Thanks. I just don't think it's a coincidence that Sondheim's most popular show happens to be the one with characters including Little Red Riding Hood, the Wolf, Rapunzel, Jack (in the Beanstalk), et al. I think COMPANY, FOLLIES, A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, and SWEENEY TODD are all better shows than INTO THE WOODS, even though not as popular. It does seem to me, however, that SWEENEY has grown greatly in popularity over the years.

Of course, even though the popularity of INTO THE WOODS can be and has been measured objectively, I too can only go on subjective intuition as to WHY this is true.
