“[Director] Rob Marshall… hits a sweet spot between cinematic and theatrical with his captivating film adaptation of Into the Woods… Screenwriter James Lapine, adapting his own book for the show, has retained the balance of dark and light, shaping a cohesive story of resilience and maturation out of multiple strands without leaning too hard on the sentiment. What was played for gallows humor onstage is often treated more earnestly here, and the violence and tragedy are suggested more than shown. But theres enough Brothers Grimm in the tone to offset charges of Disney-fication.” So this is where Ill be one week from today because all I want for Christmas is Sondheim.
