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

 Excellent! December 27, 2008
My 7 year-old and I absolutely LOVE this production. She had already been exposed to all the fairy tales touched on in the play, and because of the excellent story-telling, has begun to seek out other retold fairy tales in literature. And she has printed out the lyrics to many of the songs and sings them almost constantly throughout the day.
an extremely clever musical that deserves to be more well known October 26, 2008
Most people my age have never heard of this truly wonderful composition. This opened at the Martin Beck Theatre in November of 1987 and was a success lasting for 2 years. It interlocks 5 different fairy tales : 4 well-known(Cinderella, Red Riding-Hood , Rapunzel, and Jack and the Beanstalk) and 1 original tale (a baker and his wife) The musical is a really sunny tale in the 1st act but in the 2nd act, many characters are trampled by a giant who was the wife of the one in Jack and the Beanstalk. However, this is still a highly reccomendable CD with exquisite music and I think you will like it.
(P.S. The Broadway Revival Cast and the London Cast are both dreadful, so if you have a choice, take this one)
 Not my cup of tea August 3, 2008

This is the kind of musical best experienced on stage, and I haven't yet. I'm sure that when I do, I'll be able to enjoy the music better.

If you love Sondheim, this is the best...amazing story, amazing music and wonderful cast. Fairy Tales aren't always happily ever after affairs...but then, neither is life in the real world. You just have to keep following the dream and venturing into the woods
Into the Woods April 15, 2008
This is one of my absolute favourite Musicals! Into the Woods combines wit and masterful dialogue to delight people of all ages. I love that the first Act is a Fairy Tale and that the second Act is more sinister and dark. Listen for yourself!
