re: Why Does The Witch Die In 'Into the Woods'?
It’s like “Live, Laugh, Love” from Follies. The Witch is having a mental breakdown. "Last Midnight" is the result of everything that has happened to the Witch in the show. She becomes numbingly desensitized and explodes into a cloud of smoke from all the pressure. She The song has a lot more emotional depth than most people think.
