Hocus Pocus Live!!! An All-New Parody Musical springs from the zany and creative mind of one of Connecticut's most prolific performing artists, Summer Orlando! A full-length theatrical musical parody, the production, which has run for eight sold-out years, is like no other filled with jaw-dropping costumes, special effects, a full set, live singing, choreographed production numbers, magic, and surprises. Five original cast members of the film have given their stamp of approval, including Kathy Najimy and Jordan Redmond. Bette Midler herself says Hocus Pocus Live's Winifred looks just like her!

Summer Orlando Productions' Hocus Pocus Live!!! An All-New Parody musical resurrects the 300-year-old Sanderson Sisters, allowing them to wreak havoc on modern day Salem. Can they break the curse that stole their youth, or will three intrepid kids keep them from ruining everyone's Halloween? This parody version, suitable for children, features songs, jokes, and other surprises not found in the film!

Stunning lookalikes of the original cast, the Sanderson Sisters are portrayed by Summer Orlando, New England's #1 Winifred Sanderson impersonator as seen in Disney's Hocus Pocus 2; Bonnie Petite as Mary Sanderson; and Miranda Miranda as Sarah Sanderson. The rest of the cast includes Cameron Krauth (Max Dennison), Danielle Orlando (Dani Dennison), Jane Kos/ Alexis Dascher (Allison), Stephen Michelsson (Billy Butcherson), Theresa Moscato (Miss Olin). Alexis Dacher, Ken Normandin, and Shelby Griffin (Swing, Ensemble)
