The Witches of Eastwick

T01088942943
The Witches of Eastwick is set in the tiny New England community of Eastwick, where three modern-day witches, to brighten up their lives, innocently plot and conjure over a heady brew of weak Martinis and peanut butter brownies. With the arrival of 'Darryl Van Horne', in whom their fantasies are made flesh, he makes them have so much fun that they are really flying! And then all hell breaks loose. Quite literally. Jack Nicholson turned on the devilish charm in the film version with Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Book by	John Updike
Music	Dana Rowe
Lyrics	John Dempsey
