Seeing this picture reminds me that the puppeteers existed at all.

DISNEY IS MAKING INTO THE WOODS INTO A MOVIE?!

shanlynch:

How was this announced in January and I didn’t find out until right now?! 

WHAT?! 

Why didn’t someone bang down my frickin’ door the moment this was announced? 

I’m dying. 

And with Rob Marshall set to direct. C’mon!!

IMPORTANT QUESTION:

Has the Baker for the Shakespeare in the Park production of Into the Woods been announced? I can’t seem to track down an answer except that Christopher Fitzgerald was being rumored as a possibility a while back, but that was even before Amy Adams was confirmed as the Baker’s Wife in April as far as I can tell. 

Help?

Why would musical theater be the only culture that resists newness? It doesn’t make sense. Bands become successes on tumblr. Where’s the tumblr of musical theater? [The problem is] older people are willing to pay for it, and they’re the same audience that’s not going to want something new. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. I’d rather go see our future than most musicals. The theater is simply not democratized in any way, and other art forms are.
