She's the witch, you're the world! Tony Award winner Joaquina Kalukango will join the cast of Into the Woods on Broadway. She will perform from December 16 through the end of the show's run at the St. James Theatre on January 8.

Kalukango is known for her Tony-winning performance as Nelly in Paradise Square in 2022, her Tony-nominated performance as Kaneisha in Slave Play in 2019, and other Broadway roles in The Color Purple and Holler If Ya Hear Me.

In Into the Woods, Kalukango replaces Patina Miller and Montego Glover, who currently share the role of The Witch. The current cast also includes Stephanie J.

Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Into the Woods mashes up the stories of beloved fairytale characters like Cinderella, Little Red Ridinghood, and more, as they all journey into the woods and discover that happily ever after isn't all it's cracked up to be.

The show's original production won three Tony Awards, including Best Original Score. A five-star New York Theatre Guide review calls this revival "bewitchingly beautiful and impeccably performed."
