Sunday in the Park has a great audio commentary by Sondheim, Lapine, Patinkin, and Bernadette.

Bernadette actually says very little during the commentary. Sondheim tries to draw her into the conversation several times,but Mandy Patinkin monopolizes the conversation.
I haven't really checked out the special features for the Hey,Mr. Producer! DVD,but they didn't look like much.
The Into the Woods DVD does not have any special features of which I am aware.

On the Bernadette concert there isn't any commentary, but there's a "chapter" on her which includes her bio, career credits, and my fave'--a photo album of pictures of her.

Well, it wouldn't really make sense to have a commentary for a concert DVD. Movies are one thing, and even Broadway Shows, but concerts...she basically says during her breaks between songs what she would probably say on a commentary. An interview would have been nice though.

Mandy monopolizes the conversation??? I'm totally shocked!!! How unlike him. :-) ha, ha lol
What's happened to him? I recently bought his Sondheim CD and it was pretty bad. I mean, I love his voice and all but does he lovelingly have to savour every note of every song??? I've always enjoyed his over-the-top style but this was ridiculous.

I just watched him in that new Showtime series "Dead Like Me." He looks so different in it. And oddly enough, he's not in it that much (yet)! Very un-Mandy like (not being a scene monopolizer). lol

I saw his concert (well, one of them) in Washington last summer-I think this CD is based on that concert. It (the concert) was quite amazing-he sang for maybe 90 minutes with no intermission, with total emotion and focus, and without once acknowledging the audience in any way (I was in the first row, center). Yes, some of the concert was over the top, but that's what I expect-and want-when I see him. Maybe you had to be there!

I saw one of his concerts a couple of months ago. He is a very impressive performer-so much energy! But in my case, he did acknowlege the audience, talked about "Dead Like Me," made cracks about Showtime, etc.

ok please don't gang up on me but I can't stand listening to his singing voice. I admit that he is a fantastic performer and gives 150% when he is on stage but his voice just voice does not sit well with me.
When he sings I feel like I am listening to a very bad soprano.
Once again please don't yell at me.

Although Mandy monopolizes the conversation on the SITPWG commentary, if you are genuinely interested in Sondheim and/or the show, it's really fascinating and a necessity for a huge fan of the show. If you're just going to obsessively replay every sound bit that Bernadette is in... what's the point?

Anonymous-
Please-no one said that anyone was tuning in just to hear Bernadette. I wasn't expecting her to say much-knowing that Patinkin is a talker,and knowing that when Sondheim gets going,he can talk at length,I was expecting her to be the quietest one. Yes,Mandy provides great insight and information,but it's quite distracting when part of that is spent answering other questions directed at others and arguing with Sondheim over which songs were included at the workshop,among other things. However,it's difficult to know which one to believe,since Sondheim has the same problem with Hal Prince's stories.

I also wished that Bernadette had said more during the commentary. I don't think that I would obsessively replay her comments...but it would have been nice to hear a little more of her perspective on things. I haven't listened to it in a while, but I do remember Mandy becoming very emotional towards the end. I think he is a pretty emotional kind of guy! The commentary feature is still very interesting even though Bernadette doesn't do a great deal of talking.
