HOCUS POCUS LIVE!!! Parody Musical to Return for 9th Year in Connecticut
Summer Orlando leads a cast portraying the Sanderson Sisters under the direction of Cole Urso.
Summer Orlando Productions has announced a 3-stop Connecticut tour of their live, slapstick musical twist on Disney's Halloween camp classic Hocus Pocus Live!!! An all-new parody musical with engagements planned in Torrington, Storrs, and Waterbury. Over the months of September and October 2026 , every corner of Connecticut will have a chance to experience the Sanderson Sisters running amuck amuck, amuck !
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 nine 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(Cole Stanley, Dani Orlando, Jane Urso) keep them from ruining everyone's Halloween? This parody version, suitable for children, features songs, jokes, and other surprises not found in the film! Also featuring the talents of Theresa Moscato, Stephen Michelsson, Alexis Dascher, Ken Normandin, Shelby Griffin.
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.
