    Norah Jones, Gregg Wattenberg to Write “Practical Magic” Musical

    We are so very excited to share the news that a new stage musical based on “Practical Magic” is in development! Grammy winners Norah Jones and Gregg Wattenberg are writing the music, with original “Practical Magic” books author Alice Hoffman writing the story along with playwright Peter Duchan.

    Maria Friedman (“Merrily We Roll Along“) will direct.

    “I’m so excited to be working with my amazing collaborators on bringing ‘Practical Magic’ to the stage,” Hoffman said about the project. “This story of love and sisterhood is meant for the theater. Music is the heart and soul of ‘Practical Magic,’ you can hear it as you read the book, even though it isn’t there. Now you will finally hear the story as I always imagined it. You will hear magic.”

    It’s unclear if the musical will take its cues more from the book series, or from the classic 1998 Griffin Dunne film. The movie starred Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Dianne Wiest, Stockard Channing, Aidan Quinn, Goran Višnjić, and a young Evan Rachel Wood. A sequel to that film, directed by Susanne Bier and reuniting the original cast, is set to premiere later this year.

    For more than two centuries, the Owens women have been feared, blamed, and whispered about in their small Massachusetts town. Orphaned as children and raised by their eccentric aunts, sisters Sally and Gillian Owens grow up determined to escape the ancestral curse they inherited. Choosing opposite paths, the sisters try to outrun their past, until love, loss, and long-buried secrets pull them back together. Forced to confront their family legacy, Sally and Gillian must decide whether the past can be overcome – and how much they are willing to risk for love.

    If the musical doesn’t have an interactive “Midnight Margaritas” song and dance sequence, there is no justice.

    “Practical Magic 2” is due to hit theaters September 11th, 2026. We’ll let you know what we hear about the musical and the ever-rumored tv series adaptation.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
