Today marks the start of National Storytelling Week, apparently. According to the website:
Oral storytelling is one of the most ancient art forms, continuing to this day as a vibrant part of culture throughout the world and so many of these old tales have their roots in the wonders of the outside world - possibly the most mystical place of all!What better way to kick off a week about storytelling than with a work by one of the greatest exponents of the genre (in musical form, of course) Mr Stephen Sondheim, who reinterpreted the ideas of two others with sublime powers of imagination the Brothers Grimm for Into The Woods:
And, as a special bonus this Tacky Music Monday, how about the hilarious "who has the worst Princess-in-peril dilemma" duet Agony - featuring Chris Pine and Billy Magnussen as the "Handsome Princes"?
Have a great week, peeps - and try and live happily ever after...
I didn't even expect nice clips, I came for the oral.
