I have to take a moment to acknowledge the two brilliant women starring in my next directing project, The Unauthorized Musical Parody of #HocusPocus. Alternating in the role of Winnie (created famously by @bettemidler) are beloved Tony Award winner MARISSA JARET WINOKUR (Broadway's HAIRSPRAY, GREASE, @dancingabc & a million other hilarious shows) and international pop/dance recording artist, TV host, producer, & actress BECKY BAELING LYTHGOE. I have admired these marvelous human beings from afar for a while and I'm honestly so humbled, grateful & excited to create some magic with them. Get your tix at Rockwell-la.com. Thank you @christopheryoungsman for "that marvelous introduction." #hocuspocusunauthorized #dreamscometrue #director #LAtheatre
