INTO THE WOODS
Music and Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM
Book by JAMES LAPINE
Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine
Licensed exclusively by Music Theatre International (Australasia). All performance materials supplied by Hal Leonard Australia.
An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Ridinghood? A Prince Charming with a roving eye? A Witch...who raps?
They're all among the cockeyed characters in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's fractured fairy tale. When a Baker and his Wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). Everyone's wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. What begins a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of "The Princess Bride" becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.

Music Theatre @ AIM
The Music Theatre course at AIM is committed to developing an understanding of the broader arena of music theatre. Students are skilled in the four disciplines of singing, dancing, acting and creating, making students what AIM calls in this business - The Quadruple Threat! Music Theatre students develop the ear of a musician, the body awareness of a dancer, the imagination of an actor, the vision of a director and the fortitude of a producer. The singer will come to embrace the music culture at AIM, whilst the dancer and the actor find their singing voice.
The Music Theatre department of AIM are thrilled to be producing this wonderful musical at AIM, with an outstanding array of cast and crew to engage audiences in the wonderful world of Theatre with Music.
she had me at the "boom SPLAT!" with the boot stomp -- also the stereotypical witch voice when she said "I'm the WITCH" was just cherry on top
This is so good. The idea to set the show in a library is truly inspired. The end of the song was surprising and effective.
My favorite thing is that they made the end of the song actually make sense. Instead of just randomly disappearing and mangling the last line of the song, they actually follow the script and give reason to her death. Somehow more climactic with the breathless, "crunch," that just shrieking without meaning, Well done all.
I disagree
In what way did this make more sense? I don’t think it did I think you’re reaching
The witch doesn’t even die though are you for real?
@@hughduffy213 Yeah I know right though in fairness a lot of productions make it look like she does so I can understand the confusion
Actually, if you look at the James Lapine musical book of Into the Woods, it quotes:
“And, despairing that she had ever wished to be a part of this world and its rules, she called out to her Mother in the ether, beseeching her to deliver her from these people, even if it meant punishment with the deformities she had had before. With that, the ground beneath broke open and she sank into it and disappeared, never to be seen again.”
So the explanation is that the Witch throws away the beans so her Mother can get her far away from the rest of the characters using the curse, even if it meant she was punished with age and ugliness the way she was in Act 1 of the show, hence the lyrics: “Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch”.
And with her death? You can see in the passage above that she was dragged beneath the ground by her Mother, which explains why she sinks into the stage, therefore killing her, THEREFORE her Mother “delivering her from these people”.
Because you can’t just guess all of the information above, some productions have her eat the beans (like this one), which, of course, has a much more obvious ending. But, with enough background knowledge, the way the Witch sinks into the ground in a puff of smoke in the other versions makes sense. Hopefully this informed you enough!
Edit: And one more thing. This death doesn’t make any sense because if she had eaten the beans, the beanstalk would have grown inside her and there would have been a new beanstalk. So yeah…
The first verse her tone was perfect. A perfect mocking tone and a perfect facial expression
OMG this role was perfect for her
What a powerful, commanding witch! This was a great performance!
it took me so long to figure out she ate the last bean at that last scene because she wasn't pulling the beans out of anywhere, they just seemed to magically appear in her hands. Otherwise an amazing performance!
This is so underrated
I love the witch and I love that she is surrounded by books. So clever!
By far my favourite into the woods witch ever
Oh my gosh wow, she's incredible!
Really cool how every production has a different interpretation of the final scream.
I like the part where she pulled the knife on the witch
Then she was like “Ha, *pathetic* “ 😂
2:03 I'm the villan of my own story
Do I smell a beautiful Crazy Ex-girlfriend reference?
I legit got chills when they ate that last bean!
Is there a place to see this whole production it looks awesome
every Witch interpretation is different, but all still so great
excelent job
Absolutely stunning with the vocals & acting!! ❤️
Stunning!
She can sing!
I have chills on my whole body oh gods
this was incredible!!!!
Finds nuances I haven't heard before
yas!!!!!!!
costume on point
Wow!!!! Wow!!! She’s amazing! Does someone know her name?
@@katelinkoprivec6792 you are amazing!
ICON
Names please ? So we know who to look out for.
Her name is Katelin Koprivec. Talent to look out for at 19 years old.
I pefer Streep
@@jalynchan3946 good for you. Want a cookie?
I think I prefer this version, Streep underwhelming 🤷♂️
I really dont want to compare and Im fully aware of my bias for Meryl Streep, but I think I liked Meryl singing it more. This womans voice is amazing dont get me wrong, its just missing a kind of... support? that meryl has. But its interesting to see where the song originated. 10/10
meryl streep is the witch in into the woods
this is... kind of a pointless comment
She didn’t support the head of the baby and didn’t seem to understand the subtext of the song. The whole thing was one note
I think Meryl was better.
Guess you gotta go move this comment to one of the videos where Meryl is the one singing, bc this isn't Meryl. Lol.
