I saw a London production, must have been over 15 years ago, with Sheridan Smith as Red Riding Hood.

Read a few key and interesting moments from the original have been cut to make the movie more "family friendly" (typical Disney) but no one will know.
I've also a funny feeling not many who see this will know it's actually been a musical, which also helps the Disney franchise.
Yay, someone else who is excited. Feel like i am the only one.
.... this is about the dark Freudian aspect of fairy tales. so i hope we get something like Company of Wolves, and not Disney ......
DS is never a good place to come if you want others to share excitement
Into The Woods isn't a musical I've seen through, despite knowing some of the score. Some of Sondheim's stuff- you either 'get' and like it, or you don't. Personally, I love most of his stuff, even if I don't always 'get' it, lol.
My initial revelation is that Blunt and Corden are too young for the Baker and his Wife, but I have no doubt that Meryl will be incredible as the witch, hopefully giving a spin that makes her incomparable to the wonderful Bernadette Peters.
Indeed.
The reason why she is so fantastic and successful because she chooses roles that are suitible and deserving of her talent. She doesn't take on roles purely for the money and the sake of it. She is always consistent. Not like too many actresses of today.
I think she could very easily be joint with Katherine Hepburn and bag a fourth oscar in years to come.
The roles she has lined up for the next few years sound even more promising. She has recently filmed the Suffragette film (playing Emmeline Pankhurst) and is set to be playing Maria Callas in a film for HBO.
