Well this is an interesting story.
I was the witch for one scene and the voice of the giant's wife in my university production.
My sister was actually cast in the role of the witch, I never went for that role but the directors could not figure out a way for her to do the quick change from ugly witch to beautiful witch.As my sister and I looked very similar, the directors thought I could dress up as my sister for the scene where they feed the magic ingredients to the cow and then I stumble off stage when choking on the milk and then my sister appears 2 secs later mid stage in all her glory. No one could guess how it was done as I was mouthing her lines but she was offstage still mic'd up saying the lines,so it worked a treat as all people could see was what they thought was her and heard her voice. I did however on the final show come onstage dressed as the witch so that people could finally see how it was done.
