Into the Woods 2002 Broadway Revival, Broadhurst Theatre Drama Desk Award Nomination, Outstanding Featured Actress in a Musical Outer Critics Circle Award Nomination, Outstanding Actress in a Musical "In the central roles of The Baker and his wife, whose efforts to undo the witch's curse on their family tie all the fairy tales loosely together, Stephen DeRosa and Kerry O'Malley perform with an appealingly light touch, etching their roles with bright comic strokes but bringing a fine, simple conviction to them nonetheless." -Charles Isherwood, Variety "As a whole, the big ensemble could scarcely be better...a wonderful comic performance by Kerry O'Malley as The Baker's Wife among several first-rate contributions."  -John Heilpern, The New York Observer "This revival has a winning Baker's Wife in the person of Ms. O'Malley...It is when 'Into the Woods' simply sings--in conflict-laced arrangements by Jonathan Tunick with musical direction by Paul Gemignani--that you float into an enchanted world whose pleasures and fears bear an only mildly exaggerated relationship to those of everyday life.  Listen to...Ms. O'Malley on impossible choices in 'Moments in the Woods'...[I]n such numbers, Mr. Sondheim always manages to express more than one emotion, through disorienting shifts in keys and with dissonance lurking beneath the most straightforward melody lines."  -Ben Brantley, The New York Times "O'Malley and DeRosa sing the score beautifully" and "have found the couple's darker sides."  -Andy Propst, American Theater Web "As the Baker's Wife, Kerry O'Malley is earnest and driven, playing down the character's deadpan wit and emphasizing her desperation."  -Nelson Pressley, The Washington Post "Lapine insinuates farcical touches, well-played by Kerry O'Malley and Stephen DeRosa, as the Wife and the Baker strive to fulfill the demands of the Witch's scavenger hunt...Edelman's cocky prince...winds up, however briefly, entwined with the independent-minded Baker's Wife of the lively O'Malley."  -Malcolm Johnson, The Hartford Courant "[Kerry O'Malley] proves shrewdly commonsensical as his Wife."  -Clive Barnes, NY Post "As the Baker and his Wife, Stephen DeRosa and Kerry O'Malley make a sweetly winning couple...O'Malley is a solid singer, and scores in her solo, 'Moments in the Woods.'"  -Ken Mandelbaum, Broadway.com "Kerry O'Malley is a vibrantly confused Wife with a voice to match her ambitions."  -Linda Winer, Newsday "Stephen DeRosa and Kerry O'Malley are witty and poignant as the noble Baker and his sassy wife."  -Elyse Gardner, USA Today "Stephen DeRosa and Kerry O'Malley as the Baker and his Wife, the two princes (and wolves) Christopher Seiber and Gregg Edelman, and Laura Benanti as Cinderella are all strong."  -Don Shirley, The Los Angeles Times "Benanti's Cinderella and O'Malley's Baker's Wife enjoy some good conspiratorial moments in their scenes together.  Both women have lovely voices."  -Evan Henerson, LA Weekly
