Over the Moon


The Witches in a new musical are just itching to fly, writes Alison Barclay

OOH, ooh, witchy woman, see how high they fly. Marina Prior, Angela Toohey and Pippa Grandison may seem firmly grounded now, but come the Australian premiere of [i:post_uid0]The Witches of Eastwick[/i:post_uid0], concrete stilettos won't keep them down.

"This fantastic cast will literally fly to new heights." says producer Cameron Mackintosh.

Based on the John Updike novel and inspired by the 1987 film, [i:post_uid0] Witches [/i:post_uid0] is a musical of martinis, socery and the strange powers of the feminine pysche - hence the airborne pleasures awaiting this trio of stars.

It doesn't open until August, but Toohey's knuckles are already white with excitement.

"it is on of the reasons why I jumped at this role," says the singer, best known for playing Liza Minelli in [i:post_uid0]The Boy from Oz[/i:post_uid0].

"A friend of mine who saw the show in London said they sing this song, then they fly! I said, 'They get to fly? Unreal! What, just floating around the stage a little bit? and he said, 'No, you go right up to the first balcony - you can touch the people in the balcony'."

It should help alleviate Toohey's sense of herself as a thwarted Peter Pan. "I don't care about anything else. Just the fact that I get to do that, it means so much to me."

Grandison is more realistic, having made TV Commercials in which she was hoiked up in a harness. Prior is quietly keen. "It was a major incentive," she says.

Indeed, [i:post_uid0] Witches [/i:post_uid0] will grant Prior her greates wish - to show everyone how funny she is. The tender heroine of [i:post_uid0]Showboat, West Side Story and Phantom of the Opera[/i:post_uid0] can't wait to chew into some hectic comedy as Jane, the divorcee who, with her two friends, conjures up her - and their - perfect man.

"The last theatre project I did was [i:post_uid0] Guys and Dolls [/i:post_uid0] and that was a chace to break out of the mould, I guess," says Prior, for whom motherhood has been the major gig of late.

"I'm really excited about doing this for the same sorts of reasons. The journey this character goes on is fantastic. She has an extreme change throughout the show, from a meek, rather repressed classical music teacher to a vamp."

The catalyst for the uproar in Eastwick is Darryl Van Horne, played by multi-talenetd comedian Paul McDermott. For him, the three friends are united in lust. The friendship survives the discovery that all three are romping with the same man.

"It's 'How dare you, this is mine!'," says Toohey, who plays straight-talking sculpto Alexandra.

"But they all realise he is only really fulfilling sexual needs. And he is good at it, they don't care.

John Dempsey and Dana P Rowe must have porked up immensely while writing the show, which opened in London in July 2000. "But they all realise he is only really fulfilling sexual needs. And he is good at it, they don't care. "For [i:post_uid0] The Witches of Eastwick [/i:post_uid0], that ritual was a combination of lattes and blueberry muffins, every morning six days a week for two years," the pair say in their production notes.

Getting a comedian to give a straight answer is usually difficult at the best of times.

But getting Paul McDermott to stick to the point about his starring role in the stage production of Witches of Eastwick is another thing altogether.

"I have to clarify - I'm playing Darryl Van Horne, not Darryl Van Horney" he jokes "I want people to know that, otherwise it makes the show sound like an episode of Benny Hill"

McDermott reprised the role made famous by Jack Nicholson. The Sshow opens at the Princess Theatre on August 17.

McDermott said there would not be too many similarities with the film.

"It's a different thing entirely" he said "But yes there will be cherries regurgitated"

That said, we weren't sure quite what to believe during our interview with the quick-witted TV star.

After all, when he started saying that Prior made a good witch, we twigged he must have been pulled our legs.

Surely he couldn't be talking about the stage sweetheart of the nanna brigade?

"Oh, she's a shocker," he said, straight-faced. We'll just have to take your word for that, Paul.
