Imagine a group of older people sitting around, perhaps sipping cocktails and drinking far too much wine, and all talking about the myths from their childhoods, the folk stories that parents used to read to their children before they turned over the reading function first to the TV and more recently to the hand-held electronic device. One person recalls a bit of one story; another person adds a piece from a second story; a third person recalls with glee a favorite moment from yet another story, and so it goes until the subject of fairy tales has everyone laughing and enjoying the nonsense.
As the evening wears on, the wine runs out and the reminiscences begin to falter. Suddenly, someone says, "Wouldn't it be a hoot to take a whole bunch of mishmashes from all these stores and put them together into a movie?"
The one who had consumed the most wine adds, "And make it into a musical!" That comment was followed by loud guffaws from the more sober of the revelers because they knew it wouldn't make good sense, much less a good movie.
Spend your $7.50 for the matinee of Into the Woods and see for yourself. You'll be wanting your own glass of wine just to make it through the opening scenes 'n songs!
