The guy in the background is literally me.

[@Jules_123_3]

Lol me too!

[@curiiousjorge4628]

Same 😂

[@daniellamorrow]

😂😂yessss!!

[@ristygirl792]

Me too

[@captnbutter_bee5644]

Sameeee

[@adellouie]

I kept getting distracted at the guy fangirling in the back. lol

[@ciaranhaggerty]

The guy in the background makes my life.

[@emilyesposito7754]

The guy in the background is the star of the show, Tim Realbuto. I'm sorry to say that he was not fan Girling, this is actually a show about his life growing up in the theater and into the woods was the first Broadway show he ever saw, so this is all part of the act. Look at the titles at the end of the video and you'll see Tim's name in giant font. But he and Derek are friends and Tim does love his voice ( and he also loves all of your comments !)

[@TMS01261]

Love Derek Klena's performance it was great...but I must say it was the guy behind him who made my heart fuzzy.

[@lrutherford4637]

THE GUY IN THE BACK IS ME *clutches playbill to chest and giggles*

[@catheriner7786]

Derek Klena is by all definitions the perfect man.

[@TheTessaArnold]

I completely agree!

[@sidwilloughby1788]

Catherine Roberts agreed

[@madelineernst6753]

He would be so much better off with me as his wife 😂😂😂

[@elisabethjohnson2846]

i’m tweeting this

[@sabturnerson]

derek klena makes me want to continually sigh for years

[@theadventuresofmeeee]

*clutches playbill to chest and smiles widely* I LOVE HIM

[@LizzieLovesBooks]

Let's just admit it- we are all that guy in the back 🙌🏻

[@ameliahaas1663]

Derek Klena is such a wonderful musical theatre performer. I admire how he can sing with so much expression and emotion, and yet spot on with pitch and diction and sound amazing! He and some of the other young up-and-coming singer-actors give me hope for American musical theatre. I'm hopefully going to be singing this song for my Musical Theatre class's gender-bend day. Guaranteed not to sound anywhere near as good as Derek Klena, but I will be listening to this over and over for inspiration.

[@sarahglover4241]

I need a Musical Theater group that'll do a gender-bend day! (lol) Derek Klena is definitely amazing; so talented and a brilliant singer and what seems like a great personality as well.

[@carlosangel9404]

I interpret the song as a child growing up and going through all of the good, bad, exciting and terrifying experiences of life as he transitions into adulthood, learning from those experiences, and taking them back with him to make the most of the rest of his life. Such a beautiful song. One of Sondheim's best pieces.

[@alexanderzamora5930]

I fell in love with his interpretation!

[@makaylalong0520]

This is the best thing ever!!!! I'm crying....he's just so talented. He's been in all of my favorite musicals...Wicked, Dogfight, etc. Then he goes and sings this. Into the Woods is another one of my favorites. I feel happy. 😄😄😄😄😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤

[@Daniii150]

The guy in the back is so ADORABLE 😍 he is me!

[@jemimus]

Wonderful rendition.

[@gpgroupie]

This is the only performance of this song (and I've seen and heard many) that is on par with Ben Wright's version! Excellent!

[@graycewhiting6142]

this song always makes me cry (idk why)!! derek’s version is beautiful :)

[@nasugbubatangas]

I'll never get enough of Derek Klena.

[@joshray2117]

THAT GUY IS SO MEMEABLE

[@timrealbuto2764]

Go ahead and meme me! :)

[@megr.8672]

1:42 *wipes forehead to relieve self from all the hotness onstage*

[@Damsel_fly]

I relate to the guy in the background....

[@sarahvenable4710]

I found out that Taron Egerton won a student singing competition for singing this song. I'd like to see him play Jack in a production of Into the Woods. Who else?

[@salsabillasriwinaprilia7748]

THE GUY IN THE BACK IS SOOOO ME AND DEREK YOURE SUCH MY DREAM PRINCE!

[@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913]

Omg I just realized that he's in _Anastaisa_ . I didn't appreciate this video enough. His voice is beautiful.

[@alexandergadefelt9032]

First time I've understod the performace of this song. Very, very well done.

[@ILoveCarolBurnett]

Why can't there be more guys like him? I would so marry this guy in a second!

[@johnaldricsibuma1416]

add Meanings, Special Memories, and Misheard Lyrics... Play the Into the Woods Quiz [JACK] There are Giants in the sky! There are big tall terrible Giants in the sky! When you're way up high And you look below At the world you left And the things you know, Little more than a glance Is enough to show you Just how small you are. When you're way up high And you're on your own In a world like none That you've ever known, Where the sky is lead And the earth is stone, You're free, to do Whatever pleases you, Exploring things you'd never dare 'Cause you don't care, When suddenly there's a A big tall terrible Giant at the door, A big tall terrible lady Giant sweeping the floor. And she gives you food And she gives you rest And she draws you close To her Giant breast, And you know things now that you never knew before, Not till the sky. Only just when you've made A friend and all, And you know she's big But you don't feel small, Someone bigger than her Comes along the hall To swallow you for lunch. And you heart is lead And your stomach stone And you're really scared Being all alone... And it's then that you miss All the things you've known And the world you've left And the little you own- The fun is done. You steal what you can and run. And you scramble down And you look below, And the world you know Begins to grow: The roof, the house, and your Mother at the door. The roof, the house and the world you never thought to explore. And you think of all of the things you've seen, And you wish that you could live in between, And you're back again, Only different than before, After the sky. There are Giants in the sky! There are big tall terrible awesome scary wonderful Giants in the sky!

[@Horsesarethebest888]

Oh.my.gosh 0_0 so good

[@tabbyrosenthal3867]

[@kathleenw6984]

He would make such an amazing Jack! I say we need another Into the Woods revival.

0:22 (for me)

[@kirajoy4514]

1:35 me

[@jazmynrodriguez6683]

When you make all the same facial expressions as the guy in the back

[@voxextremos22]

Love this rendition and Think Derek would be a great Jack. That guy in the corner creeps me out i find him so distracting

[@maysaaalikhan962]

Why is the guy in the back so relatable 😂

[@isabelerhart9523]

İs he too old to play Jack probably 😢

[@cbentler4528]

Playing Steven Sondheim's music on piano is somewhat annoying yet thrilling at the same time. Singing his music is probably similar.

[@bluemoon9412]

The songs meant to have an english accent, just saying

[@Wavinglighter]

Not great.
