‘Agatha All Along’ Team on Reprising ‘The Witches Road’ as a Rock Ballad and Singing With Patti LuPone: ‘It Was So Intimidating’


The cast of "Agatha All Along" revealed how the song was crafted and how they were initially scared to sing alongside Broadway legend Patti Lupone.

Once they reach the road, the coven — comprised of Agatha, Teen (Joe Locke), Lilia Calderu (Patti LuPone), Rio Vidal (Aubrey Plaza), Jennifer Kale (Sasheer Zamata), and Alice Wu-Gulliver (Ali Ahn) — face a series of life-or-death trials that test their witchcraft knowledge and skill, and in Episode 4, they’re forced to sing “The Ballad of the Witches’ Road” again to free Alice from a curse that has had her family in its (quite literal) clutches for generations. Schaeffer and Livanos spoke with Variety about the creation of “The Ballad of the Witches Road,” while the cast of “Agatha All Along” discussed how they shot their performance in Episode 4 and what it is like signing alongside a Tony-winning Broadway legend like Patti LuPone. Mary Livanos (Executive Producer): During the writing of this show, Jac kept wrapping her head around the story and was determined to find a way to work with the Lopez’s again.
