Loved this movie. Haven't had a chance to see the live performance, but after seeing the original with Bernadette Peters, I knew I had to see this version. Amazing cast with excellent voices, a Sondheim classic score and excellent theatricality. Even my 7 year old enjoyed it after she said she didn't want to see it. Meryl Streep plays an excellent Witch and the rest of the cast is very entertaining. Lilla Crawford is stunning as Little Red Riding Hood - this kid will have a long future in Broadway. Anna Kendrick is perfect as Cinderella and Chris Pine plays a fabulously devious Prince - 'I said I'd be charming, not faithful' (paraphrase).
