 Good show, bad reissue August 20, 2007
This remains the best recording of this excellent show BUT the remastered version is presented very poorly when compared to the initial release.
No libretto, a few black and white photos (as compared to the original colour ones), and a superficial essay - not even a summary of the show's plot. Ridiculous. Sondheim deserves much better.
The bonus tracks are of minimal interest, so if you own the original, keep it. You are much better off.
 Good classic recording June 16, 2007

Well worth the money for Bernadette Peters's performance as the Witch. However, not all the minor characters are as good, and I feel the London Cast is a more rounded recording in terms of quality. I feel that all the available cast recordings for Into The Woods are lacking in some way or another, but it is a hard show to do, so it is understandable.
 Into the Woods (remastered) May 12, 2007
I first seen this musical on a local television station that was doing a pledge drive. I instantly fell in love with it. I think for one reason was cause i love fairy tales. and combining all our favorite fairy tales into one story was a awesome idea. I wrote the station asking them once a month when they were goign to re-air the program. they told me they might re-air it one day when it fit into their schedual. I can see/hear why Joanna Gleason won a Tony for her performance and it was amazing. I love all the songs on this CD but my favorites are as followed:
I Guess this is Goodbye/Maybe They're magic
I Know Things Now
It Takes Two
Stay with Me
On the Steps of the Palace
Lament
Any Moment/Moments in the Woods*
Your Fault/Last Midnight*
No one is Alone
Children will Listen
(* means Favorite)
I love all these songs for diffrent reason.
the Bonus tracks are very kewl. I love Kim Crosby's (the Original and only Cinderella for me) vocals on Back to the Palace. It is like she never left the character and the emotion is there. Boom crunch is my favorite of the bous tracks cause it is something i have always wanted to hear since i found out it was cut from the show.

This CD was my trial for the greatcomposer Stephen Sondheim. I had wanted to know his style before I went to see his movie, Sweeny Todd, (Starring Johnny Depp and Directed By Tim Burton). I had heard that this was a great buy. I gritted my teath and bought it. I knew that people said he had a different style, but I had no idea was lying instore.
AMAZING! It was absolutely stunning! I loved the CD. It was beautiful. My Mom has not developed a liking to it, and it is very sharped and flatted (Like on a piano)But beautiful. I compare it to the wonderful musical Dreamgirls, because you love it or hate it. Just as in the way that HEnry reiger used the voices to sing and not so much music; Stephen does the same thing. Like in GIANTS IN THE SKY the actopr sings one note and the piano plays a flatted or sharped version. Ity is wonderful. The Best songs are:
PROLOGUE INTO THE WOODS
EVER AFTER
HELLO LITTLE GIRL
I KNOW THING NOW
GIANTS IN THE SKY
ACT 2 PROLOGUE
YOUR FAULT
FINALE PEOPLE WILL LISTEN
BONUS TRACKS!
GIANTS IN THE SKY
BUY THIS CD! WONDERFUL AND AMAZING!!!! BEtter than the LION KING
Great sound - thin book(let) March 31, 2007

This remaster sounds wonderful. The booklet should include the lyrics and the liner notes are just poor - uninformative and fawning. However the bonus tracks are terrific, alternate lyrics for a children's version and one cut by John Cameron Mitchell before he bloomed into Hedwig (here he's Jack).
