"I like that second IMDb review written by "a huge fan of musical theater" who had no idea what INTO THE WOODS is about."
Hahaha. Honestly, I'm a huge musical theatre fan and I don't know anything about Into the Woods. I just saw the recording of it a few months back for the first time once. I purposely haven't rewatched it or listened to the cast recording because I want to see the film unbiased.

I would say that it was probably a pretty big Broadway audience. The screening was at the AMC on 2nd Ave. Most of the people I overheard talking seemed familiar with the show.
One funny piece - they took our cell phones before the movie so no one could bootleg anything (Disney is funny that way). When we sat down, they had a screen up saying "Tweet about getting to see the movie early" with a hashtag and everything. Literally EVERY single person who came in made a comment about how we would be glad to -- if only we had our phones!

How does the collection and return of cell phones work??

Jason, prohibiting cellphones at screenings, is not just a Disney thing. The bigger the movie, the probability that you won't be allowed to bring it into the theatre. I see a minimum, of two screenings a month, and almost always are not allowed to bring them in. I just scored a ticket for a screening of Into The Woods, on Monday, and I'm so glad they are enforcing the no cellphone policy.

How do they collect and label the phones? Need to know because I'll be at a screening on Thursday..

Ah - I didn't know that - this was the first screening I've been to. They just stand outside the theater and collect our phones in bags with a ticket - like a coat check. Not a big deal really, we just weren't expecting it.

I saw a screening this morning. I just loved it! Streep is amazing and vocally, she's got the chops. I really enjoyed everyone and I think my biggest surprise was Chris Pine; stole every scene he was in...in a good way.
I don't want to give too much away, but there is a song missing towards the end of the film...though it underscores the scene, just no vocals. Once you've seen the film, I think you'll agree with me that if the character sang that song at that moment, they'd have to squeegee the tears from the floor of the theater. While I love the song, I think it would've been just *too* much...

Social security number, DNA sample and they'll need to... see your nectarines.

Just got back from the WGA screening -- really well done. Probably one of the better movie versions of a Broadway musical. The Princes song Agony was really funny. Not a weak spot in the casting (so no obvious Russell Crowe). Loved the giants.

God, that Blunt/Kendrick "more than anything" from the first part of the prologue bugs. Don't know if it's the way their voices blend, the engineering of the recording or something else, but it sounds so odd, so harsh. Surprised that wasn't fixed during mastering.

How does Streep's full Last Midnight sound? (I don't want to listen yet)

Showface - regarding Streep's Last Midnight, if I remember correctly, it sounds quite nice. It's not horrible and she is sort of say-singing it. Sort of like Stay With Me but more expressed and a lot of emotion.
Horse Tears - regarding their voices together, I agree, very tense and harsh together, ah well, the orchestra makes up for it.
ljay889 - Maybe you should just leave your phone at home if you're so concerned they're going to lose/misplace your iPhone. I'm sure other people who have attended screenings have had iPhones, and nothing has been reported as missing or anything.

EVERYONE had an iphone at my screening. I wouldn't worry about it.
I thought Last Midnight was very well acted. There's a clever little twist with her delivery of it that I thought was brilliant.
They also did a really nice job with Children Will Listen at the end, given that the witch and Baker's Wife are gone...

Meryl was very breathy at first, but I think it really works, and it probably will be really dramatic onscreen.
Also, I did the big ugly no-no and listened to the full prologue (I HAVE NO SELF-CONTROL, I'M SORRY). Meryl rocked the Witch's Rap. My previous comment about the changes to that scene are now outdated, as this sounded like it worked.
I didn't, however, care for the big pauses they gave the characters between lines near the end. ("Into the woods to sell the cow!" (dun dun duh-NA na-NA) "To get the money!" (dun dun duh-NA na-NA) "To go to the festival!") But maybe it will work better on screen. Also, there was an absolutely random chorus that joined in on the last "Into the Woods!" refrain, which was odd.
But I've been reduced to NITPICKS, so that's gotta say something.

I just wish the Disney Store made merchandise for this movie. I'd kill for my very own Baker's Wife or Witch doll.

Did that new TV spot reveal more of the transformation? Well that's not a secret to Disney apparently.
13 days left... It's been some ride hasn't it? From the 2012 announcement, to Rob Marshall being hired, to the dreaded casting of Sophia Grace that thankfully never happened, to filming, to speculation, and now the early reviews and marketing are coming full swing. Can't wait to be in theaters opening day.

Interestingly, Vanessa Williams would have liked to the play the witch on film. I suppose this is obvious (I'm sure Bernadette would have said yes if she was offered the role, haha), but it's still interesting to hear it out loud.

I'll say this about Johnny Depp (who is good enough) at the end of the "Hello Little Girl" track... His howl makes the previous wolves look like high school students in comparison.
