'Into the Woods' Clip Features Actual Singing & Praise By Stephen Sondheim — VIDEO | music-all | Scoop.it
Stephen Sondheim is regarded by many to be one of the greatest – if not the greatest — living composers. Which is why it’s been wearing on the patience of fans that the promotional materials for Into The Woods had included virtually no singing. The score’s a classic one, after all, and the hordes are dying to hear what it sounds like in the mouths of actors like Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, Emily Blunt, James Corden, and the rest of the cast of the looming adaptation. Our wishes have finally been granted: The new featurette for the movie is our first real glimpse at the music.

It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Broadway musicals, so I was thrilled when it was announced that Clint Eastwood would be directing the movie version of the long-running Broadway hit “Jersey Boys.” Eastwood is a talented director and “Jersey Boys” is such a crowd-pleasing musical that the forthcoming movie musical was certain to be a hit.

Director Bob Fosse was anything but faithful when he adapted this Kander and Ebb tuner set in 1930s Berlin. Major characters were dropped along with most of the songs as the story zoomed in on the Kit Kat Kub, where American singer Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) lived a bohemian existence under the growing shadow of Nazism. A romantic and terrifying evocation of a unique moment in history, the film is elevated by the iconic performance of Joel Grey as the subversive Emcee singing "Money, Money" and "If You Could See Her." And that stirring anthem "Tomorrow Belongs to Me," sung by a wide-eyed member of the Hitler Youth? Absolutely chilling.
