Da List has been finalized!!! Thanks everyone for your suggestions! The ones I didn't take directly still influenced most of the songs I chose...
 **** “Chives?†“Yes, m’lud?†“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?†“Indeed m’lud. She’s marshalled all the haggle-dans. Missy-twigs and vale-nymphs from Claypole Woods. Apparently she intends to tear this house down and dance on the ruins.†“Well, Chives, you’d better start the car, what? And pack my tennis things too†--- Joe 3Heads |

...upon reviewing the lyrics of my playlists, there are two unintended themes that have surfaced:
1) Jesus 2) The Murder of Unfaithful Lovers ...must be a Southern Thang. **** “Chives?†“Yes, m’lud?†“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?†“Indeed m’lud. She’s marshalled all the haggle-dans. Missy-twigs and vale-nymphs from Claypole Woods.

There is a serious lack of bluegrass on that playlist, for a southern-themed mix...

My last mix had a ton of bluegrassy-ness, since we were headed for the Blue Ridge Mtns. This time I was looking more for a Delta Blues-y sound. I just realized there is ONE song missing from these Songs of the South: Dueling Banjos. Aaaand...added to the Alabama playlist. **** “Chives?†“Yes, m’lud?†“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?†“Indeed m’lud. She’s marshalled all the haggle-dans. Missy-twigs and vale-nymphs from Claypole Woods. Apparently she intends to tear this house down and dance on the ruins.†“Well, Chives, you’d better start the car, what?

I would add one more song:
"Honeysuckle Blue" by Drivin 'n' Cryin And how could the list be complete without a song by Alabama? I recommend "Song of the South" **** Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves. Henry David Thoreau **** |

What? No Abba? No Hedwig soundtrack? No Erasure? No Handbag House tunes? Gloria Gaynor? Tegan and Sara?

Alrighty...new playlist.
Making a mix CD as an opening night gift to my castmates. I'd like to dedicate a song to each of their characters. Since it's Into the Woods, which is based on Grimms Fairy Tales, you all are probably familiar with these (with the exception of the Baker and Baker's Wife): Cinderella Jack (of Beanstalk fame) Jack's Mother Little Red Riding Hood Little Red's Granny Wolf Rapunzel Witch Cinderella's Step-Family Cinderella's Prince Prince's Steward Rapunzel's Prince Giant('s Wife) Snow White Sleeping Beauty Baker Baker's Wife Narrator So...any ideas on which songs might be appropos for each character? I already have some ideas but I'd love to see what ya'll come up with! **** “Chives?†“Yes, m’lud?†“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?†“Indeed m’lud.

Yahr, fear the power of the elf-man! Member  |
*song suggestions above* I spent more time on this than was healthy.  This was all that I came up with though. This was fun. ------------------------------ my cup runs over but I am so blind I just complain as it spills around me |

Lan, that is awesome. I can only think of one right now - Potter's Field by Tom Waits for the Wolf. Because Tom Waits is very growly, and it's got a great switchblade reference.

For Cinderella, the songs that came immediately to mind were Glass Slipper by the Dresden Dolls ( lyrics), which is a great song but might not send a great message to the recipient (depends on her personality, I guess), and By the Way that They Dance by Jump, Little Children ( lyrics), which I always associated with Cinderella, but is a much looser connection.
EDIT/NOTE: I'm mostly thinking of the traditional Cinderella, here, though I think the second option fits fairly well for the Sondheim version - if only because I tend to assume that if "everyone knows" something, it isn't really true.

For the narrator, I googled around and found Storyteller by French "symphonic power/speed metal" band Fairyland (no idea what they sound like - I just google them, fellas
 ).

Well thanks for your input, you lovely people! My play list is a bit more pop-oriented and literal than I would usually do, but it's a pop-oriented group of musical theatre types who like nothing better than have an excuse to sing loudly and dance around.
So, here's what I came up with: Into the Woods: The Mixtape 1)Cinderella: I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston 2)Stepmother & Father: Family- Zach Gill & Jack Johnson 3)Florinda & Lucinda: I Can See Clearly Now- Johnny Nash (cuz in the play the stepsisters get their eyes pecked out by birds. Ha!) 4)Cinderella’s Prince: When Doves Cry- Prince 5)Jack: Jumpin’ Jack Flash - The Rolling Stones 6)Jack’s Mom: Mother - Christina Aquilera (covering John Lennon) 7)Milky White: (Jack's Cow) Faithfully- Journey 8)Baker: Baker: Baker- Tori Amos 9)Baker’s Wife: Criminal- Fiona Apple (if you know the play, you'll understand why I picked that'un) 10)Witch: Witchy Woman- The Eagles 11)Little Red: Li’l Red Ridinghood- Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs 12)Wolf: Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran 13)Granny: Look at Granny Run Run- Grand Funk Railroad 14)Steward: Master and Servant- Depech Mode 15)Rapunzel: Hair- Cast of Hair 16)Rapunzel’s Prince: Kiss- Prince & The Revolution 17)Mysterious Man: Father of Mine- Everclear 18)Cinderella’s Mom: Always Be My Baby- David Cook (covering Mariah Carey) 19)Giant: Take a Giant Step- The Monkees 20)Snow White & Sleeping Beauty: A Sorta Fairy Tale- Tori Amos **** “Chives?†“Yes, m’lud?†“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?†“Indeed m’lud.

Is it too late to suggest "Wicked Dickie" by Rasputina for Milky White's song?

ooh, I thought of those! but I don't know the play, so I didn't want to embarrass myself. oh, and for the Narrator...you should use "Storybook Love" from The Princess Bride soundtrack! (again, I reeeeally don't know the play, so my apologies if it's woefully out-of-place.) ~ We're just babies making up a game, if you're right.

Not out of place at all! You don't really have to know the play to make suggestions...after all, it's based on all the fairy tales...
(But sadly, I've started burning CDs, so no bonus tracks. I love your suggestion though!) **** “Chives?†“Yes, m’lud?†“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?†“Indeed m’lud.
