Stephen Sondheim had written a new song for the film, titled "She'll Be Back," written specifically for The Witch.[ 3] "It was beautiful and spectacular, but it was very clear, as good as the song was, that [the movie] was stronger without.", director Rob Marshall proclaimed.[ 4] "Rainbows," a song originally written for a film adaption of Into the Woods in the 1990s, was reportedly to be included, although Marshall denied such a claim.[ 4]
Paul Gemignani and Jonathan Tunick , who conducted and orchestrated (respectively) the original Broadway stage show , returned to conduct and orchestrate the music for the film at Angel Recording Studios in London, with the cast's vocals being recorded separately.[ 5]
