INTO THE WOODS: A Musical That Can’t See The Wood For The Trees

Into The Woods is a big screen adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim musical of the same name, adapted by the writer of the original musical book, James Lapine, and directed by Rob Marshall (of Chicago fame). The film boasts a number of successful actors in musical roles. When I first heard of the film, this was enough to pique my curiosity, but as the release date approached my enthusiasm for it lessened.

Coming to theaters is Into the Woods directed by Rob Marshall. It’s a musical fantasy film starring Meryl Streep, Anna Kendrick, and Johnny Depp. Before your brain jumps to conclusions, Tim Burton has nothing to do with this film.
