Did anyone see Into the Woods yet? No spoilers

[Jalapeñomel]

How was it??

[DaisyCakes]

We saw it last night. It was really really good. I wasn't disappointed.

[Deleted]

I haven't yet, but my biggest musical theatre geek friends did and loved it. They had all the same concerns we discussed here previously too.

[pinkeggs]

I'm going tomorrow and can't wait!

It's a musical- I didn't know that (I didn't really know anything about it).

I liked it - the 12 year old boy with us did not.

LOL

It was about 40 minutes longer than I thought it should have been. Our party consisted of 8- all but the 11 YO hated it.

[bronxgirl]

I can't wait to see it, although I don't know when that will be. I know DH doesn't want to see it so I guess Ill be going alone.

[lolobeth802]

It was quite long and I started to get annoyed with the length of it and began thinking, please, please don't start singing again! We did enjoy it though (even our 14 year old son). Beautiful message for a Christmas day story.

I'm taking ds this weekend sometime.

Can't wait!

[thumper55]

Saw it with H and 2 kids. We all thought it was too long. The kids hated it and were fidgeting.  Some of the underlying dialogue was too adult for the kids.

[gault]

Question - did those of you who thought it was too long or thought there was too much singing know it is based on a very adult musical?

It isn't a kids story.

I read reviews that is was akin to malificent?? No?

[Deleted]

Isn't is pg?

Maybe I need to look into it more.

Also - seeing people say it was too long has me not wanting to take him anyway. Lol

We are going tomorrow!

I don't think it's scary, but it's a more adult story line and there's LOTS of singing. I think a kid would be bored.

Looks like baking will be rescheduled till Saturday because I really want to go see it.

[dancingnancy]

So DH brought DD who recently turned 6 to see Malifacent when it came out and she loved it...is this one too much (too long! Over her head? Not comparable?)?

[bronxgirl]

Sondheim doesn't exactly write kids' shows.

[nancybotwin]

It was good.
Acting was great.
I was annoyed that things got cut from the musical. Do it right.

I was comparing them too but apparently they are not!

Good to know - I was totally going to take my ds.

[BaliHai]

We're going to see it on NYE, I'm pretty excited!

[jlt19]

The previews are ALL over the Disney Channel and it drives me nuts. Thankfully DD said the witch was scary so she isn't going.

However, I've loved the musical since I was 8ish, so who knows.

I'm back this week, if you can wait, I'd go too!

[Jalapeñomel]

Just curious, those who think it was too long, did you see the musical or know anything about it?


The musical is almost three hours long.

[Bad Dingo]

I have seen it twice now (a free preview last week and then again yesterday). I loved it.

I was a bit disappointed in the two cut songs that I noticed but I guess they had to cut some things to make it shorter.

DD 7 loved it, but she's also a nut like me and has seen it many times live and the Broadway version on Netflix.

I'm hoping that the movie will lead to another Broadway revival.

[CurlyQ284]

I didn't know it was a musical until yesterday. SDs wanted to see it so I went. I've never liked musicals on film, love going to see them live though so I was kind of dreading it.

We just got home. Loved it. I thought it was fabulous. SDs didn't like it as much and complained about thr length. They are 12 and 13.
