Additional Into the Woods Information
|
A baker and his wife journey into the woods in search of a cow, a red cape, a pair of golden slippers and some magic beans to lift a curse that has kept them childless. Tony Award winners Bernadette Peters, Joanna Gleason and the rest of the original Broadway cast weave their magic spell over you in Stephen Sondheim's masterpiece, directed by James Lapine, a seamless fusion of fairy tale characters and what happens after "happily ever after. "With oft-recorded songs such as "Children Will Listen" and "No One is Alone," "Into the Woods" is a music lover's delight from start to finish--and will forever cement Stephen Sondheim's unparalleled position as the giant of the American musical theater.

What Customers Say About Into the Woods:

The Bottom Line:I'm willing to extend the play Into the Woods the benefit of the doubt since it has legions of followers and filmed adaptations are rarely successful, but on screen the musical is undone by a fundamental disconnect between the entertaining and lively first half and the slow and uninvolving second half; I suppose it'll do for people who are interested in the material and can't find it on a stage, but it's not a very enjoyable watch.2.5/4
I was disappointed that this wasn't the original Broadway production, but an American Theater production. I was also disappointed it was not close-captioned. Although I don't feel the seller was misleading in any way, I do wish this information had been provided.
I thought this movie of the play was amazing. The songs were well written and was a great performance.
In my opinion, this production was good for one thing--giving me a few minutes of sleep time. I tried to care about the characters, but I couldn't. I just couldn't get into this long musical play. I tried to like the characters, but couldn't. I kept waiting for the song, "Children Will Listen." Once I heard it, I used the rest of the time for sleep. I love musical theatre, but, for me, this didn't cut it.
Love the music, this stage production is top notch. A must have for musical theater fans.
