Into The Woods - Honors Interpretation Duo

I've already told you I haven't been making videos because of school-- and I shall show you PROOF it's because of school... with a video!

This is a performance by me and my partnerman, DJ in our Honors Speech/Interpretation class. I'd already been a huge fan of Into The Woods, so this was quickly my definite choice to perform! (I'd even memorized the rap in its entirety, past the point in this abridged version before this assignment.) This was edited out of three takes recorded at the same time by classmates, and I asked for all three videos later on that day so I could make this. BOOYAH! 164 cuts in the film, mah' friend! I've finally found a way to both do my homework AND make a video at the EXACT SAME TIME!

Oh, and if anybody wants to know, I wrote the narrative intro said by DJ, added in some parts not in the abridged play, and... made up my "LED'DIT DOWN, BAB'EH" line. ... Cap'n T-Kachu's voice made me do it.

The music was taken from excerpts and heavily edited from the Original Broadway Cast Recording. The songs were, in order:

Hello, Little Girl
Children Will Listen (Finale)
I Guess This Is Goodbye; Maybe They're Magic
On the Steps of the Palace
Your Fault / Last Midnight
I Know Things Now
Ever After

I was about to go see the play "Into th Woods" for a filed trip at school and then it got canceled because the power went out at the theater :( luckly I found this video. :D

Man, I am SO sorry. Cancelled field trips are HUGE bummer-- I hope you get to see the whole play some time in your life! I really suggest you rent the DVD of the original Broadway Cast performance. You won't regret it, I promise you. The play really changed my life. Also, if you wanna see my school ACTUALLY put on Into the Woods, which they did this past year, stay tuned to this channel! I'll be putting a whole bunch of hilarious excerpts out, hopefully, by next month.

If this were a competitive duo, it would get last place in every round. Instead of doing the character voices and movements from the show, be more original, and make it more watchable. I am currently doing this as a memorized duo, and my partner and I are top picks for the State Finals this year, because we have consistently placed in the top 3 places at every tournament. And taking first place at Mini State.

[HomeStarRunnerTron]

I know. You're absolutely right. *grins* If I'm ever in this situation again, I'll try to actually INTEPRET, rather than regurgitate the play, etc. I'm currently acting as the Mysterious Man in my highschool's production of ITW, and I'm attempting to be as fresh with my version of him as possible-- adding my own lil' gags and emotional twists, instead of leeching off Aldredge. Wish you guys the best of luck at Finals! I'm certain you shall do wondrously-- please put it up on your channel!

You guys suck.

1. Too far apart making audience look back n forth.

2. shitty beat box that needs to b way louder

3. rap needs to be cut shorter

4. watch real duo interps

[HomeStarRunnerTron]

You're absolutely right about all of this-- except for maybe the rap length. I mean, we already cut it in half as it was. How much shorter did you want it? We're NOT a real duo by any means, and I'm VERY awe-struck and respectful for anyone who has put in the effort to be as seamlessly perfect as the Interps I've seen. We're just two students, and I'm just a guy who loves Stephen Sondheim. I did my best in the two weeks we had, and I figured it was entertaining enough. But certainly not perfect.

@pickle338 hey my friend and i are doing this as a duo this year... if you have a video id love to see your interp... did you do it with NFL? (we've already gotten first at one of our tourney too with another tomorrow and saturday) and to the guys in this video...your characters really werent too bad but i agree with the distance and none popping thing...but you are very nice gentlemen it seems (with the way you comment)

[Shadowringa]

@HomeStarRunnerTron AWSOME!!!! :D
