One-Woman Into the Woods at 54 Below

[Ado Annie D'Ysquith]

Hello BWW! I hope some of you will be able to join me for my solo show at 54 Below this February. 25% of the proceeds from the event will benefit the Autism Self Advocacy Network! So excited to be presenting this. Even if you can't make it, spread the word! The Facebook event is HERE.

"Amanda DeLalla makes her Feinstein’s/54 Below debut in Alone in the Woods. You’ve seen Sondheim’s masterpiece performed by a cast of 18 and a cast of 10…now see it done by a cast of one. Featuring an abridged version of the book and score, Amanda simultaneously tells the fairytales’ story and her own: as an artist with Asperger’s. Along with special guests, see Into the Woods as never before and contribute to the cause of autism acceptance."

Thanks in advance for your time. Click here to buy tickets!

[CindersGolightly]

Oh my GOODNESS! I'm beaming for you! Congratulations, Amanda! You're going to be magic!

[Ado Annie D'Ysquith]

Wow, Cinders...what a compliment! Thank you so much (you too gypsy101)!

This is so awesome! I'd be there if I could. I'll make sure to tell my friend who is an activist himself for Aspberger's about this :)

[MinnieFay]

Just curious, Annie.  How did you manage to get the rights to do this?  Did you have to perform the show for Sondheim (or his reps)?  Or send them a tape? Seems like it would be especially hard to get the rights to do a new adaptation of INTO THE WOODS in such a high profile venue in NYC. Good luck!

 

[Ado Annie D'Ysquith]

Hi Minnie, it's not a new adaptation of the full show ala Fiasco Theater. It is selections from the score interspersed with dialogue based on the book scenes. I had pitched the idea to 54 Below's programming department and they gave me the green light a few weeks ago.

Apparently my concert is Audience Rewards-eligible! I wasn't even aware of this.

Link!!

Best wishes to you. This is an imposing challenge to take on, and I applaud you.

That's my birthday! Wish I was going to be in the city. You're going to be wonderful.?

[Ado Annie D'Ysquith]

No kidding! Well, happy early birthday, friend. And thanks for the well wishes- I need every single one of 'em despite rehearsals going well. Lol

[Ado Annie D'Ysquith]

UPDATE!

"Alone in the Woods" is a BroadwayBox EDITOR'S PICK for the month of February, as part of their Sondheim trio of recommendations. Right up there with Sweeney Todd and Sunday in the Park with George!

Also, a reviewer from NYTheatreGuide will be in attendance at the show, so I want as good of a turnout as I can get! Time is running out to get the best price for your tickets (we're on both Audience Rewards and Goldstar).

IT'S TODAY!

See you there! I'm looking forward to it!

AMAZING! Congrats!

Hi everyone! :)

Just dropping a quick note to say that if you missed me at F/54, I'll be performing in a smaller cabaret event on April 4th, 7pm, at Don't Tell Mama. The Emcee of this showcase saw a video from the other show and invited me to perform on this night.

I'll be singing a two-song set that surrounds a theme. No Sondheim this time around, but I'll give you a hint: it still has something to do with what people wish for.

Hope to see you there!
