I have always loved fairy tales and Disney's happy adaptations of fairy tales, while also being intrigued by the darker original tales; so of course I wanted to see Into The Woods. Disney dropped the ball on this one and I'm glad I didn't buy it, only rented it. They didn't give Into The Woods the usual sugar-coated Disney makeover - which would've been OK if they hadn't completely overreached in their attempt to preserve the darker overtones of the original play. (They also failed to edit the 2 hour 30 minute play down to a 2 hour movie with a story that still WORKS). All this resulted in a product that is simply weird, creepy, and doesn't make sense. Something about the story got under my skin, however, and I came away from the movie feeling like "I'm glad I saw it, even though I did not love it". Fast forward nearly two years; the disappointing experience of the promising concept was still nagging at me, so I purchased and watched this version of the story after reading all the positive reviews. So glad I did! Finally, gaping plot holes were filled, AND I was able, emotionally and thoughtfully, to experience the story as it was meant to be experienced. The MOVIE makes you feel ambivalent and uneasy about its characters. Not so with the play. All the actors did a wonderful job and gave heartfelt, compassionate performances. None of the characters were wholly good or bad, just human and relatable. They are portrayed with genuine pathos. Also, the thought-provoking (and fully intact) lyrics actually make sense when they're sung in this version. Of course, Bernadette Peters steals every scene she's in, but I also very much enjoyed the marvelous performances of the actors who portrayed the Baker, his Wife, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and... well, the whole cast, really. The play is actually more family-friendly than the movie, too, even though the Baker's Wife and Cinderella's Prince are seen rolling across the forest floor in an embrace and the Wolf's costume seems to be anatomically correct (most kids probably won't know or care, it's noticeable only briefly). The point is that in the play the adult content is portrayed much more subtly and open to interpretation - an interpretation a child wouldn't make. As for the music, I will refrain from comparing the singing in the two productions; to compare the pop style of the movie and the Broadway style of the play would be a useless 'apples and oranges' argument. At any rate, this play is definitely worth the $8.99 and the 2 1/2 hours; I am glad I saw it AND love it. I hope you love it, too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A Primer for Living a Mentally Healthy Life *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2012* If there's a modern-day Shakespeare who understands and translates the complicated relationships of the 20th--and 21st--centuries into accessible, entertaining, moving works, it's Steven Sondheim, as I see it. I haven't seen or listened to all of his works but based on what I have seen (Gypsy, Pacific Overtures, Sunday in the Park with George, Company, Into the Woods, to name a few), he pretty much nails it. If there's one Sondheim work that sums it all up for us, Into the Woods is it. Basing the show on familiar, centuries-old fairy tales(Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and nods eventually to Sleeping Beauty and Snow White), Sondheim weaves a story that takes basic human emotions, relationships, desires, weaknesses, struggles, disapointments, sorrows, failures, and triumphs and turns out a tapestry that explains the things we do selfishly and selflessly that make us all human, and worthy. Good and evil are not as simple as black and white, as some who adhere strictly to religious beliefs would have us believe. Children are not perfect and symbolic witches and giants are not evil incarnate. The songs "Children Will Listen" and "No One is Alone" instruct more about the human condition than most will ever get from any psychology textbook. I saw Into the Woods in the late 1980s when my first child was very young and its impact on my childraising skills, and my understanding of my relationships with my parents and significant others, was like a lightbulb turning on. I have given the DVD of the Bernadette Peters production and/or the original cast album (the production of which tells the story succinctly without even seeing the show) to relatives and friends with children, as a gift. Into the Woods is a gift from Steven Sondheim. I watch or listen to it often and it always moves me, sometimes to tears. It's not always available so if you're interested in it, I suggest you grab it when you can. The LP was produced with a libretto of the show, a special treat, if you can find it. Note: the DVD is a videotaped production of a live show on Broadway starring Ms. Peters and an outstanding cast. The laughter and applause is not hammy and the production is exceptional. I gave this five stars because that's the scale, but I give it 10 in this review. Note also: it's not for small children, but children of 10-12 will probably be engaged. I suggest watching it as a family. The lessons may escape the children but the story is engaging and they will probably remember it and want to see it again. It will mean more on later viewings. Into the Woods should be an essential part of the family library. You should definitely go Into the Woods. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Into the woods into greatness *by D***Y on Reviewed in Canada on October 31, 2023* This is a true masterpiece by sondheim.
