Further Into the Woods

Guilty - total musical theater queen here. Maybe not in the "traditional" sense, but I do own more than my fair share of cast albums and have certainly appeared in major hitters by the A-list of showtunes composers. There is something about breaking into a great song to tell your story. Which is why the cabaret genre is turning out to be such a great fit for me.

Every few years we are given a teaser of another great big screen adaptation. Some fail like the recent Les Miz, others ramble but are entertaining like Rock of Ages or Nine. But I still believe we are capable of new masterpieces like Moulin Rouge, Dreamgirls and Chicago. With much anticipation we now wait 12 mos for the upcoming Into the Woods.

I have been on top of every new cast addition and eagerly await to see how it transfers to the big screen. I am disappointed that we won't get to see Jake Gylenhaal in tights, but have full confidence in Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp to pick up the slack. Curiosities like Emily Blunt and Chris Pine - can they sing or not? I love it when I am surprised. Here are the first round of photos circulating coming out of England where it is in production. What do you think?
