1. Not very funny. The source material was a comedy, right?
2. it's busy with a lot going on, but not much lands strongly.
2. Musical numbers all sound very much the same.
3. Waking up Jerry's role loses a lot of the comedy
4. Borle's role is basically a straight (!!!) man with not a lot of comedy built in
5. and Hicks' role is a downer
6. Thanks god for Del Aquila!

All the songs in INTO THE WOODS sound the same. Do we consider that to be a problem with the show?

Borle's role..."Not a lot of comedy build in?"

Did we see the same show? Borle was cracking so many jokes [SPOILER ALERT] like the recurring one about how old he looks. I found him hilarious. I agree about the female lead--I just didn't care about her or her numbers at all, and a more charismatic actor would have really helped there. We had a great time and I thought the act II showstopper was superb--I can't wait to see that again.

Reading the board, I guess he and a partner wrote material for him...or maybe did more than that. So when you're saying "not a lot built in" you're saying not a lot that is intrinsic to the book.
