Great review by Bridget Campos of UMPO of “Hocus Pocus” at Rockwell Table & Stage

| October 24, 2017

With Halloween being right around the corner. People are highly anticipating to watch spooky and frightful tales whether they are from their favorite movies like ‘Saw’, ‘Halloween’, ‘Night of the Living Dead’, and ‘Friday the 13th’ — among other horror films.

Yet others prefer more lighthearted stories about ghosts, witches, vampires and/or monsters. In a tribute to one of the most popular cult-classic films, Rockwell Table & Stage presents a musical parody of Disney’s 1993 movie Hocus Pocus that starred Bette Midler as Winifred Sanderson, Sarah Jessica Parker as Sarah Sanderson, and Kathy Najimy as Mary Sanderson.

Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy may have flopped at the box office when Disney debuted the original flick back in 1993, but the Kenny Ortega-directed comedy has since gone on to cult hit status, making it ripe for the kind of voodoo spoofery co-writers John Flynn and Kate Pazakis do so well.
