Hokus Pokus Live! is a true love letter to the classic film, inspired by Bette Midler encouraging Ginger on the set of “Hocus Pocus 2.” As Ginger recalls, Midler told her, “I just really love the way that you do me. I would like to see you take this and run with it and turn it into something.” This enchanting new narrative production promises an evening of raucous laughter, unparalleled talent, stunning vocals, spellbinding performances, jaw-dropping drag artistry, and unforgettable entertainment as these queens and king bring their unique brand of sorcery to stages across North America.
Ginger Minj showed why she is at the top of the Drag Race mountain right now. She never put a foot wrong and was the glue that held the show together, but her skill at rolling with ad libs, and interactions with JuJu or Sapphira made for hilarious moments. Sapphira & JujuBee both held their own with them both getting to shine in the show, both singing live of course as well as Ginger.
This marks the third iteration of Hokus Pokus Live! but don’t expect to see the same show you’ve seen before.Ginger’s masterful work as a writer also showcases new songs that connect with the characters of the story we all know and love, and adds in the magic of each new cast member that only they can bring, while still staying true to the heart of the original film.
Highlights of the show are the very clever ways Ginger wove in all of their famous lines, and the comedy we love them for. So, if you love Hocus Pocus the original film. You will adore this love letter to the movie, and leave having had your Fix of your favorite queens and the Sanderson Sisters, until next year. Get your tickets now as word of mouth will likely help to make this the Hottest Ticket in town this fall.
