of course everyone in this cast is outstanding but DENÉE BENTON??? she's an absolute angel, i love this woman
I knew she was in this cast, but I audibly gasped when she started to sing. She makes an enchanting Cinderella!
@@marciadamelio7244 not as much better than Carrie Hope Fletcher or Laura Osnes. Who knew Philippa Soo replaced her on Broadway?
*Cinderella is young, she loves her Prince with all her heart*
@@musicaltheatrefan2k226 There’s a ball at my house tonight. You must come.
@@musicaltheatrefan2k226 call that a reverse Great Comet cast
Man *I* wish they would make this available on streaming for those of us who can't see it in person. What items do I need to collect to make that happen?
A fortune the size of Bezos, the power of Disney, a bandwidth the strength of Netflix, An audience like that of ESPN
I would like to join that quest too, this cast is amazing and Into The Woods is my favorite Sondheim musical
This looks like a pro-shot, so praying.
A Cow as White as Milk, A Cape as Red as Blood, The Hair as Yellow as Corn, The Slipper as Pure as Gold

Heather's voice is exquisite. Her control is insane. You can HEAR the shapes she chooses to make as she sings, if that makes sense.
It is SO refreshing to finally see black actors portrayed in this iconic FAIRYTAIL and SONDHEIM musical!
It took way too long but it's beautiful!
And oh my God the actress playing Cinderella is STUNNING visually and vocally! BRAVO.
Denée Benton is so perfect as Cinderella!
DENEE!!!! She is ravishing and sounds incredible!
Now I love Peggy on The Gilded Age even more!! Girl can sing!!
I had chills the whole time just from that little snippet! Absolutely stunning.
I wish more than anything more than life more than jewels that this production could be streamed
Hoping there is a pro shot of this for people like me who can't be there. This is My favorite musical of all time.
yo can I just take a second to appreciate the milky white design?? so cool, and the amount of movement and expression you can get while it still being a pretty large puppet, and only puppeteered by one person? even cooler
oh my god denée is so incandescent!!!
For the love of the theater gods, please make this available for streaming!!!!
It would be awesome if there was a streaming service just for musicals.
@@ashsavage6971 there is, it’s called broadway HD!
we need a full version of denee singing on the steps of the palace!!
I absolutely LOVE how diverse this cast is and shows colorblind casting WORKS!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Of course it works! It is a fairy tale. Anything is possible. BTW, I love it too! ❤
denée’s voice is completely dazzling
I would gladly gather the cow as white as milk the cape as red as blood the hair as yellow as corn the slipper as pure as cold to see heather headley play the witch live (or streaming or really anything)
also the production design for this show is amazing! especially given such a short run
I’ll join you in that quest just tell me when we leave
I hate to tell you this then...(he smiled with glee)...My 2 kids and I got to see Heather Headley play the Witch in the St. Louis, MO, MUNY production of Into the Woods in July of 2015. She was FABULOUS!!! We waited in a line for just an hour to get Free tickets to see this great production and actress (He told you with an even larger smile on his face.)
That was the best Cinderella I've ever heard! Gave me literal chills!
Calm down 😬
@@benjaminfoster7560 ?
Agree!
Denee Benton is amazing!
Denée and Heather!!! Omg! I wish I could see this 😭 I hope they record this 🤞🏾
This cast is incredible, but I can't help but think about the pure joy it would've been to see Jessie Mueller do this again with Sara just given their friendship alone. Especially since Jessie has said before that she would love to go back and eventually work through more roles in it.
I saw this performance, and I just have to say that cow was a goddam STAR!
Kennedy Kanagawa the icon!!!!
They need to have THIS cast do THIS show for the next live TV musical special! PHENOMENAL!
it's been 20 years yall just bring this production to broadway
Given that the 2002 revival production closed in about 8 months, I'm not sure that will happen anytime soon, especially with them doing this concert version.
Just saw this Saturday. The opening applause for the cast was so enthusiastic and visceral it brought tears to my eyes, Theater in NY is back.
Yes! I saw it Friday and the opening applause went for at least a few minutes. It was such a wonderful experience to be with people who collectively love something so much.
1:26 the emotion in Denee's voice when she says "know" omg 😫 it's so good! "I wish" I could see this production. OMG also I have to point out when Ann hits the how at 2:28 that is such a good character choice and so funny
Deneé Benton might be the most exquisite sounding Cinderella I’ve ever heard. Also Heather 😍
I would love if they recorded this for a CD release
I had the great pleasure of seeing Heather Headley's Witch at The Muny's Into the Woods, and by golly she's still got it. What an absolute legend.
Cinderella is perfect omfg
A well sung Cinderella always slays me...
Oh my gosh this cast is absolutely stellar.
Who else REALLY wants to see a clip of Julia Lester singing “I Know Things Now” or her part in the opening number?!?
I'TS COMING TO BROADWAY THIS SUMMER! 8 WEEKS ONLY!
This looks really good. I especially love the Cinderella! Her voice is amazing!
denée really is a princess
brah F all that other noise DENEE BENTON AS CINDERELLA????? THIS IS EVERYTHING IVE EVER WANTED
Denée sounded beautiful as Cinderella!! Everyone sounded amazing, she just really stood out to me in this video
Denee sounds incredible! Casting her as Cinderella is so spot on.
I am so jealous. I want to go see this soo much. It looks awesome and a stellar cast.
This is the first musical I ever did and this makes me so happy ❤️
❤️ I so wish I could see this LIVE
I see you have this filmed, I'll be waiting for the release...I wish
Unfortunately this is just B-Roll footage
It's highly unlikely they'll make a proshot
OMG, Heather Headley is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT as the witch!
Saw it Saturday night … Excellent!!!
How I would love to see this! They look and sound like a fantastic company!
This production looks and sounds wonderful!
This is the cast which should have been in the movie. We saw this twice this week (what luck) and it was wonderful both nights. They are still not completely off book, but rehearsal only began two weeks before the first performance. Nearly everyone fits as if their roles were written for them.
I saw it today. It was magnificent.
Would have given all my beans to see this cast live!
Anyone noticed that the costumes are color coordinated like the rainbow?~ 😍
Heather please I need another R&B album STAT!! I don't know how much longer I can wait!! 💜💜💜💜
I wish I got to see this with Sara and Neil. The play was great either way. Would love to see it again some day. Been listening to the 2022 cast soundtrack nonstop.
Oh my goodness maybe a cast album will happen. Encore has done that. Please. Please. Please.
I wish I could see this! I saw the original production 8 times and was fortunate enough to see the 10th anniversay concert in 1997 with the original cast. Sondheim is/was a genius!
Loving the cast 🥰
Great cast💖😍
I need the full recording of this 😭😭😭
I’m so happy for Julia Lester!!! I wish she got more credit tho
I am seeing this tomorrow. I am so excited!!
How was it?
@@kristianm3181 Better thaan I ha hoped. The entire cast was wonderful, even the guy handling Milky White! My favorites were Gavin Creel and Heather Headley...she ws beyond fntastic and had me sshedding tears during both Stay With Me and Last Midnight.
@@hnc52 Were you at the afternoon show today bc I was!
@@raflyrio Yes! Phenomenal. The entire cast ws superb...Heather gets a special sshout out!
This CAST!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Ahhhhh-mazing cast
Granted I'm only seeing these clips and this was an excellent production but I saw the transfer to the St. James and I have to say that it was even better in my humble opinion
The cow puppet is so cute!!
I need a cast recording NOW
Please tell me that there will be a Live Soundtrack to this musical. We need this!!!!!
So sad I’ll never see it. Hopefully they make an album at least
It’s interesting that some of the cast changed when it transferred to Broadway. For example, the Baker is no longer played by Neil Patrick Harris but instead Brian D’Arcy James
It’s because this wasn’t planned to be transferred when this production was scheduled. The reception was so shockingly and overwhelmingly positive though, that it ended up moving. But as it goes, celebrities have busy schedules.
They're all great but DENEE BENTON! Such a beautiful soprano voice ! Now I need to see her as Marian, Claudia and Clara (both in Passion and Light in the Piazza)
We need proshot version 🥰
Denée is THE BEST!
I like how every character has their own color. Like Cinderella has yellow, Jack has green and Little Red has... well... red.
Please let this be Proshot!!!
😳 2:38 That Black lady tumbling lol 😂
I think this might be the first production of Into The Woods that I have seen to actually feature a redhead as Little Red Riding Hood and actually I haven't seen this production. Would like though.
i would like a cast album please
please i need to see this but i cant :' )
Bring this to Broadway and somehow work Jessie Mueller back into the cast please!
Just announced! Coming to Broadway on June 28 for 8 Weeks Only!
Heather Hedley is the best
Sara and NPH on stage together? How come I didn't know about this amazing show???
Heather 😍
I wish...✨🌹✨
Thank you for getting rid of the baker’s wife’s stupid hat
0:30, 2:04 That's Julia Lester as Little Red...
...because red means love!
I need a proshot of this production, and a cast recording, PLEASE
Wish granted on that cast recording. The St James production with Sara, Brian, Patina, Phillipa, Gavin, and Joshua has been recorded.
@@1rockcrawford AAAAH where can I find it pretty pls?
@@marlahectic9299 it comes out on september 30th
I ADORE Patina Miller and Phillipa Soo, don't get me wrong, but I wish Heather Headley and Denée Benton stayed for the Broadway transfer.
JULIA LESTER !!!!!!
wish they'd included a bit of David Patrick Kelly.
need a slime tutorial for this cast
I would give my best friend the cow for a pro shot recording!
Wait what happens to Denee and Neil? Why is it Brian and Philippa now? Not complaining just curious!
Petition for Denee Benton as a Disney princess, anyone?
Is this the actual show? Somehow the stage feels bare and not as though the characters are inhabiting a magical world
It was only 11 days it seems. Sets are expensive.
i will not shut up about julia lester !!
Cast album or broadway revival 🤞
There’s a broadway revival!! it just opened yesterday!!
I called it!!
Safe at home with our neautiful prize
did anyone else hear sara barielles mess up the words lol
PLEASE TRANSFER THIS PRODUCTION TO BROADWAY!!!
IT'S HAPPENING!
But why is Jack 35...
The actors are great, but I feel like they’ve all been cast in the wrong roles 😬
Certainly swap Neil and Sara with Gavin and Heather.
Nope, they were perfect.
2:50 can we take time to appreciate denee's last "I WISH"
pippa can do better.
Saw this a few days ago. I have to say most of the performances were good but they REALLY dropped the ball on set and cosume design. I mean, Cinderella wearing the same dress for all three days of the festival? It was not even a nice dress, and the shoes looked like they were from Goodwill. Also, Rapunzel looked like a hot mess and had absolutely no charisma. Patina Miller honestly saved the show because of how incredible she was. I just wish they put more effort into the visual aspects.
This production was always, at it's core, bare bones. What's on Broadway was a transfer of this concert. Where emphasis was put on the storytelling/score. And even then I liked this revival's costumes more than the original. They say fairytale without being garish. Beyond that, Into the Woods is such a masterpiece making it a spectacle would be distracting
Roooough. I know this is only a concert and they had very little rehearsal, but there is a dropped lyric and so many wrong notes and bad timing... Hopefully the next few performances get better. Denee was perfection. Everyone around her seemed like an amateur, and I know they aren't.
Okay! Thank GOD I’ve found the one comment with some actual sense. All I see in this comments section is everyone praising this and Im sitting here like, “Are we all listening to the same clip?” Even in this teaser, so many of the notes are wrong and out of tune. I understand that it’s a concert and they had very little rehearsals, however, you can’t halfass Sondheim.
Somebody told me this revival was "fully staged." Fully staged?!?! Not from what I see in these clips.
