I loved this so much when I saw it - there was such a beautiful nuance in the way she left, the choice to have her magic return a bit to show she's changing back, but having her just simply leave rather than disappear. With the way she interpreted the character - as well as the way she was directed, leaving made her character feel so real and whole. There was this moment on the stairs not shown in the video where she turned around, looked at everyone, and then kept going. You could see all the grief in her that she didn't let slip once the rest of the show prior. One of the best reads on the witch I have ever seen, even if it was a bit unconventional.
Trash Prince I completely agree! She’s by far one of my favorite versions of the witch. It was such a different choice but, I really appreciated her interpretation of it! She just had this sense of grief that was realistic and just being completely done and giving up.
@@Miguel-dq6fs they could have played with lights; shout them to let her go backstage and turn them back on,the way it's been done with hannah waddingham in the regents park version
Man that was pretty powerful. Where will she go? Doesn't matter now. She tried to reason with them. And yet they did find another way working together.
Ugh… how she BUILDS the song is so masterful. Patina is the heir to the great Audra MacDonald. She’s so consistently stellar. She was otherworldly as Leading Player in Pippin.
BREAKING NEWS: Patina is going to be The Witch in the upcoming Broadway revival of INTO THE WOODS. Transfer of the Encores production and replacing Heather Headley. Cannot wait!!!
I like how each person sat as she referred to them. When she sang “stole a little gold” Jack sat and etc. I guess “broke a little vow” refers to Little Red because she strayed from the path. I thought she was talking about the baker for some reason. Also why did the baker sit when she sang “told a little lie” I thought she was singing about Cinderella pretending to a princess at the ball
In the original broke a little vow was about was about the bakers wife cheating on the baker. However, considering the choreography in this production it makes more sense to make it about Reds vow to her grandma. It’s not really something I agree with because Red was clearly a victim not a active participant with the wolf and that was always Stephen’s intent. His show was about lying, cheating, stealing, killing to get what you want but the next generation will learn and there are consequences to your decisions.
The videographer didn’t take the part where she walked away, stopping for a while to look at them once and left for good. They did change the witch’s story. Instead of dying or disappearing into the ground. They just made her do “aight’ I’m out”
@@phoenixflores6193 I think it makes it a different but maybe better ending. She just kind of leaves, and it shows that she doesn’t really die, she’s just leaving and will transform back into what she once was.
@Parker930 she is suppose to at least disappear to not be seen again;reunited with her mother in the afterlife or just somewhere else but "away from this bunch" it's left to interpretation but she at least has to vanish; i very much like how it is depicted in the movie
@Parker930 well, let's say i don't dislike it but i liked that particular scene, but i always hated that they removed the mysterious man and "no more" ; no, by now my favorite version is the open air delacorte theater version
@Parker930 but everyone comes back in the finale,even the dead ones,even rapunzel and the baker's wife; the characters all come back for what they represent,not for what's happened them
Last midnight is suppose to give off best rage quit in musical theatre vibes. This gives me oh, i can’t get what i want? Fine. Bye. She’s a great singer but i just think the passion is lacking
Meh- with all that Hollywood Bowl money, she doesn't even vanish!!! WOW- now theatrics. Just stands there. Also her vocal arrangement sounds like Vanessa Williams. Meh.
These wigs and costumes belong to another production it seems. Like Once Upon A Mattress or Snow White maybe. They are too cartooning for this show. Also the choreography that the remaining 4 do on the floor is inappropriate for this scene.
And now she's going to reprise the role on broadway!!! I'm Super Excited!

Could've been because the Hollywood Bowl theatre doesn't have a trap door

@@ginonovanta or some dry ice smokescreen lol, coupled with some sound effects

Just saw her sing this on Broadway, gave me absolute chills. Look forward to the cast album
I loved Patina's performance ❤❤❤❤
I’m amazed. That was probably my favorite performance of that song. She truly made it her own. And I like the acting and choreography.
One thing to say :HER VOICE

I saw INTO THE WOODS with Patina today! AMAZING!
The choreography is amazing

he lied to jack about the beans

Bless you!
Just saw Patina do it last night on Broadway!!!! What a tour de force performance. Very sassy in the role.
This woman is Amazing ❤️❤️
HERE you want a little been *inhaled viciously* have anothe little bean* inhales ferociously*
Coming for the 2023 Tony Award
Yes she brings such a different witch but a poweful one And they need to perform at the Tony's as well
SHE DIDN'T DISAPPEAR IN THE GROUND!
Its a little bit difficult to do that at the Hollywood Bowl. They dont have that built in
The videographer didn’t take the part where she walked away, stopping for a while to look at them once and left for good. They did change the witch’s story. Instead of dying or disappearing into the ground. They just made her do “aight’ I’m out”
Why not just make her disappear through a trapdoor on the stairs?
@@phoenixflores6193 I think it makes it a different but maybe better ending. She just kind of leaves, and it shows that she doesn’t really die, she’s just leaving and will transform back into what she once was.
Do you have the whole show?!
Most singing parts! Dialogue, no.
Someone uploaded the whole thing but it was deleted :(
Why she sang it so happily
I love the outfit
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Why she didn't disappear at the end??It loses all the meaning...anyway great voice as always
Parker930 Right, but she lost her mother’s beans again. She’s supposed to die in this scene

@Parker930 In the show she gets swallowed by the ground.
@Parker930 but everyone comes back in the finale,even the dead ones,even rapunzel and the baker's wife; the characters all come back for what they represent,not for what's happened them
lol they could have at least done a smokescreen + blackout so that she can "disappear"
Last midnight is suppose to give off best rage quit in musical theatre vibes. This gives me oh, i can’t get what i want? Fine. Bye.
She’s a great singer but i just think the passion is lacking
Weston Snell you had to be there to see how she played the character. I was there and she was one of the best Witches I’ve ever seen!
j qui Ah okay! That’s great!
i didn't like it
This seems way too fast compared to the other versions I’ve listened to
This is more like a concert than a play. Something's lacking...
That’s the point
Ummmm it wasn't a full production.... It WAS a concert version.
It’s not supposed to be a play
This entire production felt half baked. The only standout was Sutton Foster who gave it her all.
Meh- with all that Hollywood Bowl money, she doesn't even vanish!!! WOW- now theatrics. Just stands there. Also her vocal arrangement sounds like Vanessa Williams. Meh.
If the Bway revival has this stupid ending, I don't want to see it. literally stands there and walks away.... completely blasé and anticlimactic
These wigs and costumes belong to another production it seems. Like Once Upon A Mattress or Snow White maybe. They are too cartooning for this show. Also the choreography that the remaining 4 do on the floor is inappropriate for this scene.
Troy Troy that’s funny. Because most of the costumes used in this production are from the original broadway production.
Lol Go watch the OG into the woods
Those are Tony Award winning costumes. Are you nuts??
I found this rather lackluster...
I hate to agree
You had to see her WHOLE interpretation of the character. I was there this night and legit she stole the show. She played the witch brilliantly!
it was lackluster
she left me a bit disappointed
2 years later and it still doesn't look good.
overrated
Halsey R No! She was amazing live
agreed.
Jealous
