Community Theater Green Room Discussion Board: Into the Woods???

Message

   My high school did "Into the Woods" and "Honk" and as far as difficulty, they are on opposite ends of the spectrum. "Into the Woods" requires actors with a very keen sense of music and they need to have amazing ranges to hit the ever changing octave notes in almost all of the songs. For the musicians, the music is very tedious and repeptitive. Our school managed to pull it off, although it was a struggle. "Honk"'s music is almost too easy as the songs are easy to memorize and are catchy. I prefered acting in "Into the Woods" but if you want a musical you call pull off easily, then go with "Honk".

	hi! my high school performed i.t.w last year as our musical. we started working on it in december and performed for 2 1/2 weeks in the end of march into april. The show was difficult- but being blessed with an amazing pit orchestra and vocalists and actors we pulled it off! i.t.w is not meant for highschools unless you have a LOT of time, talented large cast, and strong vocalists as well as a great crew who can do FAST quick changes, and set changes!! (it's been my favorite show thus far!!) in the past i have done (w/ my high school) grease, footloost, into the woods, and just recently completed the sound of music. hope it helps! :)
