Previewing 24 June 2000 and opening 18 July 2000 in the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, The Witches of Eastwick was based upon the John Updike novel of the same name and also upon the motion picture directed by George Miller. The director who 'fixed' previous show, "The Fix" for its American premiere, Eric D. Schaeffer, was employed to head the new production. The original cast featured Ian McShane in the role of 'Darryl Van Horne' with Lucie Arnaz, Maria Friedman and Joanna Riding as the three witches, 'Alexandra', 'Sukie' and 'Jane'. The show was transferred to the Prince of Wales theatre on the 23 March 2001, where the set design was heavily reconceived and a new song, "The Glory of Me" added in place of Van Horne's solo, "Who's the Man?". The production closed on the 27 October 2001. The Witches of Eastwick is the season ending musical to Signature Theatre's 2006-2007 season featuring Marc Kuddisch, Emily Skinner, Jacquelyn Piro Donovan, and Christiane Noll.

Who come with their crowns of pearl and their spindles of wool,
And their secret smile, out of the depths of the lake....”
