I consider this to be the definitive version of Into the Woods.
No doubt!💖
Joanna Gleason won the Tony award for her portrayal as The Baker’s Wife in the original production. Pure class.
Speaking as a theater person (playwright and artistic director of a teeny tiny theater), live shows have a certain advantage that a movie can never replicate: that live audience reaction, that feeds and grows energy from the audience to the people on stage. There's also a spark with actors who work well and long together to have new little moments within scenes, to grow the piece over time. A movie is a gem, set in stone, unchangeable from its final print (well, director's cuts, etc., but basically, the movie is the movie). There are human imperfections that enrich a live performance. This piece was written and conceived for the advantages of the stage, and for me, it didn't translate organically to movie form.
I must agree with the title. I saw the original Broadway musical on a try with my high school A.P. Drama class during my senior year in 1988. Yeah, I was one of those "theatre kids" ever since elementary school and had serious music conservatory, Broadway and voice acting goals and determination to live and work in Manhattan. I did accomplish one goal: I moved to NYC in my very early 20s and resided there for 15 years - but never became the actress/singer I studied & aspired to be. It's said that "there's a lightbulb, for every broken heart, on Broadway."
I'm one of them.
Anyway, the show was stupendous and I purchased the soundtrack from COLONY RECORDS on W. 49th Street in the Theater district after the performance before all of us piled back into the charter bus returning us to our school in northeastern Maryland; still humming the now late, great Stephen Sondheim tunes in my head. Nothing compares to experiencing a LIVE Broadway performance with an actual pit orchestra. This wasn't the first B'way show I'd seen. It was my second, but remains memorable. And I treated myself to see it again with actress Phylicia Ayers-Allen in the role of the Witch that B'way legend Bernadette Peters originated. I must admit, Ms. Phylicia killed it! Fantastic job! My face character from that show was the actress whom played "the Baker's Wife". She was hilarious.😂
I was apprehensive about viewing the film INTO THE WOODS on cable, even if there were notable names in the cast. No disrespect to them, but I changed the channel almost halfway through. SMH. Too bad
Anyway, I'm looking forward to your reaction! Take care.
🎭
Yes I agree the film leaves much to be desired … I LOVE musicals, have seen many, played in some local productions even and I cannot even deal with the movie version…
When shit goes down, people will point fingers at each other, but it the end, it doesn't really matter. In fact, in the script for the show, the "it's your fault" song is actually titled "Our Fault".
My college did this play years ago, and I was fortunate to play flute in the orchestra. Beautiful, complicated score, like many things Sondheim composed. My favorite thing was they put Snow White and Sleeping Beauty behind glass in the lobby, one on each side. Snow White was sweeping, Sleeping Beauty was sewing before the show. During intermission they were both asleep. Then when they appeared at the end of the show, it was like an Easter Egg for the audience.
Kemi, I'm so glad you watched this one! 🧚♀ It was an episode of AMERICAN PLAYHOUSE which aired on PBS in March of 1991. I'd known the music since college in 1987. The brilliance comes from the performances, of course, but mostly from Stephen Sondheim's lyrics. He also wrote lyrics for such Broadway-musicals-which-became-movies like WEST SIDE STORY (1961), GYPSY (1962), SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET (2007) and a more recent WEST SIDE STORY (2021). You should watch those, too. They are as intricate, clever and meaningful. 🧚♂ Thank you, again, for your reaction... and I'm so glad this production appealed to you! 🧚
Bernadette singing stay with me gives me chills every time. Her head voice and the way she floats through the notes. You’re sad for her and also mad at her. It’s amazing!!
I love the Broadway version!
Bernadette Peters!💖
I love your reaction. TY.💖
Far more emotional than the film version. More theater reaction please!
I saw this production and they filmed it on the day we saw it. I met the cast after it.
Yeeeees musical theater reactions!!! I love this production. 29:30 I would similarly recommend "Sunday in the Park with George". Same composer, Bernadette Peters, similar cast.
YES! She would LOVE Sunday in the Park with George! (It's hard not to.)
@@Scott3843 move on will probably make her very emotional
Great reaction. I love the song “Agony”. Robert Westenberg (Cinderella’s Prince) married Kim Crosby (Cinderella) in the early 1990s.
This production just gets bettyer with every watch. I had the fortune to work with some very talented teenagers, and we made an adaption of this production, where I turned the songs into recitals. We had so much fun with it, and as you said, there are so many qoutes and little morals in this. I recommend rewatching it again and again....and again.
To me the Disney movie version seemed like the heart was taken out of the story; which is very obviously displayed here in the stage production. Along with a lot of the important messages shown here in the play seemed to be gone from the movie version.
It’s odd because James Lapine wrote the screenplay.
Sideways described it as taking the jokes out of shrek. He had a point
I love watching people react to theater things. Your joy is so infectious, it reminds me of all my giddy feelings regarding my passion. This is a treat to watch ☺️
Chip Zien, who played the Baker, recently closed a beautiful Broadway show called Harmony YESTERDAY! Looking forward to watching your reaction.
I 💖Chip. He's a FB friend.
Bernadette Peters was a muse for Sondheim. He wrote these roles with her in mind and her voice was, of course, a perfect match to the role. It was a magic Pairing. Sondheim is a complex composer with amazing time signatures and very complex ensemble pieces.
So glad you liked this. This was the first musical I ever did. Made me fall inlove with theater. The rest is history. I think you would really like Sunday in the Park with George. It’s also Sondheim music. It’s beautiful. There is a filmed version of the Broadway cast. Bernadette is in it aswell. And so Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride.
What a wonderful reaction! This is such a wonderful production, and more complete and richer than the film. The movie just didn’t have the spirit that this version had. And they cut out the the reprise of the Princes’ “Agony” from the second act. That was a true crime! LOL.
I highly recommend the Broadway version of another Sondheim-Lapine musical called “Sunday in the Park with George.” It’s brilliant, if more esoteric than “Into the Woods.” It’s all about art and the life of artists. There are several cast members from ITW in it as well.
I like the movie, I LOVE the show. I was fortunate enough to play the Witch in a community theater version of it in the 1990s. It's my favorite musical ever. Thank you for reacting to both!!
Oh Kemi I’m so glad you watched this! It’s a beautiful play and the film was beautiful. Anything fairytale, I love. I’ll always, always be supporting you and here for you, you are a shining light. Much love and God bless!❤️💜
I'm so happy that you've discovered the absolute genius of *Stephen Sondheim!* He wrote all the music and the lyrics that you heard. All of his other works are equally as expertly crafted, but this one holds a special place in my heart 💞💞 Rest in Peace Mr. Sondheim
Saw this production opening night weekend at age 13 with my family and been obsessed ever since.
This stage performance is just absolute brilliance.
I have been inlove with this musical since it opened. I purchased the original cast album as soon as it went on sale. I saw this video on its original showing and it just deepened my love of it and what it said, Finally I saw it on stage with one of the original touring company, So with my history I could not bring myself to see the movie, especially when I heard how they gutted the story, I am glad that you decided to watch the stage production. As someone who worked in theatre I still love a live production. Movie are great but once you see a live show there is nothing as special. Those moments can never be repeated, so we are lucky to have a video record.
Thank you for talking about things. What you’ve said is so true . What you said is so true and it’s why I think this musical is something else
The princes are a great source of comedy. But I also think their “agony” is real. Their bravado is covering up a deeper emptiness, stemming from a life without consequences. This is subtly hinted at in lines like “What’s so intriguing, or half so fatiguing, as what’s out of reach?”, or “The harder to get, the better to have.”
Since everything is at their fingertips, nothing really drives or interests them unless it’s something they can’t have. This is best summarized in “Moments” where the same moment clearly holds different significance to both he and the Baker’s Wife. Afterwards she concludes “If life were made of moments, even now and then a bad one. But if life were only moments, then you’d never know you had one” The Princes can’t even find joy, or appreciate the “moments” they have, because they all come so easily to them.
I love this reaction so much. I have watched and loved your channels for years now. you have so much love in you. and it colors all of how you hear music, see movies, see plays, and more. you have such depth and understanding and such a love of others and humanity. you really love and respect other people. you understand how important other people are in our lives. how important connection is in out lives. I always feel better and warmer after I have watched a reaction by you. you give me hope. you show me that people are better than most would have us believe. thank you for showing us this. we are blessed to have you living, loving, and responding to art in life. thanks for posting!
You made me cry dearest. Thank you for being so generous with your words ❤️❤️❤️
10:59 - I don’t think we’re _supposed_ to approve of the Wife’s rationalization when they trade with Jack for Milky White. It’s meant to make us aware. of _our own_ potential capacity for deceit and self deception; not because we are mean, or evil, but simply (as you said) out of desperation.
27:42 - It is interesting to compare and contrast this Witch with Mother Gothel in Tangled. The actions of both are similar in many ways, but the Witch genuinely loves Rapunzel (even if that love is deeply toxic) whereas Mother Gothel is purely using her “daughter” for the powers of her hair.
I think you mistake my ability to empathize with the Wife for approval. Everything can be understood - when you realize that we are capable of anything when desperate.
@@ScenecrlyK.S.O.
I mean, you’re not wrong! They DID take advantage of Jack’s innocence and naïveté.
I love live theaters. I've unfortunately never gotten to see this play live. I knew you'd love "No More", which I was so disappointed wasn't in the movie.
Told yah! 😁 Also you can't beat Bernadette Peter's Witch. If you want to see more of her, check out Sunday in the Park with George. The pro shoot is also available on youtube.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this!! It's soooo much better than the movie.
Awesome reaction of my favorite play!!!!😊😊😊😊
And here another Sondheim fan is born. I'd recommend you eventually watch Sunday In the Park with George, with Bernadette here and also Mandy Patinkin.
I'm obsessed with Sunday in The Park with George with Bernadette & Mandy.... It's oddly the one thing my family and I have in common, because I watched the stage play so much (on video) when I was younger that my sister and mom (independently) will still say(sing) to me "Who was at the zoo George? Who was at the zoo? The monkeys and who George? The monkeys and who?"❤
@@CRAkins1020 It is my favorite Sondheim show by a country mile. I had the immense privilege of seeing the revival with Jake Gyllenhaal a few years ago, and even got to meet him very briefly at the stage door.
P.s. I've over 100 copies of the painting in all forms (even the dish set I use today) and a bit of trivia. In the opening scene of the 1970s movie Barbarella (with Jane Fonda) the painting is floating around as she's waking up in zero gravity with the title song while she's undressing.

YESS! I'm so glad you checked out this version after the movie. SO much deeper and more complete than the trimmed-down version they did in the film. :)
Can’t wait!!! And couldn’t agree more!!
You got the nail on the head IMO with your analysis of how act 2 is all about the manifestations of all the characters' traumas.
I thought your perspective on little red riding hood and her SA by the wolf is spot on.
Yes I agree I love this version
Can’t wait to see what else you will react to! Love this here in So. Cal USA 🇺🇸 ❤️❤️❤️ Love musicals Love to all reading this from wherever you are ❤️❤️
I am so happy you watched this and I could see the joy it brought you. The movie isn’t terrible but this has so much more lightness, humor, and heart. Thanks for making my day.
Sondheim was a legendary word smith! So much clever writing and turns of phrase.
My favorite is "It's your father's fault/ that the curse got placed/ and the place got cursed in the first place"
The witch in the show gives major Gothel vibes. Especially during the "Stay with me" number. It sets up the gut punch in act 2.
Donna Murphy (the voice actress of gothel) actually played the witch at one point!
Wow, your analysis is so apt! Really great for looking at this for the first time!
I already watched the film - so it’s not really my first throw at the story. There were additional scenes with the stage though- which I liked.
I loved this so much when it was originally on PBS so many years ago that I bought it when it first came out on home video. It was quite pricey but worth it.
Another beautiful Sondheim theater piece (with James Lapine, the book writer on this) that was filmed is “Sunday in the Park with George” - with a few of the same actors as Into the Woods. It is a bit more serious, but lovely. I promise you that you will cry with joy at the end of Act one. It might not garner views, but treat yourself offline some evening. You won’t regret it.
Fabulous! So glad you watched it.
One of many wonderful Stephen Sondheim musicals.
And remembering Chita Rivera, who passed away yesterday...the first Latina to win a Tony award for her performance as Anita in the 1957 original Broadway production of "West Side Story" (also Sondheim's first outing as a lyricist). Here she is:

Love This Musical... And The Deeper Meaning... But Beautfull I Was Amazed By Your Reaction ❤ Love And Kindness To ALL.
i had just watched your movie reaction, so glad your watching the stage version, it’s so much better… Let’s watch! Bernadette Peters is by far the best witch.
Fun fact: Cinderella and her Prince are married in real life.
They met while playing in this show together.
Awesome reaction Kemi!!! I prefer this version over the movie one as well. I saw this one when it was brand new many years ago and it has always had a special place in my heart. I was even lucky enough to be part of the crew for a Utah Musical Theater production of the play. It was so delightful to be a part of it.
I hope you will consider reacting to the movie version of Les Miserables. It is a beautiful story as well with extremely moving songs. I think you will love it!!!
Have an awesome day hun!!! ❤😁☺️
I so much prefer the stage version! By the way, I like the new wall art behind you.
Kemi this is one of my fave reactions.
Thank you.❤
My fave line
"Some of us don't like the way you've been telling it!"😂
My pleasure!!
@Scenecrly✌💖K.S.O.
I love the Agony reprise with the princes. In all the fairytales the lrince is always just 'prince charming', no character development so it makes sense that when they get married they still yearn to be the same as always, saving the new damsel in distress.
Darn right the stage play is better than the film!
Love your voice
Sondheim was a genius!
Lovely lady you need to see the 10th anniversary of Les Miserables on stage.
Also the 25th anniversary of phantom of the opera
Les Miserable - already done on Patreon
@@ScenecrlyK.S.O.sadly I can’t afford
no worries just be patient it will be up here soon@@Angelicwings1
@@ScenecrlyK.S.O. I will look forward to it lovely lady :)
I am BEYOND ecstatic that you decided to watch this version and put your review on RUclips!!!
This truly is the best one, with Bernadette Peters. Not many people take the time to watch the play/read the book that a movie was based on... but most of the time, they're better!
Theater is amazing. If you ever do Phantom of the Opera don't watch the movie. Watch the production with Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess. Just amazing ❤
Rapunzel is 14 years old I think
The movie didn’t do the stage play justice it took out so many elements especially the layers of the witch
you were cooking with the father taking the beans from the witch being a metaphor for something else. it may be a lil far fetched to suggest, but the fact that he took something from her out of greed and then she ended up with his child Rapunzel. just a theory, but could've been an affair or something worse
Hell yes, it's better!
We got more Sondheim! ❤
Sweeney Todd is my favorite of his.
Anyways I hope you get to watch Knives Out and Glass Onion.
well I love your content really i do, unfortunately I won't be able to make requests. I don't have Patreon.
This film does such an excellent job of truly capturing the magic of this show!!
😍
I agree the stage show is better :)
When you have a full cast of trained stage singers + Sondheim's work 🤌
There's no contest.
You may also enjoy the work of Andrew Lloyd Webber. His version of Phantom of the Opera is what most people think of, and there is also an ok movie adaptation (the one with Gerard Butler and Patrick Wilson).
