Disney will release 2-disc deluxe INTO THE WOODS soundtrack — Page 2

I, too, was under the impression that "The Ballad..." was cut for strictly artistic/cinematic reasons (4th wall breaking narrative not traditionally well served by film technique, etc.) I've heard many mentions, including Sondheim's.

Yes, but all of them after the fact, in promotion for the film.

If anyone has definitive footage that explains it was budgetary, I'd like to hear/see it. It seems odd that such a decision would be made based on an actor's emergency. I am ready to be convinced, I'd like to know the facts.

Really? Burton and Depp are so far up each other's asses they probably haven't smelled fresh air in a decade, and you're shocked Tim would cut a whole arc because his pal's kid was sick?

But if they were cut prior to shooting, there still would've been orchestra and vocal tracks recorded.

---

But wouldn't the fact that the tracks have never been released in any way also indicate that they possibly never were made? We've never seen any evidence of that recording session.

And why would Lee be nervous about the ballads? He wouldn't have been singing them live on set.

The recording of the Ballads may have been demoed but did not make it to the final recording sessions. There are probably scratch tracks but not final recordings.

Weird that they only name 1 person from each song. I was worried only the Wolf would sing HLG until I saw "It Takes Two"

I'm glad to see that "Ever After" is still there as an instrumental over the scene it's supposed to be in. It probably wouldn't have worked with the lyric but I can see it being perfect as just the background music for that scene.

Also it's now being released on the 15th.

For me, No More IS the climax of the show.

Maybe we'll get a bit of it during

"6) The Cow as White as Milk - James Corden"

did you know you can now preview the songs on iTunes? *.*

^The song "No More" will not be in the film but from what I heard from the samples, Sondheim's beautiful music remains in the final film exactly where the song originally was.

PJ - that's a lovely story. When I was a kid I skipped over "No More" - I was a dolt.

It was hard to resist listening to each of those 90 sec iTunes samples. I did listen to the Prologue, Stay With Me, Hello Little Girl, Last Midnight, and No One Is Alone. So, you know, just a few. I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised at how good everything sounds. I got the false impression they were going to drown everything in bombast with a 100+ orchestra. While the film orchestra obviously dwarfs the Broadway one, I'm quite pleased at how subtle and tasteful everything remains. For the most part, the actors sound great, even Depp. Something about 'Last Midnight' seems a tad off - it feels almost too lilting, but that's the arrangement, not Meryl who sounds very good.
