"Into the Woods" - The Cast Speaks Out! (Part 1)

Thanks to the directing team of Into the Woods, for the next few days we'll have a series of e-interviews with members of the show's cast!

(But first I should mention that the Stephen Sondheim musical starts this Friday at the Huntington City Hall Auditorium.)

Let's kick things off with this question:

What's the most challenging thing about working on Into the Woods?

- Hannah Stevenson (Snow White) - The most challenging thing in these shows is timing and getting the vocals to work with the other cast members and the orchestra. Vocals in this show are everything.

- Chad Arthur (Cinderella’s Father) The most challenging thing is the constant music, because it is very difficult.

- Kiona Graley (The Woods) The most challenging thing in this show is getting it perfect. Also you have to be ready to give up all your free time and dedicate your life to this show. I mean you can't go to the games, dances, or any social gatherings because you have practice. Every rehearsal counts.

- Kristin Caviani (Jack’s Mother) What's the most challenging thing about working on this show? Music. Hands down.... it's Sondheim, 'nuff said.

- Chloe Donahoe (The Giant, Cinderella's Mother, and Belle) I think the hardest part of this show is the rhythms and harmonies in the music.

- Holly Smith (Rapunzel) - Of course, it being Sondheim everything is so complicated, from characters to timing. In all honesty there's not one thing exactly to pinpoint being harder than another.

- Cody Verbage (Rapunzel's Prince) - The most challenging thing in the show is by far the music. Learning Sondheim will make you want to go crazy.

And that wraps up our first installment! And before you start thinking that being in a show is all work and no fun, tomorrow our question will be: What do you enjoy most about being in this show?
