They're joined by Heather Headley in the role of the Witch. Gavin Creel plays the Wolf and Cinderella's Prince and Denée Benton is Cinderella.
"Sondheim is difficult and the lyrics are difficult and the music is so difficult, and it really takes a highly-skilled group of people to pull it off the way that they have, and so I'm just in awe of all of them and just so blessed to be able to be with them doing this. So I feel very proud," Headley said.
