Disney is no stranger to Broadway adaptation, although typically its one of their classics being adapted for the stage. So INTO THE WOODS, a Sondheim musical that puts a dark spin on classic fairy tales, is a bit of an outlier. On paper it seems like a natural pairing, but in practice it seems like something may have gotten a little lost in translation - and not just nine songs and forty minutes of run time. Join Vicky, Nolan and Jill as they try to articulate just how this movie falls short, breathe a sigh of relief as they learn Mary Poppins-to-be Emily Blunt has some singing chops, and try to suss out just what is a James Corden.
