Title: Bernedette Is Better!!
Review: "Into The Woods" is a nice show. Bernedette Peters is a much better performer and is a better Witch than Vanesssa Williams, but the supporting characters (Jack, Little Red, Wolf) aren't on the original CD. Jack is basically the same on both CDs. Little Red is less annoying in the revival (YESSS!) and the Wolf is funnier in the revival.The worst performer is Jack's mom. She sounds like Julie Andrews after her vocal tragedy. I think the orginal is funnier, has gusto and does justice to the role. The new mom is discracefull.I didn't care for the narator. I thought he sounded too soft and not old and baggy in "No More."I did enjoy Laura Bennenti more than the orginal. But no one can be better than Joanna Gleason as the Baker's Wife. She is the tops and the new one isn't.In all, buy the Original CD! Not this CD!
