By Bob Bloom “Into the Woods” is an anti-fairy tale musical that warns of the consequences of wishes — especially when they come true. The Tony Award-winning musical was directed by “Chicago’s” Rob Marshall and adapted from the Broadway show by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine. Produced by Disney, the studio did tinker with the subversive tone of the play, which — be warned — features a dark second act. (Ironically, a trailer for Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of “Cinderella” precedes the film.)
