The Witches of Eastwick
Book and Lyrics by John Dempsey
Music by Dana P. Rowe
Based on the novel by John Updike
Directed by Brittanie Shipway
Presented by Neglected Musicals in association with Hayes Theatre Co
Comedy, drama, and horror collide in this spellbinding musical adaptation of The Witches of Eastwick. Originally a 1984 novel by John Updike, the story was famously brought to the screen in the 1987 dark fantasy comedy film directed by George Miller, starring Jack Nicholson, Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Susan Sarandon.
In the sleepy New England town of Eastwick, three smart, sharp, and slightly supernatural divorcees find themselves trapped in the monotony of small-town life.
Enter Darryl Van Horne — mysterious, magnetic, and unapologetically outrageous.
Darkly funny, deliciously subversive, and packed with showstopping numbers, The Witches of Eastwick is a bewitching musical thrill ride — proving that sometimes, sisterhood is the strongest magic of all.
