Product Description

CD90404 Into the Woods (Betsy Joslyn, Cynthia Sikes, Chip Zien)

Here's a recording of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's INTO THE WOODS. The date of the recording is Dec. 11, 1988, which was Betsy Joslyn's last Broadway performance as the Witch. This recording has sometimes been circulated dated as being from July 1988. That is incorrect. This is definitely from Dec. 11, 1988. The first five minutes or so of Act Two is missing.

I believe that the source of this recording is the squawk-box (or stage monitor). The sound is generally good, a little orchestra-heavy (more so than it sounded in the house), but the voices still have generally good presence. In some ways, the balance is very nice because you get to hear more details of the orchestration than you can on the studio recordings of the score.
