COMPLETE CAST FOR BOWL INTO THE WOODS!!

[broadwaybabywannabe2]

Sutton Foster, Skylar Astin, Sierra Boggess, and More Join INTO THE WOODS at the Hollywood Bowl



It was announced today that a ton of Broadway names will join the starry Hollywood Bowl staging of INTO THE WOODS. Joining the previously announced Gaten Matarazzo, Patina Miller, Whoopi Goldberg, and Shanice Williams are Skylar Astin as The Baker, Sierra Bogges as Cinderella, Chris Carmack as Rapunzel's Prince, Anthony Crivello as Mysterious Man, Sutton Foster as The Baker's Wife, Cheyenne Jackson as Cinderella's Prince/The Wolf, and Hailey Kilgore as Rapunzel.

Into the Woods will be directed and choreographed by Tony nominee Robert Longbottom and conducted by Kevin Stites, who will also serve as musical director.

The Hollywood Bowl will be transformed into an enchanted world of magic beans, towering giants, and handsome princes. As the Baker and his Wife travel through the forest trying to reverse a witch's curse, they come across Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and other iconic storybook characters, all in search of their own wishes...but "happily ever after" turns into a tale of "be careful what you wish for," when granted wishes have unexpected effects. This is Sondheim at his finest, with such memorable songs as "Children Will Listen" and "No One Is Alone."

Into the Woods will have three performances at the Hollywood Bowl this summer - Friday, July 26, at 8PM; Saturday, July 27, at 8PM; and Sunday, July 28, at 7:30PM. Individual tickets are now on sale.

This is the greatest casting I've ever seen for a show. WOW!!!

Looks like the Bowl's website has crashed. I keep getting kicked out 

[TotallyEffed]

Can this come to New York?

I’ve said for years that Sutton would be a fabulous Baker’s Wife. I so wish I could see this.

I think Sutton and Skylar are a bad match, but am excited about this cast otherwise.

Yup, she's the Baker's mom.

Agreed, she and the Baker are supposed to be old. Their story is them trying to conceive. Sutton’s Wife will look like a cougar.

He's 30 and she's 45. She's now a puma!

[TotallyEffed]

I’ve always wanted to see John Cameron Mitchell as The Baker.

People people, calm down here...you must remember the Bowl seats 18,000 people so there is no chance any aged features of our stars will show to 3/4 of that audience...it's the voices they went for and i for one CANNOT WAIT!!

I keep reading the subject line as if the title is “Bowl Into the Woods.” And I think, you lose a lot of balls that way.

Supposed to be OLD?   You do know lots of people can't conceive - it's not an age thing.  And of course, the reason they can't is because he's cursed.  So AGE has little to do with it.

 

That being said, the ages can vary quite a bit for the Baker and his wife.  But as pointed out, at the Bowl, age barely matters.

His "Giants In The Sky" is my favorite rendition of that song, so I'd honestly take him as an ironic super-old but thinks he's young Jack anyday. He'd also be quite well suited to play the douchey Prince Charming.

This show is in a barn-size auditorium, and Sutton played a 26 year old on tv quite recently - I think she's be fine. Agree that Skylar could look a little younger next to her, but hello - that's why they have this thing called MAKEUP.

Rehearsals began this week and still no news of who will play certain roles, including the Narrator, Florinda, Lucinda, Stepmother, Cinderella's Father, and more. Anyone happen to know the additional actors in these roles?
