A preview fit for a prince!

Ahead of the upcoming Broadway revival cast recording of Into the Woods — which will be released digitally on Friday — Joshua Henry and Gavin Creel can be seen recording their hilarious duet, "Agony," in an exclusive video shared with PEOPLE.

Henry, 38, and Creel, 46, originated the roles of Rapunzel's Prince and Cinderella's Prince, respectively, in the latest Broadway revival of the Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine musical, which opened this summer.

Into the Woods follows various fairytale characters all determined to make their wishes come true — particularly the Baker (Sebastian Arcelus) and his wife (Stephanie J. Block), who yearn to become pregnant. They learn, however, that a spell was cast upon their family years ago by the Witch who lives next door, and in order to reverse the curse, they must venture into the woods and bring back items to concoct a special potion for the enchantress.

Following the musical's run earlier this year as part of New York City Center Encores!, Into the Woods began performances June 28 at the St. James Theatre.

Directed by Encores! Artistic Director Lear deBessonet, it is dedicated to the memory of Sondheim, who died last year at the age of 91.
