I know, its supposed to show the whole Broadway experience, but, really?
shareI saw this at the movie theatre and I was so appreciative of the filmed intermission. I never thought I'd have the chance to use the restroom.
It's less effective on the DVD, because you can always just pause it.

Haha, you just didn't get it. It was just their way to say "forget you, we're going to do whatever we what contrary to what society expects!" Listen to "La Vie Boheme" again. ;)

I've just ordered the DVD and I'm not really bothered if the intermission is kept in, or not but I was just wondering what you actually see during the intermission? Is it literally just the camera pointing at the stage?
Sometimes I don't read the ends of posts because I assume they're signatures.
It was streamed into movie theatres...and to create the sense and feel of a live performance, they left in a truncated intermission (though I agree they could have cut it from the dvd release).
The camera is only pointed at the stage, nothing, other than a stagehand sweeping up debris from Act 1, is visible.
Into the Woods only has an intermission pause, to indicate the transistion between acts. It barely lasts a minute. I actually appreciate the videos that indicate the breaks between acts, because it gives you a sense of the shows as they were presented. Cats and Jesus Christ Superstar don't...they were recorded as "one acts". Although, with Cats, it's pretty easy to see where the intermission was.
