LOlL, I missed this too... however, one thing I liked about the movie (there weren't many aside from the princes) was that one prince was a good guy. He stuck with Rapunzel and they rode off to safety together.
Cutting this from the movie along with Rapunzel going insane and eventually getting killed, ends up making her prince look like the Disney traditional prince who just gives her a happy ending. Which really goes against the original point they were making.
Sorry I didn't mean to spoil the play for you I just assumed everyone watching this had seen the original play. Her death is sad in the play, she really lives a horrible tragic life.
It makes me sad that they left this song out, but when it comes to film, you have to be very mindful of time. When it comes to movie goers and theater goers, they are two very different audiences. Theater goers can and will sit through a 4 hour show, however with film, you're lucky if you can keep the audience entertained for 2 and a half hours. So, although I'm sad that they cut the song, and cut part of Rapunzel's story, it all boils down to time, and picking out the most important plot points and choosing which stories you really want to focus on.
This was desperately needed in the film. Now I know it exists - it makes perfect sense! I did wonder why Rapunzel got the happy ending... she obviously didn't in original! But also, this shows how horrible the Princes are... we really needed this!!!
I know, I didn't really get why rapunzel went off into the woods and we never saw her again, even if they changed the story a little from the musical, I would have liked to have seen what happened when the giant came. Did she get killed? Or did she have two kids like they did in the musical. Ah well, all we can do is wonder x by the way love your videos xx
As someone who didn't see the musical before the film, I too think they should have put this reprise in. It's was so vital to show how they were absolute douches, especially as context to when Cinderella's prince tries to get with the baker's wife which, at the time, I didn't really get.
+Sara Samaletdin you obviously didn't understand the play very well than. Act 1's theme is "HAPPILY EVER AFTER :DDDD" and Act 2's theme is "not really, lol." The princes not truly loving their princesses reflected that theme. Even after Rapunzel dies a gruesome death, he just hops over to Snow White right after like nothing. The princes in the story were written to love the idea of chasing a women more than the idea of keeping one, Rapunzel and her Prince weren't supposed to just have a peachy keen happy flawless life together, it takes away from one of the biggest themes.
Pink Ladies Play and film do not need to be the same to be both great. I do not think you understand adaptions, they do not need to be copies of the original if they work great on their own which the film did, the film benefited from the contrast for the princes and not being as dark with story when there was less humor overall.
In the movie theater, the "Agony" part prompted the most laughs, especially the shirt ripping and leather pants. It's a shame the reprise was cut, but even so the movie was amazing. {sideways smile}
Okay, so I have to share my Into the Woods Story somewhere... So, day 1 during auditions, I didn't think I was going to make it... I had never had to audition before for anything (since I was always just cast in Drama class after auditioning, so I was guaranteed a spot no matter what) so I was so nervous I was shaking as I was filling out my paperwork. This was about three months ago, and I had just graduated. I go in, and I audition for the Wolf. Casting people and directors laughed hysterically at my Wolf audition and I got a callback. I go into the call back and there's a guy there who literally looked exactly like a shorter and broader version of me (or I looked like a taller/longer version of him... whatever you want to call it). They bring us both in at the same time to read some lines. We both looked at each other like we knew EXACTLY what was going on, and we did, because he looked at me and said "They're totally going to have us read the princes dude...". Yep... they did. Next morning, I woke up, looked online, and we were both cast (he was Rapunzel's Prince, I was Cinderella's Prince and the Wolf). Flash forward to two months from then, we're both on stage preforming this. Opening night was awful... since Agony and Agony (reprise) sound so similar, one of us always got something mixed up, but nothing anyone who hadn't watched the play over and over would've noticed. Next two nights were good, but we went a little too fast... none of the lyrics were messed up but again, we went to fast. Finally, during our last performance, the one they were recording none the less, we get both songs perfect, and when it came to the end of this song, we were both overwhelmed with joy. So overwhelmed that I decided I would do something I had never done on stage or in rehearsals... when Rapunzel screamed, I drew my sword and went into almost a complete split and shook my entire body (and plastic sword) like that I had seen a ghost... Rapunzel's prince put his hand on his face slowly which he always did during this part, but this time, I could see that under his hand, he was absolutely about to die laughing... then, he decides to do something he never practiced either... he lets out a giant "UUUUUUUNNNNNGGGGGGHHH" noise before saying "...Rapunzel" and then I thought I almost burst into laughter (I'm sure I'm making a somewhat odd face in the video trying not to die laughing). Now, I will say, after that, that was the loudest clapping I've ever heard during our production... I don't know if it was the sword being drawn, the fact that we were relaxed in the song, our "leaping" onto and off of stage, or Rapunzel's prince's noise, but either way, it was totally worth it.
HAHAHAHA!!!!! i wish i could've seen that! This song (while the reprise maintains an air of crumminess from the fact that the princes are cheating-or trying to-on their wives; though i can almost understand Rapunzel's prince, seeing as she went crazy) is one of my favorites from Into the Woods and (guess what) so is 'Hello Little Girl' by none other than the wolf! i REALLY wish that i could've been in the audience, that sounds hysterical!
I really like the staging of 'Agony' in the film, but the act II reprise is one of my favourite Sondheim lyrics. Cutting it does rather lose the plot - but then thinking what the screenplay did to the narrator I suppose anything goes.
Play video [CINDERELLA'S PRINCE High in a tower- Like yours was, but higher- A beauty asleep. All round the tower A thicket of briar A hundred feet deep. Agony! No frustration mor keen, When the one thing you want Is a thing that you've not even seen. RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE I found a casket Entirely of glass- No, it's unbreakable. Inside- don't ask it- A maiden, alas, Just as unwakable- BOTH What unmistakable agony! Is the way always barred? RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE She has skin white as snow- CINDERELLA'S PRINCE Did you learn her name? RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE No, There's a dwarf standing guard. BOTH Agony! Such that Princes must weep! Always in thrall most To anything almost, Or something asleep. CINDERELLA'S PRINCE If it were not for the thicket- RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE A thicket's no trick. Is it thick? CINDERELLA'S PRINCE It's the thickest. RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE The quickest Is pick it Apart with a stick- CINDERELLA'S PRINCE yes, but even one prick- It's my thing about blood. RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE Well, it's sick! CINDERELLA'S PRINCE It's no sicker Than you thing with dwarves. RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE Dwarfs. CINDERELLA'S PRINCE Dwarfs... RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE Dwarfs are every upsetting. BOTH Not forgetting The tasks unacheivable, Mountains unscalable- If it's conceivable But unavailable, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- Agony! CINDERELLA'S PRINCE Misery! BOTH Not to know what you miss. CINDERELLA'S PRINCE While they lie there for years- RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE And you cry on their biers- BOTH What unbearable bliss! Agony That can cut like a knife! Ah, well, back to my wife...
The Princes are my absolute favorite characters in this play... x'DDD "It's no sicker than your thing with dwarves!" ):< "Dwarfs!" O:< "Dwarfs." |: "Dwarfs are very upsetting!" D:
I and my twin brother are the princes in our schools production of into the woods. I am playing Rapuzels prince and my twin is playing Cinderellas and we just love this song.
I can understand Rapunzels prince. Yes, he is a prick for cheating, but having to deal with someone who was locked in a tower for 14 years in a time without psychologists must be hell. Cinderella's prince is just bored or something
Off-screen characters. It's just to show that once the princes have gotten what they want, they immediately want something else. The one in the tower is a variant of "The Sleeping Beauty", perhaps closest to "Little Briar-Rose" from the Brothers Grimm. The one in the glass casket is Snow White.
Well, the gag is kind of that "Prince Charming" is more of a romantic ideal than anything else. Their whole purpose is to ride in and rescue the girl from her predicament so the story can have a happy place to end. It's all they're really good at. So, it makes sense that they'd always want what they can't have if that's their purpose.
i'm still so sad that this was cut from the movie. i've read a lot of comments that agony is one of the best scenes, so think how great the reprise would have been with chris pine! i've also read that the second half was too dark, so this probably would have made a lot of reviewers happier with it. just saying . . . .
Now if you think the princes are jerks now, then your going to love what Cinderella's prince does to Sleeping Beauty/ Aurora. In some versions when he see's her, instead of waking her up with a kiss, he "sleeps" with her several times. Then he eventually wakes her up. I have a feeling that if the musical had more time, they would have had that version.
I wish they could of got this in the movie. I know it's a long musical so they had to cut it down. I felt it lost some parts of what's so great about it, but I would of loved getting to see Chris Pine and the other prince sing the reprise and everyone realizes they're both a couple of sleezebags. Haha I really would of just loved an Agony reprise, because the film did such a good job with Agony in the first place. 😂
I had the privilege of having a masterclass session in middle school with Chuck Wagner, and I didn't really know who he was at the time. I just remember him mentioning that he did Beauty and the Beast in Toronto the same time I went to see it as a little girl, & it was then I caught the theatre bug. It was only MUCH later I realized how accomplished he was! I recently decided to watch this filmed version of Into the Woods (which I've seen before, but a long time ago!), and realized it was him!
That awkward moment when you realize that Robert Westenberg's Prince also plays the Wolf. *face-palms* It took me quite a few times just today to realize this. I love this reprise, though.
It may have been done that way to hammer in the idea that they're both predatory characters with false promises, where both the women they are involved with end up losing their innocence.
It did make sense to cut this number from the movie. You can't really have Billy Magnussen turn out to be a big enough sleaze for Mackenzie Mauzy to kill herself.
he said biers - those platforms and stands they put a coffin on (modern ones are those shiny silver or gold ones they use to bring the coffin from place to place outside the hearse)
@msBroadwaybabe123 A small correction--it's: "...your thing w. dwarves." "Dwarfs!" "Dwarfs." "Dwarfs are very upsetting." So, prince #1 says the word, misspelled & mispronounced. Prince #2 corrects him, emphatically, & prince #1 then repeats it, correctly this time. Prince #2 then gives his opinion on dwarfs. Just 1 of the many things we can learn by enjoying musical theater. It's not surprising that S. J. Sondheim would teach us such a little lesson, given his punctilious way with language.
Into The Woods is one of Sondheim's and Music Theatre's finest, and songs like this are a perfect case in point. I freaking love the princes. They just crack me up. XD XD XD
I would LOVE to see "It Takes Two" I've always loved Into the woods but i don't have access to the movie, but i was in it in our school play... I was the evil stepmother, sadly. My friend Joey was the baker, and Cormac was Cinderella's prince. They both have amazing voices.
I just got cast as Repunzel's prince on Vashon Island (Shameless advertising from a starving artist) AND I CANT WAIT TO SING THIS GEM OF A SONG! cuz it's hilarious and all ^__^
These actors are the original broadway cast. :) Try searching for the Into the Woods Original Cast. However, I do not know if it's on youtube. But I do know that it's on Netflix, if you have that :)
After seeing the movie first (I know, I know lol but it's true) I really wanted to see a stage performance. Obviously, there were differences. But I do feel removing song and Repunzle's storyline was a mistake. I think it diminishes the meaning/theme of the musical. I feel the movie just made the princes womanizing butt-heads and not "Unhappy husbands regretting settling down." I acknowledge those things seem like they are the same but the princes are not just bouncing from woman to woman, they tried to settle down and thought they would be happy but aren't now. Fantizising and then resolving "ah well, back to my wife" is something I think many many people can relate to.
@sunshineface0014 This version does that as well. Your highschool is probably just skipping the second act completely. (most school versions do, since the second act is so...morbid) (this song is from the second act, its a reprise of the similar song found in the first act)
@WLibysno Really? I thought it would have been from Cinderella. Probably not from Rapunzel, because in her state of mind she probably hit like by mistake.
The fact that the reprise isn't in the 2014 film is more upsetting than dwarfs.
+Rebecca F And dwarfs are very upsetting
LOlL, I missed this too... however, one thing I liked about the movie (there weren't many aside from the princes) was that one prince was a good guy. He stuck with Rapunzel and they rode off to safety together.
BITCH YES
Beck Felter has to be disneyfied
Nothing is more upsetting than dwarves
I was born to be charming, not sincere.
*raised
The other prince was actually pretty nice to Rapunzel
Worrying will do you no good!
LOL One of my favorite lines from this.
Cutting this from the movie along with Rapunzel going insane and eventually getting killed, ends up making her prince look like the Disney traditional prince who just gives her a happy ending. Which really goes against the original point they were making.
Rapunzel dies?!?!?!
That is so sad :(
Sorry I didn't mean to spoil the play for you I just assumed everyone watching this had seen the original play. Her death is sad in the play, she really lives a horrible tragic life.
Oh, no, it's ok. I actually didn't know this was a play till I watched the movie.
It seems like she did, tho. That is so sad :(
Yeah I felt it was a bit too dark for Disney, then I learned that it was actually a play before, then it makes sense :)
It makes me sad that they left this song out, but when it comes to film, you have to be very mindful of time. When it comes to movie goers and theater goers, they are two very different audiences.

Favorite line "Ah well, back to my wife."
"It's my thing about blood-"
"Well it's sick!"
"It's no sicker than your thing with dwarfs!"
"Dwarfs?"
"Dwarfs!"
"Dwarfs are very upsetting."
It's "it's not sicker than your thing with dwarves". Hence the repetition of "Dwarfs!" afterwards. Sondheim is a literary genius.
@@BadFluffy J. R. R. Tolkien would be proud
DiscipleoftheBlueBox, boy oh boy did you miss the point of what your comment is about. Joke went right over your head.
*terrible screaming*
Rapunzel's prince: *sigh, nodding*...Rapunzel
That would be my friend, then me.
Dwarfs are very upsetting.
This was desperately needed in the film. Now I know it exists - it makes perfect sense!
I did wonder why Rapunzel got the happy ending... she obviously didn't in original!

I do not think it was necessary for both Princes to be douches and it is more interesting contrast that things dd not end up the same for them.

"No there's a dwarf standing guard"
I LOST it when Cinderella's prince turned to Rapunzel's Prince, its literally everything
These two are such great characters. And by great characters I mean, "stand closer together so I can smack both of you at once."
yeah i hate these guys too, it's less "I wish they were gone" and more "woah these guys are so shitty hehehe"
In the movie theater, the "Agony" part prompted the most laughs, especially the shirt ripping and leather pants. It's a shame the reprise was cut, but even so the movie was amazing. {sideways smile}
:)
Well I'd always dreamed of seeing George Clooney and Eddie Redmayne singing together on stage.
Except that it's Chuck Wagner and Robert Westenberg The resemblances are definitely uncanny, but you might as well know the truth.
It was a joke, pal.
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one...
Eddie Redmayne was so perfect for the role
I nearly choked from how hard I was laughing at this comment!
those harmonies they did with the repunzel "ah ah ah" melody is so incredible, it really sets the tone for act 2 of the show
I always get so hypnotized by Prince Charming's voice~ It's sooooooooo princely and it doesn't matter if he's speaking or singing!
He was raised to be charming, not sincere.
1:44 is one of my favorite pieces of harmony in anything ever. Gives me chills on the album version, I wish it was longer
"My tower's higher than yours." How very male lol
It's so true
That's the princes for you
I did not get this joke. Now I do.
Power move by Sondheim.
1:35 starts one of my favorite harmony moments of all broadway!
who sings the top harmony in that section? Is it Cinderella's Prince?
MusicForTheSoul101 Nah, Cinderella's Prince sings the lower harmony. At least, that's what I gather after watching this many a time.
Cinderella's prince sings the top. I'm in the show now as Rapunzel's Prince and I sing the bottom :)
“Is it thick?”
“It’s the thickest”
Probably why this wasn’t in the Disney movie
Is it thicc
It's the thicc-est 😜
I did not get that joke originally.
@@TickleMoiPickle123 it's talking about a penis.
Okay, so I have to share my Into the Woods Story somewhere...
So, day 1 during auditions, I didn't think I was going to make it... I had never had to audition before for anything (since I was always just cast in Drama class after auditioning, so I was guaranteed a spot no matter what) so I was so nervous I was shaking as I was filling out my paperwork.

I'm getting it on DVD, and if I can get permission, I might post that part on youtube
I love how Bob sings “deep” …it’s so classically princelike. And I love Chuck’s face as that moment. Just hysterical duo with excellent timing!
Yes the reprise is not in the movie but Agony is so good in the movie it almost makes up for it
My husbands words exactly
I agree... I missed having this in but Agony in the movie was PERFECT. Overall I think they did an awesome job adapting the show.
I really like the staging of 'Agony' in the film, but the act II reprise is one of my favourite Sondheim lyrics.

[CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
High in a tower-
Like yours was, but higher-
A beauty asleep.
All round the tower
A thicket of briar
A hundred feet deep.
Agony!
No frustration mor keen,
When the one thing you want
Is a thing that you've not even seen.
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
I found a casket
Entirely of glass-
No, it's unbreakable.
Inside- don't ask it-
A maiden, alas,
Just as unwakable-
BOTH
What unmistakable agony!
Is the way always barred?
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
She has skin white as snow-
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
Did you learn her name?
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
No,
There's a dwarf standing guard.
BOTH
Agony!
Such that Princes must weep!
Always in thrall most
To anything almost,
Or something asleep.
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
If it were not for the thicket-
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
A thicket's no trick.
Is it thick?
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
It's the thickest.
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
The quickest
Is pick it
Apart with a stick-
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
yes, but even one prick-
It's my thing about blood.
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
Well, it's sick!
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
It's no sicker
Than you thing with dwarves.
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
Dwarfs.
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
Dwarfs...

Dwarfs are every upsetting.
BOTH
Not forgetting
The tasks unacheivable,
Mountains unscalable-
If it's conceivable
But unavailable,
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-
Agony!
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
Misery!
BOTH
Not to know what you miss.
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
While they lie there for years-
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
And you cry on their biers-

What unbearable bliss!

That can cut like a knife!
Ah, well, back to my wife...

The way he says "Rapunzel" at the end is perfect!
I can understand Rapunzels prince. Yes, he is a prick for cheating, but having to deal with someone who was locked in a tower for 14 years in a time without psychologists must be hell. Cinderella's prince is just bored or something
It's a shame the reprise is cut from the movie 😔
Loopyloualways it's because people didn't like Rapunzel going crazy and getting killed and that's basically the reason the prince didn't like her
The entire movie was a shame. My favorite musical butchered
This is one of my favorite performances.
Off-screen characters. It's just to show that once the princes have gotten what they want, they immediately want something else. The one in the tower is a variant of "The Sleeping Beauty", perhaps closest to "Little Briar-Rose" from the Brothers Grimm. The one in the glass casket is Snow White.
Well, the gag is kind of that "Prince Charming" is more of a romantic ideal than anything else.

However, the only way this could have been in the movie is if they'd killed off Rapunzel (as in the play), so it actually would have been even darker.
Also in the movie it's Cinderella not Snow White
Echo notgivingyoumylastname Incorrect. You are thinking of the original Agony, not the reprise. The reprise was simply cut.
+Sueb18631 act 2 was supposed to be dark
Funny how I expected them to suddenly rip their shirts
Didn’t expect it as much as I longed for it
Now if you think the princes are jerks now, then your going to love what Cinderella's prince does to Sleeping Beauty/ Aurora. In some versions when he see's her, instead of waking her up with a kiss, he "sleeps" with her several times. Then he eventually wakes her up. I have a feeling that if the musical had more time, they would have had that version.
I just really really love the harmonies in this song. My favorite musical
We just watched this in drama class and I loved it
I love their voices. Whenever I think of the Agony songs, I always think of them.
I loved seeing this for the first time opening weekend of the OG musical.
Wow what did it feel like? were the laughs in the audience big. How did the songs sound for the first time?
I wish they could of got this in the movie. I know it's a long musical so they had to cut it down. I felt it lost some parts of what's so great about it, but I would of loved getting to see Chris Pine and the other prince sing the reprise and everyone realizes they're both a couple of sleezebags.

I love the blond prince. He's so hilarious between the dwarves and "Rapunzel." and the singing in the first part...
I will forever be salty that they didn't use Eddie Redmayne as the prince in the movie into the woods
One of my all time favorites!!!!
I’m Snow White in this and I’m just flipping dying of laughter right now

That awkward moment when you realize that Robert Westenberg's Prince also plays the Wolf. *face-palms* It took me quite a few times just today to realize this. I love this reprise, though.
It may have been done that way to hammer in the idea that they're both predatory characters with false promises, where both the women they are involved with end up losing their innocence.

If you go back and watch it you’ll find Cinderella’s Prince gagging after he finds blood from the second sister in the shoe
@@h193013 Wow. That's great attention to detail 👏👏👏 Thanks
I dig the funky rift in the last couple seconds.
this was the song that solidified my hatred of these two
seriously like one of the best songs in the musical...
The frequency of their vibrato if perfectly synced
1:31 “Dwarves are very upsetting D:” LMFAO
voices=amazing
i love Robert Westenberg and Chuck Wagner, they have my rollin' evry time i watch this.
It did make sense to cut this number from the movie. You can't really have Billy Magnussen turn out to be a big enough sleaze for Mackenzie Mauzy to kill herself.
FINALLY someone thinks the Same❤😍
Naw, the film shouldn’t have been made.
i love this! the princes are HILARIOUS!
Am I the only one who's strangely entranced by their aaaaahs?

he said biers - those platforms and stands they put a coffin on (modern ones are those shiny silver or gold ones they use to bring the coffin from place to place outside the hearse)
It's a recording of the Broadway cast, available on Netflix, and there is a movie version coming out in 2014
This is the funniest 2 minutes in this whole show
This is my favorite song in the whole show.
@msBroadwaybabe123 A small correction--it's:
"...your thing w. dwarves."
"Dwarfs!"
"Dwarfs."
"Dwarfs are very upsetting."
So, prince #1 says the word, misspelled & mispronounced. Prince #2 corrects him, emphatically, & prince #1 then repeats it, correctly this time. Prince #2 then gives his opinion on dwarfs. Just 1 of the many things we can learn by enjoying musical theater. It's not surprising that S. J. Sondheim would teach us such a little lesson, given his punctilious way with language.
The father of all "first world problems"
I love this play.

*I T S T H E T H I C C E S T*
I love this play
@sunshineface0014
There's two version. One with Rapunzel and Cinderella and one with Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.
My friend was Cinderella's prince, and when it got to "cuts like a knife," he LITERALLY fell to his knees.
it is a movie version. you can find it on netflix
This is a screwed up version of our fairytale and yet I love it.
Into The Woods is one of Sondheim's and Music Theatre's finest, and songs like this are a perfect case in point. I freaking love the princes. They just crack me up. XD XD XD
I would LOVE to see "It Takes Two" I've always loved Into the woods but i don't have access to the movie, but i was in it in our school play... I was the evil stepmother, sadly. My friend Joey was the baker, and Cormac was Cinderella's prince. They both have amazing voices.
This is my favorite song in the entire play.
AAHHHHHHHHH!
.....(sigh) Rapunzel.
you posted that 7 years ago may i just remind you😂
@@lepergorilla8954You posted this 3 years ago, may I just remind you 🤣
Rapunzel's prince always reminds me of Zapp Brannigan, idk why haha
Someone PLEASE post the obc from the first act too! These guys are amazing!
Thank you so much!
i love this play
BEST SONG IN THE MUSICAL!
Is George Clooney and Eddie Redmayne really playing the princes here?
I just got cast as Repunzel's prince on Vashon Island (Shameless advertising from a starving artist) AND I CANT WAIT TO SING THIS GEM OF A SONG! cuz it's hilarious and all ^__^
I'm a decade late but I hope the show went well!
The DVD of the original cast. You can get on amazon. :)
These actors are the original broadway cast. :) Try searching for the Into the Woods Original Cast. However, I do not know if it's on youtube. But I do know that it's on Netflix, if you have that :)
After seeing the movie first (I know, I know lol but it's true) I really wanted to see a stage performance. Obviously, there were differences. But I do feel removing song and Repunzle's storyline was a mistake. I think it diminishes the meaning/theme of the musical. I feel the movie just made the princes womanizing butt-heads and not "Unhappy husbands regretting settling down." I acknowledge those things seem like they are the same but the princes are not just bouncing from woman to woman, they tried to settle down and thought they would be happy but aren't now. Fantizising and then resolving "ah well, back to my wife" is something I think many many people can relate to.
I don't know why people are reaving about how the Movie was good this was the original Broadway play and itw as perfect
So they just go around finding princesses that are unconscious, death or guarded until they found one they could actually reach? And married too 😂😂
it's actually "biers" meaning a funeral bier aka the stand a coffin is on when they are lying in state.
@sunshineface0014 This version does that as well. Your highschool is probably just skipping the second act completely. (most school versions do, since the second act is so...morbid) (this song is from the second act, its a reprise of the similar song found in the first act)
Can you make one where both agony songs are put together in the same video? Thanks.
the thiccest thiccet
*cry*"....rapunzel, god speed to you my brother" "god speed" XD
that awkward moment when you think Rapunzel's prince says he's crying on "beards"...
DWARF! :D
i cannot seem to find the find the orig agony with these two.
@TheUchihaBossMaster the original broadway cast - this is defs the best version I've ever seen of this awesome musical
I saw these same characters in the full play somewhere, but I can't find it anywhere :(
I was bummed that this was cut from the Movie, Still I loved the Movie.
I am so glad I'm doing this! XD
Who did you get cast as?
@WLibysno Really? I thought it would have been from Cinderella. Probably not from Rapunzel, because in her state of mind she probably hit like by mistake.
@berighteous I know Right! Poor Rapunzel just lost her lil mind... =(
