You're obsessed with...






    
You know you're obsessed with Into the Woods if...

*  You have the broadway, London, and revival cast CDs.

*  You've drawn costume and set designs- some of which you turn into cardboard models.

*  You've already begun thinking which ITW quote will be on your gravestone.

*  Not only is your room green, but you've decorated it with curly twigs.

*  You recorded the '02 Tony awards, just to watch the scene from ITW.

*  You've actually created a staff that can break and be put back together- now you're wondering how to conceal dry ice within the damn thing.

*  You can do Rapunzel's bit and Bernadette's scream without error- even when you're a male and your voice has changed.

*  You've purchased the complete vocal score, even though it's mostly impossible to play all the way through unless you're Sondheim.

*  You have made CD copies of all three casts in case anything were to happen to the originals.

*  You read all of the Grimm brother's fairytales just so you could imagine an ITW sequel in your head.

*  You plan on some day marrying a baker.

*  All of your friends who don't have a clue what ITW is know the entire score.

*  You purposely fail a grade because you hear Into The Woods in the school musical next year.

*  You have an autographed picture of Adam Wylie hanging over your bed, and you're trying to watch every show he ever guest starred in since he was ten.

*  You've created an Into The Woods collage on the cover of all your notebooks at school.

*  You write all your English assignments in school about ITW or fairytales.

*  You've bought all the Barbie fairytale dolls with characters from ITW.

*  When you go to NY, even if you can't see the show, you at least want to go to the theater and take pictures of the outside.

*  You can sing all the parts in "Your Fault" without taking a breath.

*  Or... you can sing each character's part in "Your Fault" unaccompanied.

*  You listen to a certain ITW song every night before you go to sleep.

*  You live in your ITW shirt.

*  On
The Sims
, you have one family with the last name Into, and the first names are Chip, Joanna, Bernadette, Kim, Ben, and Danielle.

*  You have a second Sims family with the strange last name of The, and the first names are Stephen, Kerry, Vanessa, Laura, Adam, and Molly.

*  Finally, the last Sims family has the last name Woods, and the first names are Baker, Baker's Wife, Witch, Cinderella, Jack, and Little Red Ridinghood.

*  When people say "I wish" you subconsiously cut them off with "I know."

*  Similarly, when people say, "But that's another story" you silently add, "never mind, anyway!"

*  You wish there were someone to argue with over whether it should be Granny/Cinderella's Mother or Granny/Cinderella's Stepmother.

*  You start a vegetable garden and ask at the nursery where the magic beans are kept.

*  You try to find out who that guy was that coughed during the taping of the DVD of ITW so you can teach him a lesson.

*  Find real bugs to squish when you're pretending to be the witch.

* You go to order a salad and start on the Witch's rap.
