joanna Gleason won a Tony for this role in 1888. Her scenes with Chip Zien her husband the baker are good too.

Will Baggett don’t be that grammar nazi. It was obviously a typo. They meant to hit the 9 and not an 8
Wow she must be a vampire, just kidding I love this musical
Oops. I didn’t realize that I had typed 1888. I used to have the play on video and watched it too many times. I love Stephen Sondheim’s work.
That Tony should have been Bernadette's. Gleason was awesome but Peters was unreal, the goddess of theatre.
You didn't leave in the part where she dies immediately after that song
I thought I'd be too much of a spoiler for people who haven't seen this musical :>
you're totally me, replying to people who's comments were written ages ago
Yes, a whole year had passed.
Just get out of the Woo0o0ooOooods
I like hearing the flute in this song👌🏼
This version of the performance of the song would so get cancelled nowadays 😂.
Stephen Sondheim, que maravilla de hombre!!
Best scene ever
Patti, I love you dearly, but this was better than a tap dance in a sailor costume. Joanna was incredible. 1988 Tony well deserved.
He so handsome and charming
Is the Baker's Wife's hair being down during "Moments" supposed to be a metaphor?
It means they just had sex.
They fucked lol
Is this the original cast?
yessir
Oh yeah! the best cast EVER!
You have a princess and i have baker🤔
Emily Blunt does resemble this lady
Would it be too wrong to portray Aqua doing something like this on my fic ? I want to give my "Kingdom Hearts" version a "Grimm Brothers" touch.
1:07
1:10
Is this supposed to be predatory
No. It's supposed to be them willingly breaking their oaths.
is'nt she like 20 years older than him....?
10 maybe?
Emma Fluegel Joanna Gleason is only 3 years older. 😕
Kelly Mo doesn’t she mean the bakers wife is 20 years older than the prince
20? I seriously doubt that; just look at their faces. 20 years is a stretch

HASHTAG #METOO?!???? Get off of her, dude! She did not give consent!
I didn't like this as much as a movie. Chris Pine with so much more flirtatious and attractive.

@@parkertait3639 Couldn’t have said it better myself.
The movie is pretty bad tbh
