Into the Woods, Original Broadway Cast (1989)

Cast: Bernadette Peters (Witch), Kim Crosby (Cinderella), Ben Wright (Jack), Chip Zien (Baker), Joanna Gleason (Baker's Wife)
The rest of the amazing original Broadway cast info can be found on IBDb's Into the Woods page.

WOW! What a show! We got so lucky! My high school thespians group went to see Into the Woods not knowing that they were recording for PBS that night and the entire original Broadway cast was back for one night only. Since I went to high school in Pittsburgh, PA, this was amazing luck for us. I now own the performance I saw of Into the Woods on DVD, which is wonderful, though I wish there was a commentary track like there is for Sunday in the Park with George.

Everyone in the original Broadway cast of Into the Woods was totally amazing! Not only were they wonderful on stage, but they were very friendly off stage, as well. I am so thankful that I got to see the original Broadway cast of this wonderful Stephen Sondheim musical. It is one of my favorite musicals of all time and probably will be for years to come. The music is so wonderful and the lyrics are perfect.

Obviously, I highly recommend Into the Woods to anyone. It's a great show for those who aren't as into musicals, too.

What Sondheim does is combine a bunch of fairy tales we all know (Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel, Little Red Ridinghood, etc.) with one he created (The Baker & his Wife) to tie them all together in the woods. This is such a great story with some of Sondheim's best music and lyrics.
