Okay. Weird.. Right. Not only was this cut and changed from the original, but some things are just plain dumb. An electric drum machine behind the witch's rhythmic monologue? Yes, I know it's supposed to be 'rap-style', but I think we can leave the bad 80's percussion out of it. I've never seen this version performed; does the witch breakdance as well? However, the performance of 'Last Midnight' has a haunting quality that I quite like. If I had my druthers, I'd return most of the album but keep that song in spite of some re-written lyrics. I do wish the complete original cast recording were available.

Lots of hate for some reason. Crazy the amount of hate for this version. Is it the original? No. Should it be? No...why would anyone want an exact copy of another production? There are aspects I like a lot better in the original version, but this one shouldn’t be brushed aside so quickly. First: Our Little World is an amazing song, and I can’t believe it’s not included in more productions. It’s beautiful and gives more character development to both the witch and Rapunzel. Second: Hello Little Girl: this being more of a duet between two wolves is interesting, gives more of s creeper vibe. Third: While they cut my favorite line from last midnight and replaced it I think it still sounds amazing. I think Vanessa, Bernadette, and Meryl all have very different Interpretations of the song, and all three are amazing. Don’t fall into the closed minded theatre person trap and write this recording off...it’s a great listen, and the quality is super clear as well since it did come out 15 years after the original.

Wait for the Original. I'm doing a performance of this for my skool this summer and it is better than this wait on it. If you can't wait you can go on Youtube and search "Into the Woods Act I Part I" and the person who does that has the entire original cast performance of it on there and it's awesome. anyway if you find this helpful say so, so that they will get the original

Please take note.... This recording had its moments in which I felt a little disappointed. But, overall, I think they did a great job. I have read through what other people have said about this recording, and by the looks of it, some was just outright arrogant. I agree, the original cast recording will always be the better of the two to me. But, like most of us, we grew up with that cast. And, with every revival, things change. There are different interpretations, different actors, directors, and in this case new songs. If you are a director or musical director of this show, or even someone comparing the two, it is important to realize what production you are doing. This cast has a far larger cast and new important characters, ie Snow White is now a lead in a sence instead of just a one liner. So, dont listen to this and say to yourself, this was nothing like what the high school did without knowing what production they did. And, if you are directing the show. It is important for the cast to listen to different recordings. If they just listen to one, it encourages them to act and sing just like they did in the recording. This fails to allow them to create and make their own character. If they listen to both, even one that you may think is a poor recording, it will encourage them, to pick out parts they like and do not like and therefore also encourage them to come up with some of their own ideas. So, even if you are a fan of the original, this is still worth buying, it will make you a better listener and encourage analysis and critique

A Creative Reimagining.. Those who are looking for the original cast album, should be dissapointed, it is not the same thing. Though the songs are the same the cuts are cleaner and the audio levels aren't as jumpy. Plus Vanessa Williams and Bernadette Peters sound nothing alike. So It is a different but excellent revival of a classic broadway favorite.
