In the film and Central Park versions of INTO THE WOODS, when the Witch starts throwing the beans during "The Last Midnight", are the other characters in the scene scrambling to get them so another beanstalk won't grow in the woods or do they want them for another purpose? Call me dumb, but I'm kinda unclear on that.
Yes, I think that they are scrambling to prevent another beanstalk growing again, that is shown clearly in the movie but it's rather ambiguous in the OBC and 2012 Recordings.
Have another bean Beans were made for making you rich! Plant them and they soar Here, you want some more? Listen to the roar Giants by the score Oh well, you can blame another witch
