SUMMARY:Disney's Hocus Pocus in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Just in time for Halloween\, Orchestra Iowa presents a live orchestral accompaniment to Disney’s beloved Hocus Pocus. Costumes encouraged! \nAbout the Concert:\nAccidentally conjured on Halloween night in modern-day Salem\, three seventeenth- century witches known as the Sanderson sisters\, plot to steal the life essence from the town’s children to ensure their own eternal life. The diabolical sisters are comically outwitted by three prankster kids and aided by Thackery Binx\, a boy transformed into a cat centuries earlier for interfering with the witches. Released on July 16\, 1993\, and directed by Kenny Ortega\, the spooky comedy stars Bette Midler (Winifred)\, Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah)\, Kathy Najimy (Mary)\, Omri Katz (Max)\, Thora Birch (Dani)\, and Vinessa Shaw (Allison).
