The Witches of Eastwick is currently being performed at Preston’s Charter Theatre.
AdvertisementPut on by Preston Musical Comedy the show is directed by Peter Taylor with choreography by Lorna Cookson.
The story begins in the New England town of Eastwick, Rhode Island, the home of three unhappy divorcees and not-so-wicked witches, Alexandra, Jane and Sukie.
One stormy night, over a brew of martinis and brownies, they wish for their perfect man to appear. When he arrives in the form of Darryl Van Horneall all hell breaks loose. Quite literally.
Dana Rowe and John Dempsey’s stage musical of the movie was originally produced at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane and Prince of Wales Theatre by Cameron Mackintosh during 2000 and 2001. The show was re-written for a successful UK tour which starred Marti Pellow.

The show runs until Saturday 9 May at 7.30pm. Saturday matinee is at 2.30pm.
