If you haven't been in a production of Into the Woods, are you even alive? The Witch is a rich role rift with villainy, yet far from evil. She provides the backbone to the show's central messages on morality and motherhood. "Last Midnight" has the power to make or break the whole damn show.
The Witch's ultimate fate remains shrouded in ambiguity. The freedom for director interpretation has gifted us with such delightful variety. Bernadette Peters descends in a cloud of smoke on the stage elevator, Donna Murphy is dragged into the ground by a tree creature thing, Heather Headley is seized by a giant pair of puppet hands*, Carolee Carmello freefalls backwards still belting her face off. The possibilities are endless and fascinating. The script says "she disappears. Long pause." Discuss what you think happens and you would do in your production down in the notes.
*not Heather Headley in the clipped portion, but same production design.
