    The guy in the background is the star of the show, Tim Realbuto. I'm sorry to say that he was not fan Girling, this is actually a show about his life growing up in the theater and into the woods was the first Broadway show he ever saw, so this is all part of the act. Look at the titles at the end of the video and you'll see Tim's name in giant font. But he and Derek are friends and Tim does love his voice ( and he also loves all of your comments !)

    I interpret the song as a child growing up and going through all of the good, bad, exciting and terrifying experiences of life as he transitions into adulthood, learning from those experiences, and taking them back with him to make the most of the rest of his life. Such a beautiful song. One of Sondheim's best pieces.

    Derek Klena is such a wonderful musical theatre performer. I admire how he can sing with so much expression and emotion, and yet spot on with pitch and diction and sound amazing! He and some of the other young up-and-coming singer-actors give me hope for American musical theatre.
    I'm hopefully going to be singing this song for my Musical Theatre class's gender-bend day. Guaranteed not to sound anywhere near as good as Derek Klena, but I will be listening to this over and over for inspiration.

    This is the best thing ever!!!! I'm crying....he's just so talented. He's been in all of my favorite musicals...Wicked, Dogfight, etc. Then he goes and sings this. Into the Woods is another one of my favorites. I feel happy. 😄😄😄😄😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤

    [JACK]
    There are Giants in the sky!
    There are big tall terrible Giants
    in the sky!
    When you're way up high
    And you look below
    At the world you left
    And the things you know,
    Little more than a glance
    Is enough to show you
    Just how small you are.
    When you're way up high
    And you're on your own
    In a world like none
    That you've ever known,
    Where the sky is lead
    And the earth is stone,
    You're free, to do
    Whatever pleases you,
    Exploring things you'd never dare
    'Cause you don't care,
    When suddenly there's a
    A big tall terrible Giant at the door,
    A big tall terrible lady Giant
    sweeping the floor.
    And she gives you food
    And she gives you rest
    And she draws you close
    To her Giant breast,
    And you know things now
    that you never knew before,
    Not till the sky.
    Only just when you've made
    A friend and all,
    And you know she's big
    But you don't feel small,
    Someone bigger than her
    Comes along the hall
    To swallow you for lunch.
    And you heart is lead
    And your stomach stone
    And you're really scared
    Being all alone...
    And it's then that you miss
    All the things you've known
    And the world you've left
    And the little you own-
    The fun is done.
    You steal what you can and run.
    And you scramble down
    And you look below,
    And the world you know
    Begins to grow:
    The roof, the house, and your Mother at the door.
    The roof, the house and the world you never thought to explore.
    And you think of all of the things you've seen,
    And you wish that you could live in between,
    And you're back again,
    Only different than before,
    After the sky.
    There are Giants in the sky!
    There are big tall terrible awesome scary wonderful
    Giants in the sky!
