1. What's the best thing about playing the witch?
- I like being evil because I normally am not. And I think after finding it, my cackle is my favorite thing.

- We've been working for months. And I think not only the fact that it's just a beautiful show, but visually, I think it's going to put "The Wizard of Oz" in a different light. There are special effects, there are people flying.
