Bingo! You hit the nail right on the head. I've had this argument before - - "Into The Woods" is not beloved by any stretch of the imagination.....except by Sondheim fanatics. Your "average Joe" has absolutely no clue what "Into The Woods" is...no matter how much Sondheim fanatics believe otherwise. Movie musicals are a risky business....why make one of a show that isn't that well known? I saw the original "Nine" on Broadway years ago...never dreamed they'd make a film of it. They did.....it flopped. I saw the original "Into The Woods" on Broadway as well. A movie? Never thought it would happen. Fairy Tales are hot now..."Once Upon A Time" and "Grimm" on television, "Maleficent" and "Frozen" in the movies. That doesn't mean everything is fool-proof. "Jersey Boys" is a beloved show....been running for years and has music familiar to most people by a beloved singing group . Even with all of that history, the film failed. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I think the film will need a lot of luck to succeed. Here's hoping.... (BTW, I like "Into The Woods". It's one of the few Sondheim shows I enjoy).
