About The Play

It’s 1958. Gillian Holroyd is a modern-day witch living in Manhattan. Handsome publisher Shep Henderson has just moved into the apartment above hers, and he catches her eye.

​

When she learns that he is marrying her college rival, Gillian casts a love spell on Shep and he immediately falls head over heels in love with her. But witches, unfortunately, cannot fall in love, and this complication leads to a number of entanglements before they find out if they can live happily ever after.

​

This is the Broadway play that spawned the Hollywood classic movie starring Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart.
