Sara Bareilles stars in the latest revival of Into the Woods. She quotes it: "How do you ignore all the wolves, all the lies, the false hopes, the goodbyes, the reverses, all the wondering what even worse is still in store." She says "the precision of the emotional and spiritual insight of that question" led her to approach Sondheim and Lapine with another question: "And basically, I said, 'Whenever theater is back, whether we come back in six months or in five years, the first thing I want to do when we're back in a theater is direct Into the Woods.' And they said 'Yes.' " And so, I've loved this show deeply for a very long time."ĭeBessonet says in the darkest days of the pandemic, she found herself thinking about one particular lyric, from the song "No More," after she put her three-year-old son to bed.
And the fact that a lyric has the power to hold, not just one or two meanings, but four or five meanings. "This was the cast album that taught me what lyrics can do. "This cast album I credit with my obsession with lyrics," explains deBessonet. She says she listened to the cast album as a kid growing up in Baton Rouge, La.

Spring over the ground like a hunting-hound! We will kiss them all, and play snow-ball Hear the bells ring, "Ting-a-ling-ding!", One stanza has the word that ends in the M sound rhyme with the word that ends in the N sound.
The original piece had twelve stanzas, though only four are typically included in the song. Although the modern Thanksgiving holiday is not always associated with snow (snow in late November occasionally occurs in the northern states and is rare at best elsewhere in the United States), New England in the early 19th century was enduring the Little Ice Age, a colder era with earlier winters.
For instance, the line "Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!" becomes "Hurrah for Christmas Day!" As a Christmas song, it has been recorded as "A Merry Christmas at Grandmother's". The song version is sometimes presented with lines about Christmas, rather than Thanksgiving. The poem was eventually set to a tune by an unknown composer.
