Talk:Stephen Sondheim

Look, I Made a Hat
In Sondheim's new book, he seems to be under the impression that he was going to be working with Jim Henson himself on the aborted "Into the Woods" film. He writes: "In 1995 Columbia Pictures and Jim Henson approached James and me with a plan to make a movie of the show, using Henson creatures as the animals." He concludes this section with a list of the actors who participated in the second "star-studded" reading, adding wistfully at the end "All that and Jim Henson, too."

It makes me wonder if Jim did indeed approach Sondheim about it in the late 80s, even if things didn't really get rolling on it until after Jim's death. Sondheim is 81 but seems generally quite good with the details, and it seems unlikely he would misremember talking with Henson himself about the project, even though his book is clearly muddled on the topic.
