Playing now through September 27 at John Lane’s Ogunquit Playhouse in Maine is a staged musical-comedy adaptation of the movie based on Updike’s novel, The Witches of Eastwick.

From the Ogunquit Playhouse website:

The Witches of Eastwick are the original “desperate housewives!” The Ogunquit Playhouse is proud to be selected by Cameron Mackintosh to be the American Northeast premiere of his hit stage adaptation of The Witches of Eastwick, the sexy new musical comedy based on the Warner Brothers hit motion picture starring Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon and Cher.

Brewing and stewing about their dull lives, three small town New England women wish for the man of their dreams – and they get far more than they bargain for when all hell breaks loose and the devil incarnate, Darryl Van Horne, arrives to liven things up! Come on over to the dark side with this hysterical and devilish show, with its beautiful original score, that was declared “musical comedy heaven” by London’s Daily Mail. Three sexy witches and one lucky devil will leave you asking the question – “Trick or treat?”

Running time: 2 hours and 30 minutes with intermission.
