About the event
Based on the John Updike novel and the 1987 Hollywood film about three bored New England witches who conjure up a wicked lover, the musical by John Dempsey and Dana P. Rowe features a showstopping score including “Make Him Mine”, “Dirty Laundry”, “Dance With the Devil” and “I Wish I May”.
Alexandra (Alex), Sukie, and Jane, three women living in a small town dominated by local Felicia Gabriel, all share a desire for some excitement to spice up their mundane lives. Wishing for "all manner of man in one man," one arrives in a literal flash as the devilish Darry Van Horne. As Horne seduces them, the three women began to explore their powers in this comedic musical.
