Into the Woods Review

I have never seen the play so I can't judge how good an adaptation it is. My niece has done the play at her high school and said there were a couple of songs they skipped. I LOVE musicals, so I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought the singing was good, but the acting especially Chris Pine as Prince Charming and Meryl Streep of course was exceptional. Johnny Depp's role as the wolf (not the cartoon style Zoot suit!) was not much more than a cameo. It's the kind of musical that really lends itself to film, as they could use special effects for the magic, the bean stalk and so on. Worth seeing on the big screen.
