Glasgow date announced for Hocus Pocus in Concert UK tour with live orchestra

Iconic Disney film Hocus Pocus will be presented live in concert for the first time in the UK in October 2022 with a nationwide tour - and it's coming to Glasgow.

Billed as 'the perfect Halloween treat', Hocus Pocus in Concert will feature a screening of the complete film with Emmy-winning composer John Debney’s musical score performed live to the spooky classic.

The UK tour kicks off at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Sunday, October 23, before hitting Manchester, Birmingham, London and finishing up at Nottingham Royal Concert Hall.

Hocus Pocus tells the story of three witches who are accidentally brought back to life in Salem on Halloween night. Known as the Sanderson sisters, they attempt to steal the life essence from the town’s children so they can have eternal life.

They are outwitted by a boy, Max Dennison, his young sister, Dani, and his girlfriend, Allison, and aided by a boy, Thackery Binx, who had been changed into a cat for trying to interfere with the witches centuries earlier.

Released on July 16, 1993 and directed by Kenny Ortega, the film stars Bette Midler (Winifred), Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah), Kathy Najimy (Mary), Omri Katz (Max), Thora Birch (Dani), Vinessa Shaw (Allison).

Tickets will be available for the Glasgow date from Ticketmaster here.
