I really loved Ben Wright in the role. I thought his acting and singing was perfect. I didn't see the revival, but when I heard Adam Wylie I was appalled.
They did a three minute capsule version of the story narrated by Tom Aldredge culminating in the Witch's transformation, then Phylicia Rashad led the company in CHILDREN WILL LISTEN and the final INTO THE WOODS reprise.
Was it a good performance? Also-was Kristin Chenoweth's performance at the Tony's good back with YAMCB? I...sadly...have never watched the Tony's before. Theater has just this last year become a huge part of my life...I highly doubt this, but does anyone have the YAMCB performance?

Sorry, I was actually reporting on the original cast at the '88 Tonys, but I think the revival cast did an almost identical segment. As for Charlie Brown, MY NEW PHILOSOPHY was sensational and the lady herself completely justified the inclusion of the new song.
How was the revival version of Last Midnight staged/done? I know the lyrics were different, but what else was re-arranged? Like the Witch disappearing and everything.
I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

Hmm, yeah. That explains the picture I've seen of 'Nessa holding the baby. How did they stage the Witch disappearing?

I think each had their highlights , I mean, Bernadette is a sheer comic brilliance but Vanessa all did her work to keep her witch away from Bernadette's which i totally commended her for. They both have ups and downs......
