It's somewhat of a hush-hush yet, but apparently there is an upcoming Rob Marshall-directed Disney film of Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods, with Meryl Streep (Witch) and Johnny Depp (Wolf).
On the other hand, all is known of the Ray of Light Theatre's May 31-June 29 production at the Eureka Theatre.
Not quite with Disney's resources, small, spirited Ray of Light has had great success with Sondheim's Sweeney Todd and Assassins, besides a slew of demanding musicals, such as Jerry Springer The Opera and Tommy.
Into the Woods features great musical selections on order of "Hello Little Girl," "I Know Things Now," "Giants in the Sky," "Agony," "It Takes Two," "No One Is Alone," "Children Will Listen," and others.
Stage direction for the production is by Eliza Leoni and musical direction is by David Möschler.
In the cast: Nikki Arias (Stepmother), Marisa Cozart (Baker’s Wife), Danielle DiPaola (Florinda/Sleeping Beauty), Austin Ferris (Baker), John Flaw (Wolf), Angela Jarosz (Cinderella’s Mother/Granny), David Naughton (Cinderella’s Prince), and Ted Zoldan (Rapunzel’s Prince).
Also Caitlin O’Leary (Lucinda/Snow White), Nancy Sale (Jack’s Mother), and Bill Tankovich (Cinderella’s Father), among others.
