Into the Woods

Summary: Great show but could use a little trimming
Review: The best of this show is the best of Sondheim. He continues to write the most perfect, richly rhyming lyrics in Broadway history (with the important exception of Cole Porter), and the tunes are wonderful. I don't agree that Bernadette steals the show: wonderful though she is, the part is overwritten. A little less of the Witch would go a lot further. Ultimately the show belongs to Joanna Gleason and Chip Zien, who are both wonderful. When the Baker's Wife comes back and sings, "Sometimes people leave you halfway through the woods," it's definitely kleenex time. And then the Witch re-enters and sings, "Careful of what you say, children will listen." I love this show, and it is certainly well-served by this video. But it could use a bit of trimming, especially in the second act.

Summary: "Into the Woods" is the BEST MUSICAL!
Review: I borrow this movie from a friend and I never renturned it. They don't even know that I borrowed it from them. KINDA FUNNY.... But I could NEVER part with video. It is too awesome to ever give up. The music is special and to listen to it provokes sensitive emotions. BERNADETTE OWN THIS SHOWS.....She steals the whole show with "Greens" and "Children Will Listen." I swear, if you buy this movie, you will not regret it! It has been a joy to watch over and over again.

Summary: The Best Play I've Ever Seen
Review: I have been looking for this play for 9 yrs. I saw it on American Playhouse, taped it and then lost it. Bernadette Peters is exquisite which is an understatement. Joanna Gleason desevedly won Best Actress for her role as the Baker's Wife. Sondheim is a saint from heaven and a master of the English language. All of his stuff blows me away. You should buy a few copies and hide them away, for a time will come when you'll wear the first tape out, and you'll be stuck without it."AGONY" he he.

Summary: A dazzling production of Stephen Sondheim's greatest hit.
Review: If Into the Woods doesn't contain all of Sondheim's greatest music and lyrics, it's impossible to tell from this wonderful video. The first-rate cast, led by Bernadette Peters, Joanna Gleason, and Chip Zien spring to life here just as one would imagine they did onstage. The supporting cast is, likewise, excellent, and the production values are impeccable. No theatre-lover's DVD library should be without Into the Woods.
