I would watch an entire production of Into the Woods starring Titus as the Witch. In fact... I NEED an entire production of Into the Woods starring Titus as the Witch.

He did something here that I can’t put my finger on. He brought the sheer multi-layered terror of seeing the one thing you love in the world turn their back on you. I don’t see that in all productions of ITW.
It amazes me when people compare a movie version of singing where it’s recorded AND edited in a studio to live singing. Educate yourself. This is phenomenal.
It's not a case of comparing a 'movie version' with a stage or concert version. The notes and the lyrics of this piece are largely identical for both genres. My beef with it is that Tituss has decided to write his own version. And the melody he has decided to sing is being beaten to death with a stick in order for him to appear 'original'. Sondheim wrote an original piece. That should be enough. Don't try and fix it if it aint broke. Do you know what's out there in the woods? Singers who decide their version is so good. People should listen.
Tituss is an amazing talent. I'm happy he is getting more recognition on Kimmy Schmidt. I hope he gets more Broadway roles, I feel that his heart is on the Great White Way. He was great in the LIttle Mermaid and I just missed seeing him in Guys and Dolls.
The accompanist and arrangement in this number are absolutely incredible, what a perfect match with this performer and song choice. BRAVO and thank you.
I felt every word of this on so many levels. I'm so scared of this cruel world my children have to grow up in. I know one day I won't be around to protect them but it's part of life
I remember when I watched his live performance of Into the Woods. It was the first musical I ever saw live and honestly I hadn't learned of Tituss yet. But I absolutely LOVED his performance as The Witch! My family and I still talk about how amazing (and sassy!) he was! I really wish we could see it again!
This makes me wonder if in the Miami production, Tituss' Witch is really beyond the concept of gender; she just uses female pronouns because it's easier.
He's a phenomenal talent, but is murdering this. Sondheim chose every note but for some reason Tituss has decided he prefers his own notes. And even then he's strangling them.
Am I the only one who thinks they are really pitchy at parts?? It's a hard song, no judgement, just not sure if I could say that I would like to sound like them😬

There was. It was in Miami a couple of years ago.
+JohnMichaelBradshaw DE-WHAT?!
+Samarastube Yep_ I heard it is getting off Broadway treatment with him

So amazing ! But on broadway 😍can u imagine
This was not a miscast. The end.
Agreed.
Amanda Burgess you are correct
I love how everyone was laughing at first and then it just got so real.

Casually makes some parts of the song even higher... my god
That eerie note at 2:09 though!!!
+camrnjurena That gave me my life.
Omg and the close of it at 2:16!! GOOSEBUMPS
stevonnie
Tituss should sing Last Midnight :)
Wilson Tan OMG YES

I'm actually teary-eyed. Please let him play this role one day!!
funny that he performed this at miscast when he WAS CAST IN THIS ROLE BEFORE 😹
Wait! He was! WHEN! I need to see!
WHEN
Tituss Burgess is my everything
Why? These tears?
Patti LuPone would not have any objections with Titus' performance, as he is NOT dead behind the eyes. He's acting while he's singing this song.
He is such a beautiful example of transforming his personal pain and humanity into art and victory.
What a talented man... he felt every syllable.. extraordinary
Lady Murasaki sure has a great voice!
I want to hear him sing "Last Midnight" now!!
His smile afterwards! "Yeah, I did that." YES YOU DID
What a heart breaking rendition of this beautiful song. You can see the desperation and terror.
The accompanist and arrangement in this number are absolutely incredible, what a perfect match with this performer and song choice. BRAVO and thank you.
I can't believe someone disliked this video
+JC Barry It was Corialanus Burt
+Talar Demirdjian DEAD
+Talar Demirdjian I MEAN RUDE!
It was Rapunzel
Got to see him play the role in Miami a few years ago and there has never been and will never be a better Witch in my eyes. He was spectacular
I'm not crying. You're crying.
I'm not crying, I'm crafting!
+Trey Atkins Phandom, no.
***** yes. Although I like to think of it more like a Dandom because dan is better.
+Trey Atkins But like, why here though?
I'm a fan of the Dan and the Phil, but sometimes I just.. I just.. .-.
I felt every word of this on so many levels. I'm so scared of this cruel world my children have to grow up in. I know one day I won't be around to protect them but it's part of life
Quick, hand me my Pinot Noir.
more like peeno noir.
+Trey Atkins this is no time for black penis
Sarah Wright but it's tituss. ;-;
Somebody give me a pair of boobs from California
@@trickytreyperfected1482 Anna I oop...
The way Tituss sang “…you don’t understand” I AM CRYING RN
“You don’t UNDERSTAND” my eyes are misty already

But I absolutely LOVED his performance as The Witch! My family and I still talk about how amazing (and sassy!) he was! I really wish we could see it again!
Bernadette Peters would be proud.
I don't why this song makes me cry so much but GOD......THIS SONG.
Oh my god he KILLED IT!!!
I could watch this 55 times in a row and not be tired of it. Simply magical.
I love him! He is so talented
someone needs to create a show around him worthy of his talent
Goosebumps all over.
One of my favorite musicals...and Tituss never fails to amaze me. I think I secretly love Tituss...sshh...
I have chills all over my body and tears in my eyes... incredible.
i love actors that sing. you are fabulous, sweetie!
This was freaking awesome!!!!!
1:25 in and im already upset..... I love him
Whoa... he's crazy talented.
when it changes i got serious chills holy mother
I fell in love with him on Kimmy Schmidt, having forgotten I'd fallen in love with him in Mermaid. But omg he slays in this song.
This is everything!
i cry everytime.... everytime
Bernadette Peters to Tituss Burgess.
This is everything.
Meryl Streeps lookin different...
Amando cada vez mas a tituss andromedon
AMAZING!!!!!!
Titus is my spirit animal
I love him

Tears from me in the library while studying for finals.
Omfg the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Chills!! 😻
He was born this way, praise Jesus! Amazing talent.
Wonderful Voice..
unbelievable talent...
I've made you a shirt from my tears
This man is a god or at least an angel of music!!!!!!
I LOVE HIM!;)
yes
What even I'd Burgess.
You know, besides talent
crying
Didn't he actually play this role?
Damn, i did not expect that.
Loved him in The Little Mermaid!
I'm dead. 😵😍😵
This is not miscast! Can I sign a petition for Tituss Burgess to play a part of the Witch in the future production of Into the Woods?
He played it! With DreamCatcher Theatre Company. They had a sold out run in Miami a year and a half ago. It was awesome.
His talent reminds me of Barbara Streisand!
I’m sure the people who disliked this video probably were holding their phones upside down and thought it was the like button...
😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️
genius
fun fact: for the 2002 revival of into the woods, they almost casted billy porter as the witch!!
As they should’ve
oh my goodness....
His expression "You don't understand"....
Crying intensifies
I love him but am I the only one who sees he’s a little pitchy I still love his acting and gorgeous vibrato tho
amazing
👏👏👏😄😄
I C R I E D
How did I get here? Oh yeah, Hamilton.
Goldievoi let me tell YOU the story of tonight
Into the woods 🤣, i imagined him dress as the witch
He’s a male Bernadette Peters!
🥹phenomenal
I still prefer pinoit noir tbh
pinot noir
more like peeno noir. Am I right, or am I right?
I don't care how passionate he is, every performance he does, he sounds like he's constantly falling over.
Not his best work but still beautiful
This makes me wonder if in the Miami production, Tituss' Witch is really beyond the concept of gender; she just uses female pronouns because it's easier.
*bernadette peters has left the chat*
There is no musical performer id rather meet.
He's a phenomenal talent, but is murdering this. Sondheim chose every note but for some reason Tituss has decided he prefers his own notes. And even then he's strangling them.
Am I the only one who thinks they are really pitchy at parts?? It's a hard song, no judgement, just not sure if I could say that I would like to sound like them😬
i love titus in kimmy schmidt and im sorry but compared to meryl this is terrible
ga y
He needs more vocal training. He’s not bad, but definitely pitchy dawg
