... No magic is stronger than British duo John Dempsey and Dana P. Rowe’s deliciously witchy, devilish musical comedy,”Witches of Eastwick,” currently appearing at Ogunquit Playhouse, Ogunquit, Maine, the next two weeks. The playhouse was honored with globally renowned British producer Sir Cameron Mackintosh’s selecting it for his American Northeast premiere. The stage adaptation, based on John Updike’s 1984 novel and Hollywood movie starring Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon, and Cher, originally debuted at London’s historic Theatre Royal Drury Lane, and is performed internationally.
Handsome, tall and sexy James Barbour is one electrically-charged, testosterone-laden, devious devil, who captivates not only his three female followers and, later, the entire Eastwick townfolk, but bewitches theatergoers with his naughty, devil-may-care persona. Barbour’s melodic voice and slick movements make him a force to be reckoned with.
