Stephen Sondheim Goes Into Damage Control Mode Following Tales of Disneyfied Into the Woods

The Mary Sue: Last week musical nerds clutched their hands to their bosoms and wailed unto the sky when word hit the web of Stephen Sondheim saying the movie version of Into the Woods is being hacked and slashed at by Disney until it resembles something appropriate for children. Infidelity subplot: Gone. Character death: Gone. Sexualization of the relationship between Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf: Gone. Only now Sondheim has released a statement saying his original quotes were taken out of context.
