Kenny Ortega reveals he would love to bring Hocus Pocus to Broadway

The rumour mill has gone back into overdrive about a possible Hocus Pocus musical, as the film’s director Kenny Ortega has revealed he would love to bring the cult classic to Broadway.

In an interview with Forbes Magazine, Ortega said: "I'd love to do Hocus Pocus on Broadway, and perhaps Thomas Schumacher, the president of Disney Theatrical Group, would give me a call, and we could talk about it.”

He went on to say: "Honestly, I think that there's a lot of good fun that could be had with Hocus Pocus as a musical with the right actresses. I remember seeing Xanadu with Cheyenne Jackson, and they just had a blast poking at it and brought the movie to life in the way that perhaps we should have done in the movie. I think it could be a great strange production.

“I know Disney stages Hocus Pocus in one of their parks in Orlando, Florida, every Halloween as a 20-minute show. It is quite an attraction. Lots of people gather around to watch it, and they play it all through the season.!

"The thing that I love is that people love Hocus Pocus for different reasons...It's become a perennial Halloween favorite, and why that is changes depending on who you are, it's not the same thing to everyone. That's pretty wonderful, and I when you ask what I expected, I didn't really expect that."

We really hope this happens, Besties!
