The Witches

The Witches at Rose Theatre

Why see The Witches?

Dahl's scariest novel comes to the stage!

Uh oh... hide the kids! Only kidding folks. This outrageously funny musical adaptation of Roald Dahl's creeptastic novel is making its way to the Rose Theatre, in cahoots with Curve Leicester Production! When hundreds of rather scary looking women convene in a hotel, one boy and his grandmother suspect that all is not quite right with them - they are correct, as they are witches! And they absolutely loathe children...

The witches are meeting to find out a way to make all children disappear from the face of the earth. wipe them out like weasels! They want to squish them and squiggle them and make them disappear. However, they haven't counted on our young hero and his plucky granny to foil their plans for good. Only there's just one teeny problem - the witches have a nasty habit of turning their enemies into mice!

With an original score with dancing, singing and full-on hijinks, this is one Dahl-tastic adventure that's fit for the whole family. Go and see it - if you dare!
