Review: In ‘The Witches’ Musical, the Playful and the MacabreReview: In ‘The Witches’ Musical, the Playful and the Macabre
8 / 10
A charming and spirited musical adaptation of Dahl’s much-loved book — written by Lucy Kirkwood and directed by Lyndsey Turner — opened this month at the National Theater, in London, running through Jan. 27, 2024. It’s a deftly rendered production, a high-quality piece of family entertainment that skilfully blends the playful and the macabre, and does justice to the author’s distinct comic style.
