Into The Woods

[leia131]

So I took Ari, Hannah, Kristen, and Renee to see Into the Woods today. It was quite good. The play itself is pretty good, but these people at St. Mike's that did it were phenominal.

The only thing that bugs me is what happened to the Baker's Wife in act 2. I didn't like how she was used by the prince and then she died. That wasn't fair. I'm also being haunted by the suspicion that I don't really get the point of the whole thing, so if anyone has any insights...

Besides that I really liked Little Red Riding Hood, and the Witch, and the Baker was cute. Hee hee hee.

Then we all went to dinner at Sweetwaters, which was also phenominal, and then home. And we tortured my poor mother all the way there and back with our crazy music and bad singing. Ha ha ha.

So I had a good day.

"I was trained to be chaming, not sincere!" So true.

Today I love The Calling, because I remembered who they are

Today I hate giants

Indeed...I think it's kind of an underlying thing that she wanted a prince. In "A Very Nice Prince" she keeps asking Cinderella about the prince and then they both sing "he's a very nice prince" the Baker's Wife is all whimsical and Cinderella is all confused. Then she says "What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes"

I'm sorry...I'm awful...but I do sooo love this musical and there are so many subtext kind of things that you have to look for. The Baker's Wife claims she doesn't wish...."Just within reason" but she obviously pines for the prince....sigh....oh I love this musical.

I get involved...I'm like analyzing a novel...I feel like Mr. French....hehe....
