And Emmy, two-time Tony winner Christine Baranski is lighting 1 up the big screen in the movie adaptation of Stephen Sondheim musical “Into the Woods”.
Our Deb Robert sat down with the star of the plays, one of the fairytale’s most evil characters.
“Ladies, our carriage waits.”
“Now may I go to the festival?”
“The Festival? Darling those nails; darling those clothes, the lentils are one thing but Darling, with those, you’d make us the fools of the Festival and mortify 2 the Prince! ”
“The festival lasts three nights. Surely you can let me be there for one of them.”
“The king is trying to find his sun a wife, not a scurry 3 maid. We must be gone! Go!”
Christine, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. You are so mean! Where do you channel the wickedness? Where did you find them?
I don’t know where that mean has come through because I’m such a nice person. You know, I, I do, I played this deliciously -- mean characters who have great clothes, lots of attitude, great, the won liners. This has been my career. It’s been a pretty great ride, and you know, Cinderella’s wicked stepmother, you know, you got the blunt wigs 4 a little too big. The clothes are a little too much, but they are fabulous 5. The attitude, the carriage, the horses, the horse name…it was really fun.
What do you think of the finished product?
Well, I adore Rob Marshall. I think he was the perfect director for this. I worked many times with Stephen Sondheim and there’s like, four productions, so like to get to do now a movie version of one of his greatest musicals. That’s just icing on the cake. I watched it just with, just with awe 6. I think it’s such an incredible rendering 7 of that great stage musical onto the screen. It’s visually so stunning 8.
The film is just really brilliant.
It’s gonna be a great Christmas.
You’ve been so much to it.
Yeah.
Thank you so much. I’ve been looking forward to it.
“Into the Woods” opens nation wide on Christmas day.
