Into the Woods (2022 Broadway Cast Recording)

The Into the Woods (2022 Broadway Cast Recording) is an album documenting the performances of the 2022 Broadway revival of the Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine musical, Into the Woods. This specific recording features the principal cast and ensemble of the production that played at the St. James Theatre, a limited engagement originally scheduled for eight weeks but extended due to popular demand. The recording typically includes all of the musical numbers from the original stage production, though some adjustments might be made for pacing or clarity. Cast recordings serve as both a preservation of the theatrical performance and a way for audiences to re-experience the show outside of the live setting. The album often features detailed liner notes, including synopses, lyrics, and potentially background information about the production and the performers. Critical reception of the cast recording is often tied to the reception of the stage production itself, with reviewers considering factors such as vocal performances, orchestral arrangements, and overall fidelity to the source material. The availability of the recording is typically through digital download, streaming services, and physical media such as CDs.
