Music reviews of Into the Woods (1991 Original London Cast)
Music Review: A darker interpretation of a great musical
Rating: 5 Stars
The original cast recording of INTO THE WOODS holds a special place in my heart, and it's a uniformly excellent recording. But as remarkable as that recording is, it's the London cast recording that captures the darker soul of this stunning musical. Here, Sondheim's score receives a much more dramatic treatment, full of subtle, rich performances. While the Broadway recording may be more likely to make you laugh, this recording is more likely to get under your skin.
Description of Into the Woods (1991 Original London Cast)
Stephen Sondheim's Tony-winning take on fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm, Into the Woods is probably his most accessible show, with beautiful music, a strong plot line, recognizable characters--including Red Riding Hood and Cinderella--and abundant humor (while not shying away from the occasional gruesomeness that Disney sanitized out of the original stories). This 1990 London production features a good cast headlined by stage veterans Imelda Staunton and Julia McKenzie, who are given the unenviable tasks of following Joanna Gleason and Bernadette Peters from the original Broadway cast. Unlike some shows originating in the U.S., Into the Woods works perfectly well with British accents due to the Old World subject matter, and this recording is noteworthy for a lovely duet between the Witch and Rapunzel, "Our Little World," that was not in the original production. All in all, a solid supplement to, but not a replacement for, the absolute rightness of the Broadway cast. The CD's 71 minutes are generously divided into 33 tracks, but lyrics are not included. --David HoriuchiGeneral CDs
