FILMMAKING FACTS
·
Production
on “Into the Woods” began in September, 2013 at Shepperton Studios and on
locations
throughout England.
·
Stephen
Sondheim has received eight Tony® Awards, more than any other composer in
history.
He has won seven times: Best Music and Best Lyrics for “Company” (1971); and
Best
Score
for “Follies” (1972), “A Little Night Music” (1973), “Sweeney Todd” (1979),

·
The foundation of
the Woods set, built on Stage H at Shepperton Studios, was made up of
2,000
tons of soil, over 600 ferns, acres and acres of ivy and countless pallets of
moss and turf.
·
95
percent of the trees used on the Woods set were real trees, which included
30-foot pine
trees
and hundreds of 25-foot oak tree branches, the leaves of which had to be
removed and replaced with artificial ones (so they would last longer). The
remaining five percent were full-sized whimsical trees constructed from plaster.
·
There were four
cows cast to play Milky-White. Their names were Tug, Diamond, Two Fold
and Pearl.
·
Rapunzel’s hair
in the film is 20 feet long. The braid
is made from real hair and weighs
almost six pounds.
·
The
music for the film was pre-recorded over a two-week period at Angel Studios in
London
with a 56-piece orchestra, composed of some of the best
musicians from the London
Symphony Orchestra and London
Philharmonic.
