Fromleading ladyKathryn Hahnto Broadway legendPatti LuPone, the show has no shortage of astounding talent.
But, for me, itsJoe Lockes extraordinary performance asBilly Maximoffthat remains an absolute highlight.
But from the timeAgatha All Alongpremiered, I knew we were in for an exciting ride with the character.

With each and every installment, Lockes deep dive into the character stunned me.
Despite only being Lockes second major show, he more than proves up to the task from the beginning.
It was Lockes performance that made it a great mystery, though.

Strength and power arent always equivalent!
He played Billy with such a convincing innocence that it truly threw me off.
The writing for the character is twisted, and, at times, incredibly dark.

His combination of numbness and pure intensity makes the sequence so powerful, yet eerily subtle.
Of course, Billys darkness doesnt stop there.
His flight onto the battlefield was nothing short of epic and the perfect payoff to years of waiting.
Agatha Harkness, following the events of “WandaVision,” embarks on a quest to reclaim her lost powers. Teaming up with unlikely allies, including the son of her former enemy, she faces new mystical threats while navigating a complex world of magic and intrigue.
YetLocke makes another transition that brings all of Billys dynamic and complex qualities together into one!
The twist thathecreatedthe Witches Roadis brilliant writing, and Locke sells the shock and self-loathing that his character feels.
Agatha All Alongis available to stream on Disney+ in the U.S.
