Giants In The Sky (Into The Woods)

[mccobalt]

My daughter was Jack and I got to see the performance tonight. She was awesome!

[StealthyNinja143]

@BdaSinga you don't have to be! I'm a girl and I'm playing Jack! The lower notes are hard, but if you raise it up a little it is fine for a girl's voice if it's higher pitched like mine!

[RandomLoser21]

made the audition for this part :D

[xXPBandJAMMINXx]

I just got cast as the witch in my schools production and I have done nothing else in the past 5 days but watch this video plus a couple other songs... I'm so excited!!!

[MegaGradyBoy1]

So trying out for Jack for nxt years musical.

[MrJoshman95]

I got castes as jack for my school production, I'm so excited !!!!!!!

[DavidSSabb]

I'm stage managing our school's production of this play. This is my favorite song from Act I.

[Pat2045]

I'm using this song to audition for Walnut Hill Boarding Theater arts school in boston....... Wish me luck!!!!!

[LarFang]

my school just did this play and I have to say that this is my favorite song from the play :)

[godzillastalker]

I love how the baker (my favorite character) is sleeping behing Jack through the entire song.

[godzillastalker]

0:55 to 0:59 everyone in my class was lif WTF when he said giant breast.

[7cluedtke]

so i think i have litteraly watched this video about 100 times over the last month, and it never ceases to amaze me, i am so excited to audition tommarow with this song!!!!!!!!!

[Atlasshrugging18]

Lol did anyone chucle at "giant breast"

[failingatcreativity]

yea, I got casted as Jack in my college production of Into The Woods at Rowan University. I'm a Freshman and had the lowest voice out of anyone who got called back for the role. I even beat out the musical theatre majors. SO NERVOUS!

[BdaSinga]

@mesinginghannah ;D Not worth trying if there's no danger in it.

[AyooMikkey]

@hail1112 ; thanks alot! ^__^

@LilRedd96 ; that's the same thing they told me when I was cast! I WANTED to be the Baker or a prince, but they said they're just too low for me to sing. Honestly, I feel like a tenor could reach those notes easily, just that they may be a little higher up on the scale. . . Sigh ...

I just don't know what I'm gonna do ... :-/

[AyooMikkey]

Omg ... I got cast as Jack for my schools musical yesterday ... O__O ... * ( nervous ) *

[TheElizabethMusic]

@AyooMikkey congratulations!!! I'm 2 weeks into my Into the Woods production and I'm the Baker's Wife. I'm sure you will do awesome :)

[hail1112]

@AyooMikkey Good Luck :D!!!

[LilRedd96]

@AyooMikkey I'm in the exact same boat man. I'm the lowest baritone that tried out, so of course, they would cast me as the only tenor...

[blahblahblahster99]

haha i would skip homework for this stuff anyway!

[bwaybby1]

@mesinginghannah LUCK DUCK!

please tell him that I think he is wonderful! I wish he would do more theater these days.  Anywho, he is one of my favorites! Best to you and your Uncle Ben. :)

[ExplodingSammich]

okay, I love this guy, and this song...but what's with his groin?

[Genevievexx3]

What ever happened to him?! He's super talented did he do any other musicals?

[bwaybby1]

He is THEE BEST Jack EVER! love him! so fantastic. :)

[xxEricwuzherexx]

[flourescence22]

[annabanana11219141]

this guy sings it the best out of anyone i have ever seen... and i've seen this musical many times in my life :)

[AGnemhkcke]

uhmmm, why is this only showing my views? ;D

[SMFortissimo]

Favorite line: "And you wish that you could live in between, And you're back again only different than before."

Oh, I love it!

[RyuKetsueki1213]

I get to sing this for competition! I'm unbelievably excited!

[HannahMayJune]

[samagrocks]

[rasputionify]

[erd249]

Don't you love how he always looks slightly fuddled? Amazing actor.

[DogsDontMeow0]

I love his voice! Its just so pretty :)

[CarmensRubixCube]

This was my boyfriend's role. i was Little Red. And my best friend was baker's Wife. And my two other friends (who are a couple too) were Baker and Witch. :DDD

[Nmbrook2]

I really like this song. First time hearing it

[Brie651]

ik hez prob old now, but... gosh him singing this plus his obvious attractiveness just makes me swoon :D hahaha

[nabst42]

@emelemla yes

[emelemla]

Such a hard song.  He makes it seem so freakin' easy!!!

[helencheddar]

12 people have lumps on their rumps big enough to be humps.

[Noxxander]

I got assigned to learn this song, then I'm gonna have to preform it at a showcase. I started learning it and..... ITS REALLY HARD

[shakugan73]

is it just me or does it look like he has giant junk? ha giant ;D

[coryizamayzing]

I hope you guys realize he was in Sound of Music! He's a great Broadway legend!

[lilmurph411]

that smile at the end :D

[ScenekiddxXx]

This guy is amazing currently working on this song & this man makes it look soooo very easy...sadly it's pretty difficult!

lol

[ninamaedci213]

Mmh! he's good looking;)

[EliasMedranoMusic]

Check out my performance of this song :)

[Sunlightexplosion]

And so, this is how I spend my time when I'm supposed to be doing my homework....

[EnchantedMind0]

how I understand you..:)

[petemedici]

@Sunlightexplosion Me too. I'd much rather watch musicals than do homework. In fact, at this moment, I have a giant stack of homework waiting for me, and my school's production of Hamlet opens tomorrow, but instead of sleeping or doing homework, I'm watching musicals. haha

[FozzyForman]

@Sunlightexplosion I literally have my stats book open right now. Sorry math, Sondheim calls.

[BBCamerican123]

@Sunlightexplosion FINALLY I'M NOT ALONE!

[theatretechie112]

Awesome



[BdaSinga]

I wish I was a guy. This is a cool audition song.

[dustbunnieboo]

I've seen several attempts at "Into the Woods". This version is by far the very best. Love it!

[shmueyb]

@dustbunnieboo I believe that is because this IS the performance. This is the Broadway original from the first ever "Jack", Ben Wright

[jmd10of14]

not a very flattering outfit lol

[OddKite]

I remember when we did this play at my school :] Its the best play I have ever been in :) Even though I was a light tech it was still always fun. Everyone was nice and loved one another :) This is the best play ever (x And now were doing Zombie Prom :D Its a great play as well, I'd look it up :], Nice singing by the way :D, I loved the way my friend sang it :)

[superpeeplz]

1:23

that noted is really really hard to hit. well done!

[scoobiedee69]

My Opera Scenes Class is doing this production this year. I am so excited. I get to play Jack's Mom.

[Toongeek45]

I will be playing jack in this play at my school!

[iheartyouuuu18]

ahdorable smile at the end...best part :) beautiful voice <3

[kiloSMACK]

im singing this for nyssma

[DEARESTkaitybug]

(: this is probably my favorite song... it just sort of makes you feel like you're with Jack on his journey, and it's wonderful. <3

[luv2sing226435]

i love his little innocent face when he looks up throughout some of the song :)

[luvmypets99]

I giggled!! HES SO HOT!! I agree

[micky050]

this guy is so fucking HOT

[stitch99]

My favourite song in the show.

[curlyblondyGURLY]

[Ninjatotemproduction]

I just got the part of Jack with my buddy Gordon

[BaciProductions]

Just as a follow up to my comment a few days ago, I did get the part of Jack =)

[monkeypaw1010]

@BaciProductions Congrats!

[BaciProductions]

I got a callback for Jack for my school's performance of this, so I've pretty much been listen to this all weekend since I have to sing part of it for the callback. I'd say it's a good song to have stuck in my head.

[gluedhand]

I love how he randomly runs around

[TheMusicIsMyLife93]

11 people are deaf

[wickedfeylady]

This song is so f**king beautiful 

[SorasShadow1]

For some reason I look at him and think "LINK!"

Then he sings and it's just awesomeness.

Did anyone else giggle like an imature idiot when he said, "And she draws you close to her giant breast"?

[mermaidlag00nn]

@SorasShadow1 that is SO TRUE!!! LIINNKKKKK!!! i have a crush on link. lol

[Jooma17]

@SorasShadow1 oh yeah, i kept thinking dirty through the whole song. eg

when suddenly theres a big tall terrible giant at the door

a big tall terrible lady giant dressed like a whore

and she gives you food and she gives you rest

and she lets you look at her giant breast

and you've done things now that you'd never done before

not till that high

(thats just how i hear life, im a very dirty person :P)

[Pacoroxhard]

@SorasShadow1 ...yes

[HowdWyde]

@SorasShadow1 I laughed at the line immediately after: "And you know things now that you never knew before". i.e. "cleavage is great".

[ycsdramaqueen]

@SorasShadow1 HE WOULD BE PERFECT. D:

...Eh, except this was from 1987, a little over twenty years ago. I wish they would've made a Zelda movie way back then.

[TheWhatev33]

@SorasShadow1 Aaron Tveit needs to put a stamp on this song...they should at least do a concert version!

[dethwater18]

@SorasShadow1 lol it's the hat. I thought the same thing when I first saw him.

[snoogans1125]

ahaha, I was supposed to be Jack back in the day..I still remember this damn song

[SirCoughsalot]

Our Jack was a girl. Haha.

[EnchantedMind0]

My god...this was superb...I am working on this song, and those notes are so hard..he made them seem so easy..amazing amazing voice and control, and amazing acting

[Eddie11795]

my highschool is doing this musical and im audtioning for the role of jack. its just within my range. i was jojo in seussical last year and my voice has matured a little bit so i can hit all of the notes :D

[Sligo1219]

@Eddie11795 dude.. thats crazy.. i just played jojo in the musical last year and this year i'm jack... coincidence?

[Eddie11795]

@Sligo1219 wow that is crazy i guess we have similar voices ahaha

[taykendra]

11 people got crushed by giants. Silly dislikers.

[daarenshaw33]

why cant i sing like that ;-(

[AriaSkye42]

I LOVE HIS VOICE. It's sooooo pure and clear and basically surpasses a lot of the other actors who have played this role. And his smile is so infectious. Like a little kid. Adorable!

[davenberry]

I was blessed to see Ben in the original production. He really was amazing.!!!

[coryizamayzing]

his voice is super hot. he has great control over his voice. this is one of my fave musicals!

[ShLinGyPoPsIcLes]

I love that I get to watch this as part of my curriculum ♥

[kachuncamia]

The tune of this song is absolutely amazing, and he's done nothing but made it even more perfect :)

[sc1592]

this musical is like a medieval soap opera

[THEGREATESTEVA007]

umm i think 10 people's mouse accidentaly hit thedislike button

[metnts3]

I'm playing Jack in my school musical... can't wait for this song!

[Luckyfuzz57]

im so glad i have this dvd, MY FAVORITE MUSICAL OF ALL TIME, this is how i learned the fairy tales, not disney

[Danscottonair]

who plays jack in this vid?

[DustinHahnMusic]

@Danscottonair Ben Wrtight plays Jack in this production.

[XxGleefulxX]

I WANT TO MARRY THIS MAN....such a beautiful voice...ahh....

[Vicymorgan]

Where's the song with the duet with the baker and his father? Bakers wife is my fave character!

[HansLanda7]

His voice is so seamless. Who else could possibly sing Sondheim like that?!

[shellyisatwilightfan]

haha i play this dude in my school or should i say class play XD my teacher was like who wants to play...Jack and i just raise my hand saying OH COOL!

[m0m057]

omg . . . i like him lol

[some231Dude]

This is phenomenal! Live theatre + live orchestra = amazing.

[trdlns00]

who is this guy??

[trdlns00]

omg wonderfulll amazing the BEST!!!! i love him

[fidget68]

My dream role! One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, seriously. The first time I heard it I was so swept away into Jack's world. Sondheim is God!

[JAGEME]

@fidget68 me too!

[accttreess]

ADORE HIM

[helencheddar]

this guy is great. i just looked at the london production, it can't stand a chance against the original, these guys are GREAT!

[calliesaiyan]

GREAT! god I wish someone would post this whole performance.

[kaaaaaathryn]

I'm doing Sweeney Todd right now with my local youth theatre, and you can totally tell that Sondheim wrote this too! ;D

[rlee1976]

One of the most gorgeous, affecting songs Sondheim wrote for this charming, thoughful piece of theatre! And nobody can match this kid's version. It's so involved and innocent!

[Simplysims001]

Omg I am (as of today) awaiting he call of my director to see if I will play Jack in Ft. Lauderdale with the Muse Theatre!!!!!!!! Oh the agony!!!!!!

[coolboy1808]

I'm doing this show right now as Jack! It's an awesome show!

[faberikaa]

he is so adorable. <3

[helencheddar]

u know with a few lyric changes, this song would work for Rapunzel in the desert. I may just be saying that cuz i play rapunzel in my production, but seems like the same kind of mood. I think Rapunzel secretly liked it better in the desert. I LOVE THIS SONG!

[BellaCalabreseSongs]

I love his voice. It's so dreamy. This is the best version of Giants in the Sky by a longshot. Xoxoxoxooxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxooxxo­xooxxoxoxooxoxoxoxo

[yepster7]

What a great event City Lights was!! Jim, Jody, the orbit of folks who moved in and out of productions....many who are still friends...I had some of my highlight experiences there...I'm grateful...Jim and Jody pulled magic out of our butts ; ]

[weezieweezieweezie]

Can someone please tell me what kind of accent he has? I love the way he talks.

[KanaraMac]

he's so cute!

[kdannep247]

I love this song! Jack is my favorite character! He's so cute and has an amazing voice!

[JustAPrayer]
