Our Deb Robert sat down with the star of the plays, one of the fairytale’s most evil characters.

 

“Ladies, our carriage waits.”

 

“Now may I go to the festival?”

 

“The Festival? Darling those nails; darling those clothes, the lentils are one thing but Darling, with those, you’d make us the fools of the Festival and mortify² the Prince! ”

 

“The festival lasts three nights. Surely you can let me be there for one of them.”

 

“The king is trying to find his sun a wife, not a scurry³ maid. We must be gone! Go!”

 

Christine, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. You are so mean! Where do you channel the wickedness? Where did you find them?

 

I don’t know where that mean has come through because I’m such a nice person. You know, I, I do, I played this deliciously -- mean characters who have great clothes, lots of attitude, great, the won liners. This has been my career. It’s been a pretty great ride, and you know, Cinderella’s wicked stepmother, you know, you got the blunt wigs⁴ a little too big. The clothes are a little too much, but they are fabulous⁵. The attitude, the carriage, the horses, the horse name…it was really fun. 

 

What do you think of the finished product?

 

Well, I adore Rob Marshall. I think he was the perfect director for this. I worked many times with Stephen Sondheim and there’s like, four productions, so like to get to do now a movie version of one of his greatest musicals. That’s just icing on the cake. I watched it just with, just with awe⁶. I think it’s such an incredible rendering⁷ of that great stage musical onto the screen. It’s visually so stunning⁸. 

 

The film is just really brilliant. 

 

It’s gonna be a great Christmas. 

 

You’ve been so much to it. 

 

Yeah.

 

Thank you so much. I’ve been looking forward to it.

 

“Into the Woods” opens nation wide on Christmas day.
