Trivia

 * Max, who plays the Baker's Wife, shares a first name with actress MacKenzie Mauzy, who plays Rapunzel in the 2014 film (albeit spelled somewhat differently).
 * Greta plays Cinderella twice in Performer's Life: once in Into the Woods, and again in Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella.
 * Mel also plays Cinderella's Stepmother twice in both aforementioned productions.
 * This is the first musical production (or any theatrical production) that Willow performs in.
 * Because of her eyes, she was chosen to play the Witch (which is the role she auditioned for).


 * It's implied that Kash was in the audience; during intermission, Max says to Greta: "Did you see that boy in the grey hoodie? He looked love-struck watching you."
 * This is later confirmed, as Max and Greta run into him outside the theatre.
 * Greta's Cinderella ballgown is based on Christine Daae 's masquerade ballgown from the 2004 film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera.
