Thanks for returning the shoe. If you kept it a minute longer, you’d be considered a suitor, then we’d have to get you on stage, and the Prince would not be happy, the Baker’s wife would tackle you, and the witch would…well, you can imagine how that ends 😉!
Today's final perf of

A conversation I had as I walked into the store...
Her: You remind me of that singer...Heather Headley!
Me: oh! Goodness. I hear that all the time.
(2 mins later..She returns with a picture of ME)
Her: This girl. Heather! Do people tell you that you look like her?
Me: every day!

T’is true, sir! T’is incredibly true!!!!
Allow me to echo re "Into the Woods": There have been many talented interpreters of the Baker's Wife since Joanna Gleason brilliantly originated the role. But Sara Bareilles is the first I've seen to match Gleason's human complexity, while providing her own free-wheeling spin.
