January 31 is the LAST day to sign up for first-quarter (January through March) and annual ALL-ACCESS Passes for The Broadway Maven.
Passholders get:
• Automatic registration to everything;
• Tuition waivers on paid classes (tentatively scheduled fee-based courses for 2022 include a month-long “Hamilton and Lin-Manuel Miranda” seminar and a nine-part “Introduction to Broadway”)
• Special invitations to monthly exclusive classes (For example, we’re doing Andrew Lloyd Webber in early 2022: CATS in January, Phantom of the Opera in February, and Jesus Christ Superstar in March);
• Monthly exclusive Watch Parties (coming up: Next to Normal and Ain’t Misbehavin’); and
• The Weekly Blast for FREE.
I’ve slashed the price of the January-March Pass from $79 to $69; and the price of the Annual 2022 Pass from $225 to $195. On sale through January 31st only.
Why does a show with the purported theme “Children Will Listen” spotlight two disobedient children (Little Red and Jack)? Who’s the antagonist in Into the Woods (the answer will surprise you)? What’s the “bean motive” and how does it form the backbone of the score? And what’s the real theme of the show?
We’ll answer those questions and more in our Into the Woods class on Monday, January 24 at Noon and 7 pm ET.
This week’s homework examines the Freudian aspects of Into the Woods. Choose one character and decide what aspect of that character seems Freudian to you. Explain your answer in the comments.
Note: links to register for ALL classes are ALWAYS available at TheBroadwayMaven.com.
