Into the Woods (1987 Original Broadway Cast) Specifications
As conceived by Stephen Sondheim and cocreator James Lapine (following their Pulitzer Prize-winning Sunday in the Park with George), Into the Woods tells the intricate tale of multiple fairy-tale characters crossing paths in the woods, not merely resolving the characters' dilemmas but also exploring what happens after happily ever after. Sondheim's chamber-scale music, recipient of the 1987 Tony for Best Score, is one of his most beautiful and accessible, and is at its most poignant in "No More," "No One Is Alone," and "Children Will Listen." The original Broadway cast is outstanding top to bottom, most notably Bernadette Peters as a rapping witch and Joanna Gleason, who won a Tony for Best Actress. The CD booklet includes production photos and--so important for a Sondheim show--full lyrics. Fortunately, this cast was also captured on video and DVD. --David Horiuchi
Customer Reviews
I was a fan of this music when I make a screening of the PBS is in the early 90s. The musical had an irreverent look, which we all more or less grown up fairy tale.
So I thought it was overshadowed by the successes of Les Miserables and Phantom.
The characters are lovable and voice are easy to follow.
My personal favorite recording is "Agony"
