Starts 7 November 2023
Roald Dahl’s classic tale The Witches is brought to life in a new stage musical at the National Theatre this November.
The Witches is a rip-roaring musical version of Roald Dahl’s timeless tale, filled with wit, daring and heart.
The show has a book and lyrics by Olivier Award-winner Lucy Kirkwood (HBO Succession), music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominee Dave Malloy, direction by Lyndsey Turner and choreography by Stephen Mear (Mary Poppins).
The Witches features a great cast including Katherine Kingsley (The Larkins) and Daniel Rigby (Accidental Death of an Anarchist).
Roald Dahl’s The Witches will begin performances on 7 November 2023 at the National Theatre.
Tickets for The Witches at the National Theatre on sale soon.
What's the story of The Witches?
Everything you know about witches is wrong. Forget the pointy hats and broomsticks: they’re the most dangerous creatures on earth.
And now they’ve come up with their most evil plan yet.
The thing standing in their way is Luke and his Gran. But he’s only ten and she’s got a dodgy heart. Time is short, danger is everywhere, and they’ve got just one chance to stop the witches from squalloping every stinking little child in England.

The cast includes Katherine Kingsley, Daniel Rigby, Julie Armstrong, Chrissie Bhima, Zoe Burkett, Daniele Coombe, Molly-May Gardiner, Tiffany Graves, Tania Mathurin, Jacob Maynard, Laura Medforth and Ben Redfern.
