James LaPine and Stephan Sondheim are brilliant together. James LaPine did a tremendously awesome job directing and Stephan Sondheim's heart-wrenching and extraordinary musical score made Into The Woods a legendary musical and the cast made it memorable. Chip Zien was zany and offbeat as the baker. Ben Wright was lively and imaginary as jack. Chuck Wagner was charismatic and hilarious as Rapunzel's Prince. Kim Crosby was lovable and dreamy as Cinderella. Robert Westenberg was Territoral as the wolf and serious as Cinderella's Prince. Joanna Gleason was an original as the baker's wife. Tom Aldridge was perfect as the narrator and was a mystery and complicated as the mysterious man who happened to be the baker's father. Pamela Winslow was perfect as Rapunzel's even thou she went mad. The most unique character of all of the character's is the Witch, Bernadette Peters once again proves that she is magical on-stage. The set's are amazing, the lighting is perfect and the special effects are incredible. The songs were all very touching, heartfelt and beautiful especially Your Fault/Last Midnight, Stay with me and Children will listen.
