"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. One would think the world was made up of only two kinds of people - "average joes" and "Sondheim fanatics" - and no one else. I would wager that most "average Joes" have absolutely no clue about most musicals, Sondheim or not, and that the idea of movies based on musicals is something not generally on their radar, period. Your comments on the Jersey Boys film bear that out. WE as people interested in theatre may view that show as "beloved," but I'm sure there are plenty of so-called "average Joes" out there WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT, and who had no reference point to the film. I think there is a middle ground of people who have enough interest in the arts to appreciate musicals and musical films, but who may not identify as diehard Sondheim fans. And I would think that many of them would be interested in the film.
