I watched this play on Netflix the other night, having never seen or heard it before. I was stunned.
Sondheim's INTO THE WOODS is a piece of musical theatre that the world needed. It's a fun, kid-friendly (for the most part), musically rich fairy tale. Bernadette Peters absolutely shines as the Witch, and Chip Zien is perfect for the Baker. The music is the star of the show, though. The music by Sondheim is genius (as is the Sondheim norm).
I highly recommend this movie. It's a fun, flighty musical the whold family can enjoy. Only some slight sexual elements mar this otherwise- friendly film.
