I purchased this CD set based on another review of it, raving that it was a "complete" karaoke version of the show. It's not! It is missing parts of the opening, Cinderella at the Grave, First Midnight, both He's A Very Nice Prince encounters, the Opening of Act II, Agony part 2 and most of the Finale. It's also missing smaller bits and pieces. It is a place to start, if that's what you're looking for. If you are doing the show, prepare to do searches online to find anything I mentioned previously. I don't want the same thing to happen to someone else if I can prevent it.

The Stage Stars Sweeney Todd and Into the Woods accompaniment CDs are my two favorite CDs currently. I love rehearsing these songs at home. Both follow the score instead of the vocal selections, which means you have the song intros available.

Just what we needed to rehearse for our youth theatre show. It made all the difference.
Having the singing on the other disk was great also.

I was hoping that the accompaniment CD would allow me to use the music published in the Into the Woods: Vocal Selections so I wouldn't have to hire a pianist to accompany me. I bought the two at the same time off Amazon, so I couldn't compare. However, the CD is the accompaniment for singing the version directly out of the musical itself, and does not match up with what is in the book. It does a beautiful job if that is what you are looking for, and the vocal CD is very helpful for learning your part before trying to perform with the accompaniment-only CD.
