Discussion Into the Woods fact: Cinderella’s Stepmother is the only mother in the musical to not be shown suffering a fate/death

Post image
41 Upvotes

One of Into the Woods’ theme is family and consequences, and several characters die in Act II, and most mothers in the musicals were among the dead (though some people think the stepmother died off-screen from hunger or the giantess). The Baker’s wife was crushed by a tree, Jack’s mum was killed by the steward, Red Riding Hood’s mother is crushed by the giantess, and Rapunzel was also squashed by aforementioned giantess cuz she bore twins near the end of Act I (but not in the 2014 film where Disney sweetened her fate so she lives). The witch disappears (but we kinda don’t know if she’s alive or dead)

what musical makes you feel like this while you listen. For me it is the Frankenstein musical. every song feels like the composer and entire orchestra decided to play an orchestra with the same rage and vigor as ratm in the prime.

Songs about framing someone for a crime?

6 Upvotes

Hey all, it's ya boy back at it again looking for song suggestions for my jukebox musical project. Currently I'm hunting for a good song that's basically one character framing another - could be for murder, could be for any kind of crime or misdeed at all.

'A Story Told' from The Count of Monte Cristo is pretty damn close to what I'm after, but so many of the lyrics are so specific that it would be difficult to translate into a different context. So I'm wondering if y'all have any other suggestions for me that I might not have heard of?

It also doesn't necessarily have to be from an actual musical (though ideally it would be), as long as it has that kind of vibe to it, like a character in the scene is singing it.

Thanks for any ideas!

I need help with an audition

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm gonna be auditioning for Elle Woods soon and I was hoping someone might have good song ideas. I was thinking of singing "Don't rain on my parade" cause that's kinda my go to song but I'm not sure if it would fit the character... another idea I had was to sing "Poupular" from Wicked since it's in Elle's range or something from Mean Girls. Any suggestions?

Trying to find a cast recording

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to track down a show I know exists but can't find any trace of, if anyone is able to help out at all?

Some details may be off but the main points I remember are:

> Set in an airport lounge, passengers waiting for a plane (may have been symbolic rather than literal)

> 7 or 8 characters who all had their own solo/duet about struggles they'd gone through in life

> No stage production afaik, just a recording

> I think I listened to it approx. 15 years ago

> Could have sworn Barrett Wilbert Weed was in it, but can't find anything in her theatre credits so this might be a red herring

I feel like the name of the show was something to do with Waiting or Passengers but I'm not finding the right results with those searches.

Can anyone shed any light on this??

Thanks!

ETA: One of the songs was a male solo with the key lyrics being "only passing by" or "only passing through"
