"So is it safe to conclude I'm the only one who doesn't like Into the Woods?"

The show got me into Sondheim, but I admit it's one of the shows I return back to the least, partially probably from watching/listening to it so much when I was 11. It did make the least fave list of a number of posters a while back on the Sondheim forum.

Anyway

3 Faves (this changes but off the top of my head):

Company
Passion
either Sunday or Sweeney

3 Least Faves

Either the new Frogs or Bounce.

Fave songs... Ummmm... I guess...

Glamorous Life (movie version)
Children and Art
Losing My Mind.
