Giants In The Sky

From the hit musical Into The Woods.
Featuring the cast as the orchestra.

It will be apparent from watching the video, but we did something quite different in having the cast also double as the orchestra.
In this video you can see:
Rapunsel on Clarinet
The Narrator on French Horn
Cinderellas Father on Piano
The Bakers Wife on Flute
The Steward on Bassoon
Jacks Mother and Granny on Percussion
The Baker on Cello
Cinderella on Keyboard

The rest of the cast are not visible but were also on stage!

This was an awesome concept and I hope you enjoy it!

ATTN: The video looks MUCH BETTER (ie. the way it was meant to) if viewed in HIGH QUALITY (there is a button under the video for this).

what was the concept of the production because it looks like it's done in someone's living room

It was supposed to be a library, the narrator was the 'librarian'. In the beginning he takes a bunch of books off the shelves and that represents the stories of the characters in the show

I always forget that my baby Matt can fucking *SING*. :-)

So John Doyle.

Glad Cinderella's father was the pianist.

that's really cool. the guy who wrote the screenplay to sweeney actually wrote a screenplay to Assassins using a similar concept.
