I'm concerned about this also--it's such a wonderful play, so magical, and I'm afraid the magic will be lost on screen. You know, the scene transformations and all. I'm not sure if I'll see it or not. Then again, I went into the musical "Beauty and the Beast" thinking it was a children's story, and I'm now its biggest fan, so we'll just have to see!
P.S. The Wall Street Journal had a brief blurb about it a couple weeks ago, and they were "iffy" on it.
