I'm fairly certain this is a scaled-down selection done for the Wogan Show on BBC 1 to promote the London opening. The look of the show in the theatre was vastly different - rather like a creepy Victorian nursery with peeling wallpaper and creaking doors as entrances into and out of the Woods. Designed by the brilliant Richard Jones. I actually prefer it to the Broadway incarnation. This footage is great to see, but it's not a fair basis on which to judge the production.

I saw the Broadway production in NY, and the Sydney Theatre Company version, and I preferred that one too ... a brilliant set with multiple revolves that gave the show great momentum, and better, more colourful costumes that banished the rather dreary look and atmosphere of the Broadway show. I was not a fan of the famed Broadway Sound either ... it seemed blaring and constantly played at full volume ... the reduced orchestra in the more intimate venue suited the show much better ... and I think the cast, with Judi Connelly, Geraldine Turner and Philip Quast was superior too.

Just to let those of you who are interested know, this isn't the actual set at all - this is just a studio throw-together to have something in the background for Wogan's tv show. In the original London production (I was there on opening night!), the actual set was done in sepia tones and looked very much like a German woodcut. It was quite beautiful - it wasn't as funny as the Broadway cast, but it was much darker.

This production was sensational. The clip here is an excerpt which was done in a film studio for the Southbank show presented by Melvin Bragg for the Christmas lineup of the best productions Of that particular year . So it really wasn’t on the set. It was based on European nursery rhymes and Bettelheim designs. The designs by Richard Hudson they were brilliant, the sensational Richard Jones was the director and the wonderful Sue Blaine, who designed the costumes for the Rocky horror picture show designed fantastic costumes for this production. You really had to be there. Jackie Dankworth was by far the best Cinderella. Tessa Burbridge played little red Riding Hood. She was brilliant. And honestly, nothing like Harry Potter! Still it’s a subjective thing isn’t it?

As comvic20 says, it was intended to have a darker more twisted style of production. Very English! It was great fun to work on, especially as this particular scene was adapted for the TV studio.

The divine Miss Staunton, who also hit a home run on London stage with Gypsy and Sweeny Todd , is clearly Sondheim's British muse. Miss Staunton said the fact that she and Daniel Radcliffe had worked on this production together was very useful when it came time for the two in HP and the Order of the Phoenix. She and Daniel trusted each other, and it helped them with the very difficult scene where Umbridge forces Harry to carve into his own hand.

True, but I think that they really lost sight of the fairytale feel. It plays more like a dark, Hans Christian Andersen style folktale; Jack's costume seems straight out of "Hansel and Gretel." The colors have been bleached from the set and costumes, just as emotion and magic seem to have been bleached from the production itself. And one more question-where in God's name did the witch go?

The Design for the London show is a mixture of early 20c fairy tale illustrations and earlier European influences, This in my mind was the greatest strength of this production and The set was a large curved engraving of trees not the feeble attempt shown in the video above which is someone at the BBC light entertainment trying to be stylish!!, the whole thing was much darker and less saccharine than the US version, a lot less Disney!

How sad that some people can't appreciate a different production. ITW is based on Grimm fairy tales which were originally dark and cautionary tales not bright and happily-ever-after fairy tales. This clip is obviously filmed in a studio and not the London stage production. As for the costume design it is a brilliant twist on English pantomime and commedia dell'arte. Okay I confess this was the first production of ITW I saw in 1991 so am quite partial to it.
