About The Witches of Eastwick

In the tiny New England town of Eastwick, Rhode Island, three modern day witches innocently plot and conjure over a heady brew of weak martinis and chocolate brownies. But when their dreams become a reality with the arrival of one Darryl Van Horne all hell breaks loose - quite literally!

The Witches of Eastwick is a musical comedy by John Dempsey and Dana P Rowe; originally produced on the London stage by Cameron Mackintosh, and, as mentioned above, the show is based on the novel by John Updike and the Warner Bros. motion picture starring Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer. This hit West End musical comedy flies into Newcastle's Theatre Royal for one week only from 21 - 26 April 2008.

The Witches of Eastwick is a show full of comedy, drama, great music and dazzling special effects including a spectacular flying sequence! It's a devil of a good show - a truly magical experience for all the family.
