The cast of a magical musical, which is set to sweep the stage at Northampton's Derngate Theatre, will be hoping to leave the audience truly bewitched.

Wet Wet Wet's lead singer Marti Pellow is due to star in this new production of The Witches of Eastwick, which starts its one week run at the Derngate on Tuesday September 16.

The show is based on the hit Warner Brothers film of the same name, which starred Hollywood legends Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer and Cher.

The production tells the tale of three desperate housewives from small town America who wish for the man of their dreams but get more than they bargained for.


Starring alongside Marti will be Ria Jones, Rebecca Thornhill and Poppy Tierney, with Rachel Izen playing the role of Felicia Gabriel.

Marti will be a famous face to audiences as someone who made his name in the hit pop group Wet Wet Wet before going on to pursue a successful solo career.

The Witches of Eastwick will play in Northampton until September 20, with performances starting at 7.30pm Tuesday to Thursday and at 5pm and 8.30pm next Friday and Saturday.

Tickets will cost between £18.50 to £36.00 and can be booked by calling the box office on 01604 624811 or logging onto www.royalandderngate.co.uk
