Into the Woods Errata

I was pleased that the Into the Woods piano/conductor score and orchestra parts had minimal errors. Still, there are a few things to be aware of:

IN GENERAL:

The published piano/vocal score is generally reliable, except for discrepancies in song numbers, measure numbers and vamps. It's useful for preparation but not highly efficient for production use.

The Witch's Lament in Act II has been revised in recent performances, and the written key is a minor third lower than what appears in the published piano/vocal score and in previous versions of the piano/conductor score. There is also an additional 12 bars of material, with the Witch repeating "Now you know what's out there in the world..." inserted prior to "No matter what you say..."

The available full orchestration score is useful for reference, but highly impractical for performance, often with only four measures per page.

ERRATA:

#1 Act I Opening, Part I - m. 80, the A-flat in the viola solo should be a G-natural. This is correct in the viola part but incorrect in the piano/vocal score.

#11 Hello, Little Girl - The narrator's first cue line in the piano/conductor score does not appear in the script.

#12 Underscore after Hello, Little Girl - The A-sharp in the left hand of m. 31 should be a G-sharp. This is correct in the cello part but incorrect in the bassoon part and piano/vocal score

#15 and #15a Rapunzel/Our Little World - There is a missing xylophone part in the piano/conductor score in m. 2 on beats 2 and 3. See percussion part for reference.

#28 It Takes Two - The second note in the top of the right hand line in m. 48 should be a B-flat, to match the vocal line. This is correct in the brass parts but wrong in the piano/conductor score.

#58 Moments in the Woods - In the piano/vocal score in m. 15, the left-hand re-struck B-flat is not in the orchestra parts.

#60 Your Fault - In mm. 15-17, the upper notes in the right hand should remain F-sharp and C-sharp throughout, and not alternate to F-natural and C-natural. The orchestra piano part is correct.

#61 Last Midnight - NB: The "chimes for revised version" in m. 155 are in the synth part.

#68 Act II Finale, Part 1 - The piano-conductor score is missing wind cues in m. 30, beginning on the last eighth-note of the second beat.
