SynopsisInto the Woods, a new musical by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, opened on Broadway on today's date in 1987, and brought to the stage characters from the world of fairy-tales: Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and not one, but TWO Prince Charmings.But in Lapine and Sondheim's fairy tale, bad things happen to good people who make morally questionable decisions in their quest to “live happily ever after.”At the time, Sondheim said, “All fairy tales are parables about steps to maturity. The final step is when you become responsible for the people around you, when you feel connected to the rest of the world.”The New York Times review noted that this fairy tale's quest was “the same painful, existential one taken by so many adults in Sondheim musicals past.” Granting the musical was “potent stuff,” some complained there was simply too much of it, with multiple plot lines resulting in a complicated story hampering Sondheim's lyrical gifts from really taking off on their own.Even so, since its 1987 premiere, Into the Woods has gone on to become one of the most performed and popular of all Sondheim's musicals.Music Played in Today's ProgramStephen Sondheim (b. 1930) Into the Woods; original Broadway cast members RCA 60752

I am thrilled to announce that today's episode is a Broadway Nation take over! Since I am currently wearing a number of hats including returning to Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre to co-direct Irving Berlin's White Christmas (which started rehearsals this week), AND working on deadline for my upcoming book (also titled Broadway Nation) but still in the midst of all that firmly committed to keeping new episodes of this podcast rolling out on a regular basis — this week I asked my frequent co-Host and audience favorite, ALBERT EVANS to take over the podcast and talk about any musical theater topic of his choice. And I couldn't be happier that he selected: “Pastiche Musicals.” Many, many, musicals contain "pastiche songs" — new compositions that are designed to evoke or mimic song styles from the past. Stephen Sondheim, is a genius at these, and may be the most famous and adept creator of them. He loves writing pastiche and every Sondheim show includes at least one example. In Follies, of course, half the score is pastiche! Albert talks a bit about those, but his main focus in on musicals in which the entire show — book, music & lyrics — is pastiche. Most especially, the West End and Broadway hit, The Boyfriend, and the long running off-Broadway sensations Little Mary Sunshine, and Dames At Sea. All three of these musicals are tuneful, hilarious, and extremely gay — in every sense of that word! And with Albert as your guide I know that you will have a wonderful time discovering or reinvigorating your own passion for pastiche!  Become a PATRON of Broadway Nation!

Musical theatre legend Bonnie Langford performs Stephen Sondheim's I'm Still Here from the musical Follies, in tribute to the late composer and lyricist. The actress, singer and dancer reflects on her career from West End child star to appearing in Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends, the starry revue show running at London's Gielgud Theatre. Documentary filmmaker Maysoon Pachachi makes her feature film debut with Our River…Our Sky, set in Baghdad during the winter of 2006, three years after the US-led invasion. Maysoon's film reflects on how those who remained tried to get on with their lives in a city riven by sectarian violence. “Nuns are always box office, aren't they?” said film director Michael Powell and he was right. His 1947 classic Black Narcissus, about missionary nuns in the Himalayas, is being screened around the country; The Sound of Music ran at Chichester Festival Theatre over the summer and midwife nuns will soon return to our screens in Call the Midwife. Critic David Benedict and Samira Ahmed discuss the attraction and importance of nuns in art. Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Paula McGrath

This week we are joined by special guest Steven Ray Morris in revisiting the 1999 shock musical film loved by Sondheim himself. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The musical Into the Woods opens with an intense 14 minute long song that introduces all the characters and details what each of their wishes are.
