Brand new musical The Witches has opened at the National Theatre this winter!
Everything you know about witches is wrong. Forget the pointy hats and broomsticks: they’re the most dangerous creatures on earth.
And now they’ve come up with their most evil plan yet.
The only thing standing in their way is Luke and his Gran. But he’s ten and she’s got a dodgy heart. Time is short, danger is everywhere, and they’ve got just one chance to stop the witches from squalloping every stinking little child in England.
This production transforms Roald Dahl’s classic story into a thrilling musical experience, infused with cleverness, bravery, and emotion. The show features a script and lyrics by Olivier Award-winning Lucy Kirkwood, alongside music and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Dave Malloy, under the direction of Lyndsey Turner.
