The woods are just trees, the trees are just wood
The first time I ever heard of Into the Woods was attending a production at the high school where my mother works when I was about 12 (my brother who is three years younger than me was also present). Fortunately for my parents, I was a clueless kid who didn't pick up on any of the innuendo. I don't have any memories of the production itself.
A few months ago I found a CD of the original cast recording and had fun listening to it. The other day, I found out that Netflix has a movie of the original production. My mother and I had a great time watching it. As we got farther in, she thinks her school probably performed only Act 1. (In my opinion, a production of Into the Woods using only Act 1 makes as little sense as watching only the first season of Princess Tutu.)
Some other reactions:
Can't stop laughing at the the Wolf’s costume; (besides the obvious) did the actor have trouble singing around that snout?
Bernadette Peters!
The "Agony" songs will always make me laugh.
I love this musical.
