***** Agreed. She was the one who made the movie for me. Some interesting notes: She was played by stage actress Lilla Crawford, who played Annie on Broadway at age 11. She auditioned over Skype, was handed the role within two hours, and was on the plane to England the very next day.
This is so much more than a Prologue, obviously. In fourteen minutes, a genius composer and lyricist introduces a large cast, sets the plot in motion including intricate backstory, defines the stakes of failure, offers some poetic images and fiendish counterpoint. Rest In Peace, Maestro Sondheim.
This was actually based off the play "into the woods". I've watched it when I was in elementary and the prolonged song is about the same. Though I do think they made the song much better.
My school is doing this musical and I'm the only viola player in the orchestra doing it and this song alone is 12 pages long out of a 91 page book lol wish me luck
"I have a brother?" "No. But, you had a sister." "Where is she?" "She's MINE, and you will never find her." How broken up can you expect him to be? He only just heard about it.
Her voice is sooooooo beautiful. At 3:00, I just can't help wondering if she can do arias. If the appropriate time ever came where she sings Time to Say Goodbye, or O Mio Babbino Caro, or anything like that, she'd truly lift us all up to heaven. 💓🎶
It really irritates me when people say this story has nothing of value. I'd say the story of the musical really shows that life is hard. Sometimes being selfish or careless can result in terrible things. And it's important to be careful what you wish for. Sometimes one's troubles can really get one down. But if you can bond and fight back you can undo much of the damage caused and live to learn from your mistakes. Really the story has a lot of applicable information for kids and adults. It's a bit dark for little kids, but it was rated PG and anyone who knows anything about Into the Woods, going in, knows it's a mature look on fairytale stories. In a way I value this type of story a lot more than typical Disney animated stories because usually those stories have protagonist characters that make mistakes. But their mistakes almost never lead to permanent trouble. That's not how life always works, and kids should a get a dose of the nastiness of reality. However the story also displays that getting through these nasty troubles is still a possibility. It's also irritating and amusing when people complain that Into the Woods' fairytale stories are inaccurate because they are darker than the Disney versions they're familiar with. Newsflash: The fables originally were written with many of the gruesome details of Into the woods. Including the blinding of the step sisters, the cutting of their toes and heel, and the creepiness of the wolf.

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD] I wish... It's not for me, It's for my Granny in the woods. A loaf of bread, please- To bring my poor old hungry Granny in the woods... Just a loaf of bread, please...

Come along ladies... featured video Jack Johnson, Phoenix, Thirty Seconds to Mars, and Karmin share their most commonly misheard lyrics... featured video Imagine how different these songs might have been! [STEPSISTERS] Yes, Mother. Good luck. [CINDERELLA] Come, little birds, Down from the eaves And the leaves, Over fields, Out of castles and ponds... [JACK] Now, squeeze, pal... [CINDERELLA] Ahhhhhhhhhh... Quick, little birds, Flick through the ashes. Pick and peck, but swiftly, Sift through the ashes, Into the pot... [JACK'S MOTHER] Now listen to me well, son. Milky-White must be taken to market. [JACK] But, mother, no- he's the best cow in the world- [JACK'S MOTHER] Was- She has been dry for weeks now, with no food or money, we've got no choice but to sell her. look at her. [JACK] But, Milky-White's my best friend [JACK'S MOTHER] Look at her... There are bugs on her dugs. There are flies in her eyes. There's a lump on her rump Big enough to be a hump- [JACK] But- [JACK'S MOTHER] We've no time to sit and dither, While her wither's wither with her- And no one keeps a cow for a friend! Sometimes I wonder what's goin' on in that head of yours. [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD] Into the woods, It's time to go, I hate to leave, I have to, though. Into the woods- It's time, and so I must begin my journey. Into the woods And through the trees To where I am Expected ma'am, Into the woods To Grandmother's house- Into the woods To Grandmother's house- [BAKER'S WIFE] Now you're certain of your way? [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD] The way is clear, The light is good, I have no fear, Nor no one should. The woods are just trees, The trees are just wood. I sort of hate to ask it, But do you have a basket? [BAKER'S WIFE] Yes, we do. [BAKER] I don't suppose you're planning on buying any of these- [BAKER'S WIFE] Oh, shhhhh... Now, don't stray and be late, alright? [BAKER] You might save some of those sweets for Granny? Oh my- [BAKER'S WIFE] Just, leave it... [BAKER] She's a thief! [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD] Into the woods And down the dell, The path is straight, I know it well. Into the woods, And who can tell What's waiting on the journey? Into the woods To bring some bread To Granny who Is sick in bed. Never can tell What lies ahead. For all that I know, She's already dead. But into the woods, Into the woods, Into the woods To Grandmother's house And home before dark. [FLORINDA] Cinderella! [LUCINDA] Get up here! [CINDERELLA] Fly, birds, Back to the sky... [FLORINDA] We're waiting! [CINDERELLA] Back to the eaves And the leaves And the fields And the- [FLORINDA] Hurry up and do my hair, Cinderella! Are you really wearing that? [LUCINDA] Here, I found a little tear, Cinderella. Can't you hide it with a hat? [CINDERELLA] You look beautiful. [FLORINDA] I know. [LUCINDA] She means me. [FLORINDA] No she didn't. [CINDERELLA] Mother said be good, Father said be nice, That was always their advice. So be nice, Cinderella, Good, Cinderella, Nice good good nice- [FLORINDA] Tighter! [CINDERELLA] What's the good of being good If everyone is blind Always leaving you behind? Never mind, Cinderella, Kind Cinderella- Nice good nice kind good nice- [FLORINDA] OW- Not that tight! God! [BAKER] Who might that be? [BAKER'S WIFE] We've sold our last loaf of bread! [BAKER] It's the witch from next-door. [BAKER'S WIFE] We have no bread... [WITCH] I don't want your bread... [BAKER] Then what is it you wish? It's not what I wish, It's what you wish. Nothing cooking in that belly now is there? And there will never be, Unless you do exactly as I say. In three days time a blue-moon will appear, Only then can the curse be, undone... [BAKER'S WIFE] What curse? [WITCH] The one I placed on this house. [BAKER] What are you talking about? [WITCH] In the past, when you were no more than a babe, Your father brought his young wife and you to this cottage. They were a lovely couple, But not lovely neighbors. You see... Your mother was with child, And she developed an unusual appetite. She admired my beautiful garden, And she told your father that What she wanted more than anything, In the world, was... Greens, greens, nothing but greens: Parsley, peppers, cabbages and celery, Asparagus and watercress and Fiddleferns and lettuce-! He said, "All right," But it wasn't, quite, 'Cause I caught him in the autumn In my garden one night! He was robbing me, Raping me, Rooting through my rutabaga, Raiding my arugula and Ripping up the rampion My champion! My favorite!- I should have laid a spell on him Right there, I could have turned him into stone Or a dog... Or a chair... But I let him have the rampion- I'd lots to spare. In return, however, I said, "Fair is fair: You can let me have the baby That your wife will bear. And we'll call it square." [BAKER] I had a brother? [WITCH] No. But, you had a sister. [BAKER] Where is she? [WITCH] She's mine now! And you'll never find her, Small price to pay for what Else your father stole from me. It cost me my youth, my beauty. My mother warned me, She would punish me With the curse of ugliness, If I ever lost any of them. [BAKER'S WIFE] Lost what? [WITCH] The beans... [BAKER & WIFE] Beans? [WITCH] The special beans... I'd let him go, I didn't know, he'd stolen my beans. I was watching him crawl, Back over the wall-! Then bang! Crash! A lightning flash! Well, that's another story, Never mind- Anyway, at last The big day came, And I made my claim. "Oh, don't take away the baby," They shrieked and screeched, But I did, And I hid her Where she'll never be reached. And your father cried, And your mother died. When for extra measure- I admit it was a pleasure- I said, "Sorry, I'm still not mollified." And I laid a little spell on them- You, too, son- That your family tree Would always be a barren one... [BAKER] How could you do that? [WITCH] And when your mother died, Your father deserted you. Your father was no father so why should you be? So there's no more fuss And there's no more scenes And my garden thrives- You should see my nectarines! But I'm telling you the same I tell kings and queens: Don't ever never ever Mess around with my greens! Especially the beans. [JACK] Yeah, but why do we have to go to the next village? [JACK'S MOTHER[ Because, everyone in this village, knows the cow hasn't given a drop of milk in weeks. [JACK] That's cheating! [JACK'S MOTHER] We're starving, Jack! Don't you understand that? Now, you're not to accept less than five pounds for her. Are you listening to me? [JACK] Yes. [JACK'S MOTHER] How much are you to ask? [JACK] No more than five pounds. [JACK'S MOTHER] Less than five! [JACK] Than five! [JACK'S MOTHER] Into the woods, The time is now, We have to live, I don't care how. Into the woods to sell the cow, You must begin the journey! Straight to the woods and don't delay- We have to face The marketplace. Into the woods to journey's end- [JACK] Into the woods to sell a friend- [WITCH] You wish to have The curse reversed? I'll need a certain Potion first. Go to the woods and bring me back One: the cow as white as milk, Two: the cape as red as blood, Three: the hair as yellow as corn, Four: the slipper as pure as gold. Bring me these Before the chime Of midnight, In three day's time. Tis' then the blue moon reappears. Which comes but once each hundred years. Just bring them and I guarantee, A child as perfect As child can be. Go to the wood! [STEPMOTHER] Ladies, Our carriage waits. [CINDERELLA] Now may I go to the Festival? [STEPMOTHER] The Festival-? Darling, those nails! Darling, those clothes! Lentils are one thing but Darling, with those, You'd make us the fools of the Festival And mortify the Prince! [CINDERELLA] The Festival lasts three nights. Surely, you could let me be there for one of them. [STEPMOTHER] The King is trying to find his son a wife! Not a scullery maid! We must be gone! GO! [CINDERELLA] I wish- [BAKER'S WIFE] Beans? These must be the witch's beans! We'll take them with us. [BAKER] We? [BAKER'S WIFE] Yes! [BAKER] We? You're not coming, It's not safe out there. [BAKER'S WIFE] I can help you! [BAKER] No! I can do this on my own. The spell is on my house. Only I can lift the spell, The spell is on my house. [BAKER'S WIFE] No, no, the spell is on our house. We must lift the spell together, The spell is on our house! [BAKER] Now tell me what am I to return with? [BAKER'S WIFE] Ugh, You don't remember? The cow as white as milk, The cape as red as blood, The hair as yellow as corn, The slipper as pure as gold- [BAKER] The cow as white as milk, The cape as red as blood, The hair as yellow as corn, The slipper as pure as gold... [CINDERELLA] I still wish to go to the Festival, But how am I ever to get to the Festival? [BAKER] The cow as white as milk, The cape as red as blood, The hair as yellow as corn- [CINDERELLA] I know! I'll visit Mother's grave, The grave at the hazel tree, And tell her I just want to Go to the King's Festival... [BAKER] The slipper as pure as gold... The cow, the cape, The slipper as pure as gold- [BAKER'S WIFE] The hair-! [CINDERELLA & BAKER] Into the woods, It's time to go, It may be all In vain, you/I know. Into the woods- But even so, I have to take the journey. [CINDERELLA, BAKER & WIFE] Into the woods, The path is straight, You know it well, But who can tell- [BAKER & WIFE] Into the woods to lift the spell- [CINDERELLA] Into the woods to visit Mother- [JACK'S MOM] Into the woods to sell the cow! [JACK] To get the money! [CINDERELLA] To go to the Festival! [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD] Into the woods to grandmother's house! [ALL] The way is clear, The light is good, I have no fear, Nor no one should. The woods are just trees, The trees are just wood. No need to be afraid there- [BAKER] There's something in the glade there... [ALL] Into the woods, Without delay, But careful not To lose the way. Into the woods, Who knows what may Be lurking on the journey? Into the woods To get the thing That makes it worth The journeying. into the woods- [STEPMOTHER & STEPSISTERS] To see the King- [JACK & MOTHER] To sell the cow- [BAKER & WIFE] To make the potion- [ALL] To see- To sell- To get- To bring- To make- To lift- To go to the Festival-! Into the woods! Into the woods! Into the woods, Then out of the woods, And home before it's dark! Read more: Into The Woods - Prologue Into The Woods Lyrics | MetroLyrics
I just realized that I think much of the pain in this movie could have been avoided if the baker and his wife had thought to just give the beans back to the witch. Her anger might have been appeased, she might have allowed them to have a child (perhaps not so quick, the normal 9 month method,) the beanstalk wouldn't have grown and Jack would have learned the hard truth that pets get old and die...
You also have to realize that all the information we are given is that if the Witch loses the beans, she's cursed with ugliness. The Witch was desperate to regain her beauty, so wouldn't you think that she would research what could possibly revert her? Her conclusion was a potion. If she thought that the curse would be lifted by regaining the beans, don't you think she'd task the Baker and his Wife with finding them or just rip apart the house as the most likely hiding spot?
So, who's fault was it? The baker who didn't give the beans, the baker's father who took the beans or the witch who put the beans there, or the witch's mother who put the curse on the witch? This is why I love this movie
My brother took me to see Frozen after people told him it had a lot of singing and when he got back he was like, "I knew it had a lot of singing but, SERIOUSLY, that was a lot." Then I asked him to watch Into the Woods with me and I warned him it had a lot of singing, and he said, "I suffered through Frozen, I can definitely get through anything else." The next day my bother started talking to the kid who warned him about Frozen and the kid said, "Oh come on, it can't be worse than Frozen," and my brother asked me to explain to the kid. I said, "Okay, the first 14 1/2 minutes of the movie is one pure song." He responded, "You win."
He should watch Les Miserable that's a full movie with singing in it. Or he should listen to The Great Comet like Les Miserable there's full on singing 24/7.
Lot of it was that the movie needed to be split into 2 movies for Act 1 and Act 2. Many of the reviewers complain about how that 2nd act was rushed and that many things were lost from Stage too screen. I think the movie is okay. Its not perfect and Into the Woods is hard show to nail down if you dont do it right.
@@LegendsP137 It might just be cause I was like 5th grade when i watched the musical but the second act was kinda boring (might just be the show I watched/my age tho
I once went to see this movie online and someone commented 'GREAT MOVIE IT WOULD BE BETTER IF THEY DIDN'T SING THAT MUCH AM I RIGHT ?' and i was like... No? It's a ... musical ?
You are not alone has the best harmony in the entire movie imo. The last two lines of the song "Someone is on your side. You are not alone." Makes me melt every time i hear it
Am I the only one who is very addicted to INTO THE WOODS, that you keep singing every song and every line everyday? Which eventually annoys your teacher and classmates? XD
This movie was the best movie ever ever. The musics are to die for and it's great that it is not a kinda stereotype fairytale movie with stupids happy ending (mariage + eternal love + 1000 childrens). This story is much more subtle and beautiful ! I loved the fact that characters hesitated about their feelings, about what they want or who they love. It's not just poorly Manichean.
Thy Random User Well I think the whole kissing the baker’s wife thing was to show that the Prince is a cheating bastard. The movie doesn’t show it (cuz Disney), but in the play this is based on, they actually commit adultery. Also in the play, by the time the Giant’s Wife comes down, the Prince is already tired of Cinderella and eventually settles down with Sleeping Beauty. Yeah, it’s messed up, but well, that’s the woods for ya!
I was in a cooking class recently and the teacher was like "OK. The beans." and my friend looked at me and whispered "The beans." And then, because I never learned what a socially acceptable volume is when it comes to musicals and public settings, I responded "tHe SpEcIaL bEaNs" and everyone just gave me a blank stare
Something similar happened in my chorus class one time lol. I forget what the context was, but the instructor said "beans" and half the class said "beans??" and without missing a beat I whispered "the special beans" into the silence and everyone turned around to look at me

Liz Jones was that the maker of the movie? cause this was a play long before it was a movie. it pulls to gather the brothers grim fairy tails dark virtions
When I first watched this movie in Disney + I didn't know anything about it so when Cinderella got married I thought it was a beautiful and happy ending... Then I realised I had more than 30 minutes left of movie
Grant Yao oh my you're my husband HAHA okay i kidd. our director is using the original script but she's cutting out a lot of parts. she doesn't like the junior one :)
I participated in a production of this and honestly I love this version too Meryl Streep absolutely slays as the witch and I adore this musical and everything about it
"The songs don't even rhyme!" Um "Darling those nails, darling those clothes The lentils are one thing but darling with those' 'Agony far more painful than yours When you know she'd go with you If there only were doors" "Its the last midnight Its the last wish Its the last midnight Soon it will be boom squish' "Mother said be good Father said be nice That was always there advice' Need I go on?
Also "QUICK, little birds FLICK through the ashes PICK and peck But swiftly SIFT through the ashes Into the pot" And "We've no time to sit and DITHER While her WITHERS WITHER WITH HER" And "But I let him have the rampion I had lots to SPARE In return, however, I said "Fair is FAIR" You can let me have the baby that you wife will BEAR And will call it SQUARE" And "So there's no more fuss And there's no more SCENES And my garden thrives You should see my NECTARINES But I'm telling you the same I tell kings and QUEENS Don't ever never ever mess around with my GREENS! Especially the BEANS" And "So I'll pry up my SHOE... Wait, though, thinking it THROUGH Things don't have to colide I know what my decision is Which is not to decide I'll just leave him a CLUE For example... a SHOE And then see what he'll DO Now is he and not YOU Who is stuck with a SHOE In a STEW In the GOO And you've learned something TOO Something you never KNEW On the steps of the palace" And "Darling, be STILL Cut off a bit of the HEEL And it WILL" And "It's your father's fault That the curse got PLACED And the place got cursed In the first PLACE" And "Plant 'em and they'll SOAR Here you want some MORE? Listen to the ROAR Giants by the SCORE Oh, well, you can blame another witch!"
Absolutely underrated movie, seeing characters in a different way does not detract from the original stories. P.S. Emily Blunt has the voice of an angel.
I love how the baker just says: "It's the witch from next door." It's like, "Yeah, everyone has a witch living next door."
Smitty64 ikr I thought that 😂
Smitty64 SAME
Who's that?! Oh oh it's alright it's just the witch from next door!
i mean yeah, doesnt everyone have a witch for a neighbor?
I think I AM the witch next door to my neighbour 😅😅
The Witch's Rap is life.
Charlotte Faulkes yep
She knows how to bloody spit them bars
yes

i love a queen who raps about veggies
Red Riding Hood is hilarious. I love her lines.
She was one of my favourites in this :P
***** Agreed. She was the one who made the movie for me. Some interesting notes: She was played by stage actress Lilla Crawford, who played Annie on Broadway at age 11. She auditioned over Skype, was handed the role within two hours, and was on the plane to England the very next day.
She's too naive gullible 😊

"For all i can tell she's already dead"😂
This is so much more than a Prologue, obviously. In fourteen minutes, a genius composer and lyricist introduces a large cast, sets the plot in motion including intricate backstory, defines the stakes of failure, offers some poetic images and fiendish counterpoint. Rest In Peace, Maestro Sondheim.
This was actually based off the play "into the woods". I've watched it when I was in elementary and the prolonged song is about the same. Though I do think they made the song much better.
@@chichichichichichiOwO For sure!
"Genius" is putting it lightly, obvi. It's like if ANYone ever understood the human condition, it was this man.
Shut up
The tiny "Nice Cinderella, Good Cinderella" part is so good, could listen to just that part on repeat for sure

That moment when you realize the Baker was probably telling this story to his son...*SOBS VIOLENTLY*
DivaThinMuffinPigeonZappa Probably? He starts doing exactly that at the end of the musical.
But I thought the same thing but some things didn't make sense, like how did he know the Rapunzel and Prince story?
At the end of the movie, they all sit with him as he tells his son the story
2013Fangirl not to be rude but we don't get to see the prince or Rapunzel again and they didn't really interact with the main characters
Dominic Garcia oh. My bad, and you weren't rude. Thanks for clearing that up😉

I want to do a drag performance of the witches part! It’s fabulous!
@@DylanRomanov do places allow gender bending or other people playing the role? I’d love to play little red

"No. But, you had a sister."
"Where is she?"
"She's MINE, and you will never find her."

Is Baker's lost sister Rapunzel? I wanna make sure and I watched the movie today.
kaszpiorek yes
Seriously they never got to see each other lol
Isn’t it rapunzel
"O my, she's a thief!" Lol! 😂😂
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I SAID WHEN I SAW IT IN THE THEATRES
@Sophia Smits yeah😊
Anna Kendrick's voice is amazing. She is the best :)
ikr
No wonder why Anna Kendrick was the lead role in Pitch perfect
YES SHE IS ABC
YES
Her voice is sooooooo beautiful. At 3:00, I just can't help wondering if she can do arias. If the appropriate time ever came where she sings Time to Say Goodbye, or O Mio Babbino Caro, or anything like that, she'd truly lift us all up to heaven. 💓🎶
If this doesn't get you excited to see the movie, than nothing will.
Maren Jensen YUSSSS
ツMiå The Mooseツ I saw it again last night XD
ツMiå The Mooseツ XD YUS
I jusy finished watching the movie its awesome
How do u post the videos from other youtubers?
It really irritates me when people say this story has nothing of value. I'd say the story of the musical really shows that life is hard. Sometimes being selfish or careless can result in terrible things. And it's important to be careful what you wish for. Sometimes one's troubles can really get one down. But if you can bond and fight back you can undo much of the damage caused and live to learn from your mistakes. Really the story has a lot of applicable information for kids and adults. It's a bit dark for little kids, but it was rated PG and anyone who knows anything about Into the Woods, going in, knows it's a mature look on fairytale stories.
In a way I value this type of story a lot more than typical Disney animated stories because usually those stories have protagonist characters that make mistakes. But their mistakes almost never lead to permanent trouble. That's not how life always works, and kids should a get a dose of the nastiness of reality. However the story also displays that getting through these nasty troubles is still a possibility.
It's also irritating and amusing when people complain that Into the Woods' fairytale stories are inaccurate because they are darker than the Disney versions they're familiar with. Newsflash: The fables originally were written with many of the gruesome details of Into the woods. Including the blinding of the step sisters, the cutting of their toes and heel, and the creepiness of the wolf.
this story has nothing of value
hahahaha
i thought this story was always a actions have consequences thing
And Cinderellas Dresses, And the story of Rapunzel’s Birth. (Except the real fable has no beans)
the movie wasn't that good, just a game of tag, IMO
Into the woods
[NARRATOR]
Once upon a time
In a far-off kingdom
There lay a small village
At the edge of the woods
[CINDERELLA]
I wish...
[NARRATOR]
And in this village
[CINDERELLA]
More than anything...
[NARRATOR]
lived a young maiden,
[CINDERELLA]
More than life...
More than jewels...
[NARRATOR]
A carefree young lad...
[JACK]
I wish...
More than life...
[NARRATOR]
And a childless baker...
[BAKER & WIFE]
I wish...
[NARRATOR]
with his wife.
[BAKER]
More than anything...
[WIFE]More than the moon...
[BAKER'S WIFE]
I wish...
[CINDERELLA]
The King is giving a Festival.
[BAKER & WIFE]
More than life...
[JACK]
I wish...
[CINDERELLA]
I wish to go to the Festival.
[BAKER & WIFE]
More than riches...
[CINDERELLA]
and the ball...
[JACK]
I wish my cow would
give us some milk.
[CINDERELLA & BAKER'S WIFE]
More than anything...
[BAKER]
I wish we had a child.
[JACK]
Please, pal-
[BAKER'S WIFE]
I want a child...
[JACK]
Squeeze, pal...
[CINDERELLA]
I wish to go to the Festival.
[JACK]
I wish you'd give us some
milk or even cheese...
I wish...
[BAKER & WIFE]
I wish we might have a child.
I wish...
[STEPMOTHER]
You wish to go to the Festival?
[NARRATOR]
The poor girl's parents had died,
[STEPMOTHER]
You, Cinderella, the Festival?
You wish to go to the Festival?
[FLORINDA]
What, you, Cinderella, the Festival?
The Festival?!
[LUCINDA]
What, you wish to go to the Festival?
[ALL THREE]
The Festival?
The King's Festival?
[NARRATOR]
And now she lived with her stepmother
[STEPMOTHER]
The Festival...HA!
[NARRATOR]
who had two daughters of her own.
[FLORINDA]
Look at your nails!
[LUCINDA]
Look at your dress!
[STEPMOTHER]
People would laugh at you-
[CINDERELLA]
Nevertheless,
I still want to go to the Festival
And dance before the Prince.
[STEPMOTHER & STEPSISTERS]
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
All three were beautiful of face, but vile and black of heart.
The young lad had no father and his mother-
[JACK'S MOTHER]
I wish...
[NARRATOR]
Well, she was at her wit's end-
[JACK'S MOTHER]
I wish my son were not a fool.
I wish my house was not a mess.
I wish the cow was full of milk.
I wish the walls were full of gold-
I wish a lot of things...
What in heaven's name are you doing
with the cow inside the house?
[JACK]
I thought if he got nice and warm,
he might produce some milk.
[JACK'S MOTHER]
It's a she...
How many times do I have to tell you,
only shes can give milk?
[NARRATOR]
And then there was a hungry little girl
who always wore a red cape.
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
I wish...
It's not for me,
It's for my Granny in the woods.
A loaf of bread, please-
To bring my poor old hungry
Granny in the woods...
Just a loaf of bread, please...
[STEPMOTHER]
Cinderella, if you can pick up these lentils,
and finish your chores in time,
then you may go to the ball with us.
Come along ladies...

Imagine how different these songs might have been!
[STEPSISTERS]
Yes, Mother.
Good luck.
[CINDERELLA]
Come, little birds,
Down from the eaves
And the leaves,
Over fields,
Out of castles and ponds...
[JACK]
Now, squeeze, pal...
[CINDERELLA]
Ahhhhhhhhhh...
Quick, little birds,
Flick through the ashes.
Pick and peck, but swiftly,
Sift through the ashes,
Into the pot...
[JACK'S MOTHER]
Now listen to me well, son.
Milky-White must be taken to market.
[JACK]
But, mother, no- he's the best cow in the world-
[JACK'S MOTHER]
Was-
She has been dry for weeks now,
with no food or money,
we've got no choice but to sell her.
look at her.
[JACK]
But, Milky-White's my best friend
[JACK'S MOTHER]
Look at her...
There are bugs on her dugs.
There are flies in her eyes.
There's a lump on her rump
Big enough to be a hump-
[JACK]
But-
[JACK'S MOTHER]
We've no time to sit and dither,
While her wither's wither with her-
And no one keeps a cow for a friend!
Sometimes I wonder what's goin' on in that head of yours.
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Into the woods,
It's time to go,
I hate to leave,
I have to, though.
Into the woods-
It's time, and so
I must begin my journey.
Into the woods
And through the trees
To where I am
Expected ma'am,
Into the woods
To Grandmother's house-
Into the woods
To Grandmother's house-
[BAKER'S WIFE]
Now you're certain of your way?
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
The way is clear,
The light is good,
I have no fear,
Nor no one should.
The woods are just trees,
The trees are just wood.
I sort of hate to ask it,
But do you have a basket?
[BAKER'S WIFE]
Yes, we do.
[BAKER]
I don't suppose you're planning on buying any of these-
[BAKER'S WIFE]
Oh, shhhhh...
Now, don't stray and be late, alright?
[BAKER]
You might save some of those sweets for Granny?
Oh my-
[BAKER'S WIFE]
Just, leave it...
[BAKER]
She's a thief!
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Into the woods
And down the dell,
The path is straight,
I know it well.
Into the woods,
And who can tell
What's waiting on the journey?
Into the woods
To bring some bread
To Granny who
Is sick in bed.
Never can tell
What lies ahead.
For all that I know,
She's already dead.
But into the woods,
Into the woods,
Into the woods
To Grandmother's house
And home before dark.
[FLORINDA]
Cinderella!
[LUCINDA]
Get up here!
[CINDERELLA]
Fly, birds,
Back to the sky...
[FLORINDA]
We're waiting!
[CINDERELLA]
Back to the eaves
And the leaves
And the fields
And the-
[FLORINDA]
Hurry up and do my hair, Cinderella!
Are you really wearing that?
[LUCINDA]
Here, I found a little tear, Cinderella.
Can't you hide it with a hat?
[CINDERELLA]
You look beautiful.
[FLORINDA]
I know.
[LUCINDA]
She means me.
[FLORINDA]
No she didn't.
[CINDERELLA]
Mother said be good,
Father said be nice,
That was always their advice.
So be nice, Cinderella,
Good, Cinderella,
Nice good good nice-
[FLORINDA]
Tighter!
[CINDERELLA]
What's the good of being good
If everyone is blind
Always leaving you behind?
Never mind, Cinderella,
Kind Cinderella-
Nice good nice kind good nice-
[FLORINDA]
OW- Not that tight!
God!
[BAKER]
Who might that be?
[BAKER'S WIFE]
We've sold our last loaf of bread!
[BAKER]
It's the witch from next-door.
[BAKER'S WIFE]
We have no bread...
[WITCH]
I don't want your bread...
[BAKER]
Then what is it you wish?
It's not what I wish,
It's what you wish.
Nothing cooking in that belly now is there?
And there will never be,
Unless you do exactly as I say.
In three days time a blue-moon will appear,
Only then can the curse be, undone...
[BAKER'S WIFE]
What curse?
[WITCH]
The one I placed on this house.
[BAKER]
What are you talking about?
[WITCH]
In the past, when you were no more than a babe,
Your father brought his young wife
and you to this cottage.
They were a lovely couple,
But not lovely neighbors.
You see...
Your mother was with child,
And she developed an unusual appetite.
She admired my beautiful garden,
And she told your father that
What she wanted more than anything,
In the world, was...
Greens, greens, nothing but greens:
Parsley, peppers, cabbages and celery,
Asparagus and watercress and
Fiddleferns and lettuce-!
He said, "All right,"
But it wasn't, quite,
'Cause I caught him in the autumn
In my garden one night!
He was robbing me,
Raping me,
Rooting through my rutabaga,
Raiding my arugula and
Ripping up the rampion
My champion! My favorite!-
I should have laid a spell on him
Right there,
I could have turned him into stone
Or a dog...
Or a chair...
But I let him have the rampion-
I'd lots to spare.
In return, however,
I said, "Fair is fair:
You can let me have the baby
That your wife will bear.
And we'll call it square."
[BAKER]
I had a brother?
[WITCH]
No. But, you had a sister.
[BAKER]
Where is she?
[WITCH]
She's mine now!
And you'll never find her,
Small price to pay for what
Else your father stole from me.
It cost me my youth, my beauty.
My mother warned me,
She would punish me
With the curse of ugliness,
If I ever lost any of them.
[BAKER'S WIFE]
Lost what?
[WITCH]
The beans...
[BAKER & WIFE]
Beans?
[WITCH]
The special beans...
I'd let him go, I didn't know,
he'd stolen my beans.
I was watching him crawl,
Back over the wall-!
Then bang! Crash!
A lightning flash!
Well, that's another story,
Never mind-
Anyway, at last
The big day came,
And I made my claim.
"Oh, don't take away the baby,"
They shrieked and screeched,
But I did,
And I hid her
Where she'll never be reached.
And your father cried,
And your mother died.
When for extra measure-
I admit it was a pleasure-
I said, "Sorry,
I'm still not mollified."
And I laid a little spell on them-
You, too, son-
That your family tree
Would always be a barren one...
[BAKER]
How could you do that?
[WITCH]
And when your mother died,
Your father deserted you.
Your father was no father so why should you be?
So there's no more fuss
And there's no more scenes
And my garden thrives-
You should see my nectarines!
But I'm telling you the same
I tell kings and queens:
Don't ever never ever
Mess around with my greens!
Especially the beans.
[JACK]
Yeah, but why do we have to go to the next village?
[JACK'S MOTHER[
Because, everyone in this village,
knows the cow hasn't given a drop of milk in weeks.
[JACK]
That's cheating!
[JACK'S MOTHER]
We're starving, Jack!
Don't you understand that?
Now, you're not to accept less than five pounds for her.
Are you listening to me?
[JACK]
Yes.
[JACK'S MOTHER]
How much are you to ask?
[JACK]
No more than five pounds.
[JACK'S MOTHER]
Less than five!
[JACK]
Than five!
[JACK'S MOTHER]
Into the woods,
The time is now,
We have to live,
I don't care how.
Into the woods to sell the cow,
You must begin the journey!
Straight to the woods
and don't delay-
We have to face
The marketplace.
Into the woods to journey's end-
[JACK]
Into the woods to sell a friend-
[WITCH]
You wish to have
The curse reversed?
I'll need a certain
Potion first.
Go to the woods and bring me back
One: the cow as white as milk,
Two: the cape as red as blood,
Three: the hair as yellow as corn,
Four: the slipper as pure as gold.
Bring me these
Before the chime
Of midnight,
In three day's time.
Tis' then the blue moon reappears.
Which comes but once each hundred years.
Just bring them and
I guarantee,
A child as perfect
As child can be.
Go to the wood!
[STEPMOTHER]
Ladies,
Our carriage waits.
[CINDERELLA]
Now may I go to the Festival?
[STEPMOTHER]
The Festival-?
Darling, those nails!
Darling, those clothes!
Lentils are one thing but
Darling, with those,
You'd make us the fools of the Festival
And mortify the Prince!
[CINDERELLA]
The Festival lasts three nights.
Surely, you could let me be there for one of them.
[STEPMOTHER]
The King is trying to find his son a wife!
Not a scullery maid!
We must be gone!
GO!
[CINDERELLA]
I wish-
[BAKER'S WIFE]
Beans?
These must be the witch's beans!
We'll take them with us.
[BAKER]
We?
[BAKER'S WIFE]
Yes!
[BAKER]
We?
You're not coming,
It's not safe out there.
[BAKER'S WIFE]
I can help you!
[BAKER]
No!
I can do this on my own.
The spell is on my house.
Only I can lift the spell,
The spell is on my house.
[BAKER'S WIFE]
No, no, the spell is on our house.
We must lift the spell together,
The spell is on our house!
[BAKER]
Now tell me what am I to return with?
[BAKER'S WIFE]
Ugh, You don't remember?
The cow as white as milk,
The cape as red as blood,
The hair as yellow as corn,
The slipper as pure as gold-
[BAKER]
The cow as white as milk,
The cape as red as blood,
The hair as yellow as corn,
The slipper as pure as gold...
[CINDERELLA]
I still wish to go to the Festival,
But how am I ever to get to the Festival?
[BAKER]
The cow as white as milk,
The cape as red as blood,
The hair as yellow as corn-
[CINDERELLA]
I know!
I'll visit Mother's grave,
The grave at the hazel tree,
And tell her I just want to
Go to the King's Festival...
[BAKER]
The slipper as pure as gold...
The cow, the cape,
The slipper as pure as gold-
[BAKER'S WIFE]
The hair-!
[CINDERELLA & BAKER]
Into the woods,
It's time to go,
It may be all
In vain, you/I know.
Into the woods-
But even so,
I have to take the journey.
[CINDERELLA, BAKER & WIFE]
Into the woods,
The path is straight,
You know it well,
But who can tell-
[BAKER & WIFE]
Into the woods to lift the spell-
[CINDERELLA]
Into the woods to visit Mother-
[JACK'S MOM]
Into the woods to sell the cow!
[JACK]
To get the money!
[CINDERELLA]
To go to the Festival!
[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]
Into the woods to grandmother's house!
[ALL]
The way is clear,
The light is good,
I have no fear,
Nor no one should.
The woods are just trees,
The trees are just wood.
No need to be afraid there-
[BAKER]
There's something in the glade there...
[ALL]
Into the woods,
Without delay,
But careful not
To lose the way.
Into the woods,
Who knows what may
Be lurking on the journey?
Into the woods
To get the thing
That makes it worth
The journeying.
into the woods-
[STEPMOTHER & STEPSISTERS]
To see the King-
[JACK & MOTHER]
To sell the cow-
[BAKER & WIFE]
To make the potion-
[ALL]
To see-
To sell-
To get-
To bring-
To make-
To lift-
To go to the Festival-!
Into the woods!
Into the woods!
Into the woods,
Then out of the woods,
And home before it's dark!

Wow! That's a lot!
Thank you really, I've been searching for the lyrics.
Its the grave at the willow tree not hazel tree!
Cupcakevid Yummy The original lyric was Hazel tree
great copy and paste skills
I just realized that I think much of the pain in this movie could have been avoided if the baker and his wife had thought to just give the beans back to the witch. Her anger might have been appeased, she might have allowed them to have a child (perhaps not so quick, the normal 9 month method,) the beanstalk wouldn't have grown and Jack would have learned the hard truth that pets get old and die...
You also have to realize that all the information we are given is that if the Witch loses the beans, she's cursed with ugliness. The Witch was desperate to regain her beauty, so wouldn't you think that she would research what could possibly revert her? Her conclusion was a potion. If she thought that the curse would be lifted by regaining the beans, don't you think she'd task the Baker and his Wife with finding them or just rip apart the house as the most likely hiding spot?
So, who's fault was it? The baker who didn't give the beans, the baker's father who took the beans or the witch who put the beans there, or the witch's mother who put the curse on the witch?
This is why I love this movie
veggiet2009 BUT that wouldn't have made a good film would it? I know yall thinking realistically but this is all fiction and a musical
I know, it's my favorite song. I've even memorized it, against all odds.
cityuser Ik! The baker's mother! :D
12:32 "The spell is on OUR house" I love that so much for some reason
This is a great song to put on to get ready with in the morning!
I totally agree! Hehe their voices will really sing me awake.
I agree. I listen to this every morning! It wakes me up
Hi, Beckie I send you force . I also love this song!.
Bye I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Bye from México.
Totally!!!
i don't think so
longest but best song ever
Still shorter than “Finale” from Hunchback of Notre Dame
My brother took me to see Frozen after people told him it had a lot of singing and when he got back he was like, "I knew it had a lot of singing but, SERIOUSLY, that was a lot." Then I asked him to watch Into the Woods with me and I warned him it had a lot of singing, and he said, "I suffered through Frozen, I can definitely get through anything else." The next day my bother started talking to the kid who warned him about Frozen and the kid said, "Oh come on, it can't be worse than Frozen," and my brother asked me to explain to the kid. I said, "Okay, the first 14 1/2 minutes of the movie is one pure song." He responded, "You win."
He should watch Les Miserable that's a full movie with singing in it. Or he should listen to The Great Comet like Les Miserable there's full on singing 24/7.
Hadestown
Evita
@@rozbar5607 i was gonna say that
Watch Phantom of the Opera. That is all singing.
Little Red Ridinghood's parts are the best

OMG YESSSS hers is my fav
i love the actress’s voice for little red, it’s cute and sounds fresh every time I listen to it.
movie was so good
I cried at the end
omg
Aww
Nice
I love this movie!!
1) that made no sence
2) everyone has their own opinions
+sofia leal Hey, nobody forced you to see it, buddy. :D
I loved this movie! The idea of combining classic fairy tales with dark and mature elements is brilliant for me!
+Vlad Sicoe The Broadway play is better, since it was originally written as a play.
+Gabe Lugo : Musical*
Rachel Marie Technicalities. :P
They're actually grim story takes. A lot of fairytale are originally darker. I've read a few
Micah B Exactly.
Don't fuck with meryl streeps greens.
especially the beans. XD
lol
Exao
in the obc soundtrack, The witch starts rapping in that part
ikr
I love how the music allows you to visualize what is happening without the movie there in front of you.
I just realized why Repunzal's hair was so long. Her mother ate those beans which made extra long bean stalks, so the baby's hair was extra long.
But...the beans were in the dad's pocket
@@bradywakens3904 She could of had multiple, plus those might not been all of them
Or she didn’t cut them
@@bradywakens3904 the mother never ate the beans
How do you know
Why so much hate for this movie? I'm starting to think people just don't understand musicals in general.
probably. they complain that there's too much singing
Lot of it was that the movie needed to be split into 2 movies for Act 1 and Act 2. Many of the reviewers complain about how that 2nd act was rushed and that many things were lost from Stage too screen. I think the movie is okay. Its not perfect and Into the Woods is hard show to nail down if you dont do it right.
@@josephyml It's called a musical for a reason 🤦♀️
@@LegendsP137 It might just be cause I was like 5th grade when i watched the musical but the second act was kinda boring (might just be the show I watched/my age tho
I once went to see this movie online and someone commented 'GREAT MOVIE IT WOULD BE BETTER IF THEY DIDN'T SING THAT MUCH AM I RIGHT ?' and i was like... No? It's a ... musical ?
I love the bakers voice as narration and at the end when he sings, It sounds so freaking calm.

Its seriously hard to not sing this every time

AHAHA ikr ^
+mslexy1905 I tend to sing into the woods ALONE just incase hate lurks around
00:31 to 00:54. Such beautiful harmonies ☺️
You are not alone has the best harmony in the entire movie imo. The last two lines of the song "Someone is on your side. You are not alone." Makes me melt every time i hear it
I am glad that I am NOT the only one that thinks so.
5:40 my heart just melted, I really love this part
'Your father cried, and your mother died' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😕🙊💩💏💑
'-'
My favorite part is Anna's high note around 5:48. Perfect cast.
Am I the only one who is very addicted to INTO THE WOODS, that you keep singing every song and every line everyday? Which eventually annoys your teacher and classmates? XD
omg yes haha
Love Like there is no Tomorrow Same

I've memorised the whole of Cinderella's part for my towns annual play hope it goes well
wishing you the best of luck!! you'll nail it!
Oh! Good luck!
How did it go?😂😁
This movie was the best movie ever ever. The musics are to die for and it's great that it is not a kinda stereotype fairytale movie with stupids happy ending (mariage + eternal love + 1000 childrens). This story is much more subtle and beautiful ! I loved the fact that characters hesitated about their feelings, about what they want or who they love. It's not just poorly Manichean.
I suddenly remembered the prince and the baker's wife. 😭
MusicIgnitesMe 07
ye...
MusicIgnitesMe 07 same 😭
MusicIgnitesMe 07 ikr... Srsly why did the prince kiss her - what was sad was that was her last kiss before she died :/
Thy Random User Well I think the whole kissing the baker’s wife thing was to show that the Prince is a cheating bastard. The movie doesn’t show it (cuz Disney), but in the play this is based on, they actually commit adultery. Also in the play, by the time the Giant’s Wife comes down, the Prince is already tired of Cinderella and eventually settles down with Sleeping Beauty. Yeah, it’s messed up, but well, that’s the woods for ya!
That was me and I was so confused like what?-
"You wish to go to the festival!?"
Me: :D
*"The poor girl's parents had died."*
Me: *D:*
In the musical it’s just the mom died. There forth the tree with the mother
I am the only one who adores the way Meryl Streep says "I don't want your bread"?
i just got to that part when i read this comment and i was like "omg"
I was in a cooking class recently and the teacher was like "OK. The beans." and my friend looked at me and whispered "The beans." And then, because I never learned what a socially acceptable volume is when it comes to musicals and public settings, I responded "tHe SpEcIaL bEaNs" and everyone just gave me a blank stare
Something similar happened in my chorus class one time lol. I forget what the context was, but the instructor said "beans" and half the class said "beans??" and without missing a beat I whispered "the special beans" into the silence and everyone turned around to look at me
I've seen "Into the Woods" and absolutely LOVED it!
Same I saw it today
Cassviper I see it almost everyday
Same so good one of my favorite Disney movies
I’ve been in it! :)
Witch: I curse you to never have children.

"It's the witch from next door."
I can relate, my dude.
Once upon a time
In a far-off kingdom
There lay a small village
At the edge of the woods
I wish And in this village
More than anything
Lived a young maiden
More than life
More than jewels
A carefree young lad I wish
More than life
And a childless baker I wish
With his wife
More than anything
More than the moon I wish
The king is giving a festival
More than life I wish I wish to go to the festival
More than riches
And the ball I wish my cow would Give us some milk
More than anything I wish we had a child
Please, pal I want a child Squeeze, pal I wish to go to the festival I wish you'd give us some
Milk or even cheese I wish I wish we might have a child I wish
You wish to go to the festival? The poor girl's parents had died
You, cinderella, the festival? You wish to go to the festival?
What, you, cinderella, the festival? The festival? What, you wish to go to the festival? The festival? The king's festival?
And now she lived with her stepmother
The festival... ha!
Who had two daughters of her own Look at your nails!
Look at your dress!
People would laugh at you Nevertheless I still want to go to the festival
And dance before the prince
All three were beautiful of face but vile and black of heart
The young lad had no father and his mother I wish
Well, she was at her wit's end I wish my son were not a fool
I wish my house was not a mess
I wish the cow was full of milk
I wish the walls were full of gold
I wish a lot of things
What in heaven's name are you doing with the cow inside the house?
I thought if he got nice and warm He might produce some milk It's a she
How many times do I have to tell you
Only shes can give milk?
And then there was a hungry little girl
Who always wore a red cape I wish It's not for me It's for my granny in the woods
A loaf of bread, please
To bring my poor old hungry Granny in the woods
Just a loaf of bread, please Cinderella, if you can pick up these lentils
And finish your chores in time Then you may go to the ball with us
Come along ladies
Yes, mother Good luck Come, little birds
Down from the eaves
And the leaves
Over fields
Out of castles and ponds
Now, squeeze, pal Ahh
Quick, little birds Flick through the ashes Pick and peck, but swiftly Sift through the ashes
Into the pot
Now listen to me well, son Milky-white must be taken to market
But, mother, no- he's the best cow in the world Was She has been dry for weeks now With no food or money We've got no choice but to sell her
Look at her But, milky-white's my best friend
Look at her
There are bugs on her dugs
There are flies in her eyes
There's a lump on her rump
Big enough to be a hump
But We've no time to sit and dither While her wither's wither with her And no one keeps a cow for a friend!
Sometimes I wonder what's goin' on in that head of yours
Into the woods
It's time to go I hate to leave I have to, though
Into the woods
It's time, and so I must begin my journey
Into the woods
And through the trees
To where I am Expected ma'am Into the woods
To grandmother's house Into the woods
To grandmother's house
Now you're certain of your way? The way is clear
The light is good I have no fear Nor no one should
The woods are just trees
The trees are just wood I sort of hate to ask it
But do you have a basket?
Yes, we do I don't suppose you're planning on buying any of these Oh, shh Now, don't stray and be late, alright?
You might save some of those sweets for granny?
Oh my Just, leave it She's a thief! Into the woods
And down the dell
The path is straight I know it well Into the woods
And who can tell
What's waiting on the journey?
Into the woods
To bring some bread
To granny who Is sick in bed
Never can tell What lies ahead
For all that I know
She's already dead
But into the woods
Into the woods Into the woods
To grandmother's house
And home before dark
joana ferreira whyyyyyyy
Joana Ferreira saaaaame i literally memorized this entire song😂
5:00 "She's already death". XD

Joana Ferreira yey thanks
Meryl Streep is the QUEEN OF EVERYTHING. SUCH A MULTI-TALENTED ACTRESSSSSSSSSS, A LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SAW THIS MOVIE
Emily Blunt is such a good singer
How cool would it be if they performed this whole song for the intro to the academy awards XD.
That would be so cool and they need to get a Oscar for this
We need to hold pepetition
I wish my school was an academy to start with!!!!!!
***** YES
SAME
I'm so proud of Meryl Streep, going from Mama Mia to THIS! Her singing voice has improved so much it's insane!
Stephen Sondheim, man. He's a genius, but he cray.
Liz Jones was that the maker of the movie? cause this was a play long before it was a movie. it pulls to gather the brothers grim fairy tails dark virtions
James Ellenburg Sondheim wrote the score and lyrics to the play :)
Lit
Sondheim is basically the Shakespeare of Broadway
I love part "nice Cinderella, good Cinderella..." ^-^

“Um, were out of bread.”
“I don’t want your bread.”
Me: laughs so hard
Lol she like "I dunt wantcha bread"
I LOVE the beginning of this movie. Their voices are so mesmerizing! Especially Red Riding Hood and Cinderella! Dynamic and majestic.
Anna Kendrick though. She is the perfect Disney princess
I HAVE NEVER AGREED WITH A COMMENT MORE IN MY LIFE
Am I the only one here 3 years later? Cause I am still absolutely in love with this soundtrack! 😍🥰
I am here too
Now it’s 6 years 😯
now 7 💀
When I first watched this movie in Disney + I didn't know anything about it so when Cinderella got married I thought it was a beautiful and happy ending...
Then I realised I had more than 30 minutes left of movie
@Sophia Smits it is available on Disney + Spain idk about other countries
Same-
This was me with my mother watching this haha
Welcome to Broadway.
Act 1 = the fun
Act 2 = the horrors
Gavroche lives! And he got the cow from the barricades!
Omg yay
I love how casual they are about a witch living next door to them.
"I wish go to the fes..."
*YOU, CINDERELLA? THE FESTIVAL?*
The way she says "I don't want your bread" gets me every time😂
日本人だけどこの歌本当に大好き。曲調も歌詞も全てが良い
for all that I know she's already dead XP
XD
😂😂😂
+Madenique van Wyk hehe
LOL!! 😂😂
Madenique van Wyk it's XD not XP
The way she savagely said I don’t want your bread then came for them lmfaoooo
Rest In Peace Stephen!! You were a gem!
"but don't ever ever ever fuck around with my greens"
ESPECIALLY THE FUCKING BEANS
I got the bakers wife in my school musical!
Makena Wesol sweet I got Cinderella
Makena Wesol I GOT BAKERS WIFE AS WELL OMG GOOD LUCK TO US 💜 I BET YOU'D KILL IT
Nice! Are you doing the original version or the jr version? I got the baker in my school's musical!
Grant Yao oh my you're my husband HAHA okay i kidd. our director is using the original script but she's cutting out a lot of parts. she doesn't like the junior one :)
I got the witch~
sometimes i try to sing this song all by myself and i get pissed off when i cant
the songs in this musical are so underrated 😭
i swear this entire movie is underrated
I agree
those harmony😍😍
God, most of my childhood was locked up in this movie. So glad to come back to this after so many years
I wish
More than anything
More than the moon
More than jewels
More than riches
I wish I could sing like Cinderella in this
I participated in a production of this and honestly I love this version too
Meryl Streep absolutely slays as the witch and I adore this musical and everything about it
"The songs don't even rhyme!"
Um
"Darling those nails, darling those clothes
The lentils are one thing but darling with those'
'Agony far more painful than yours
When you know she'd go with you
If there only were doors"
"Its the last midnight
Its the last wish
Its the last midnight
Soon it will be boom squish'
"Mother said be good
Father said be nice
That was always there advice'
Need I go on?
Where they supposed to rhyme?
I don't care if they did
But far too many people are complaining for my liking
Also
"QUICK, little birds
FLICK through the ashes
PICK and peck
But swiftly
SIFT through the ashes
Into the pot"
And
"We've no time to sit and DITHER
While her WITHERS
WITHER
WITH
HER"
And
"But I let him have the rampion
I had lots to SPARE
In return, however, I said "Fair is FAIR"
You can let me have the baby that you wife will BEAR
And will call it SQUARE"
And
"So there's no more fuss
And there's no more SCENES
And my garden thrives
You should see my NECTARINES
But I'm telling you the same I tell kings and QUEENS
Don't ever never ever mess around with my GREENS!
Especially the BEANS"
And
"So I'll pry up my SHOE...
Wait, though, thinking it THROUGH
Things don't have to colide
I know what my decision is
Which is not to decide
I'll just leave him a CLUE
For example... a SHOE
And then see what he'll DO
Now is he and not YOU
Who is stuck with a SHOE
In a STEW
In the GOO
And you've learned something TOO
Something you never KNEW
On the steps of the palace"
And
"Darling, be STILL
Cut off a bit of the HEEL
And it WILL"
And
"It's your father's fault
That the curse got PLACED
And the place got cursed
In the first PLACE"
And
"Plant 'em and they'll SOAR
Here you want some MORE?
Listen to the ROAR
Giants by the SCORE
Oh, well, you can blame another witch!"
Brilliant! Thank-you for backing me up :P
SRSLY?! They are rhyming!!!!
i like the way she sings "never mine,Cinderella"😱😍
Sheila Murage *Nevermind
this is lowkey my favorite musical
Am I the only who loves when they say "I wish"?
Baker: I have a brother?
Witch: no, but you have a sister.
Baker: where is she?
Witch: ｓｈｅ‘ｓ MINE ＮＯＷ
I'm strangely obsessed with this musical
I like how she stuffs the biscuit in her mouth and continues like, **munch** *"Pleuash"* xD
My biggest flex is memorizing literally every single line and cue due to me being obsessed with this movie as a kid- 😭💕
Same!!
Don't mind me jamming out to the full soundtrack. I'm playing the Witch for my school's musical this year !!
Katrina Rowan
That's so cool! I'm playing Cinderella in mine!!
Awesome! Best of luck to you :))
One of the better opening numbers I've heard from any play, Sondheim is a genius I tell you!
Such a catchy prologue 😭
“Especially the beans”
Absolutely underrated movie, seeing characters in a different way does not detract from the original stories.
P.S. Emily Blunt has the voice of an angel.
This film was absolutely brilliant, I loved it!
