GIANTS IN THE SKY #1 - James Lapine, the Bookwriter and Original Director

Introducing GIANTS IN THE SKY, a brand new podcast hosted by BEN RIMALOWER. The first first episodes will drop here, but make sure to follow the podcast everywhere you find your podcasts, or using http://bpn.fm/giantsinthesky.

James Lapine lets us into the origins of Into the Woods, from his very first conversations with Sondheim to Patti LuPone's audition for Cinderella, and ultimately the Broadway triumph and why it was important for him to direct the broadcast cameras rather than delegating the filming of the show to the director of the Golden Girls, as had been done for Sunday in the Park with George. Join host Ben Rimalower for this candid conversation exploring how Sondheim and Lapine went Into the Woods.
