For years, Bette Midler has begged Disney to make a Hocus Pocus sequel.  But each time she brings it up, nobody at the studio seemed interested.  Therefore, it’s intriguing that Disney just announced a made-for-TV remake of the flick – which sounds like it will not include Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy or Sarah Jessica Parker.  If SJP is so hot to make a sequel, she might wanna see if Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are interested in this.

If Disney needs a potential witch, might I suggest my pal Marissa Jaret Winokur?  The Tony-winning star played the role of Winifred Sanderson in the Unauthorized Musical Parody of Hocus Pocus at Rockwell Table and Stage in Los Angeles.  Marissa was SO fabulous in the role, she signed on to do a handful of shows this year.  And then tragedy struck – the person she was alternating with got a gig in NYC and left town.  That means Marissa is suddenly doing ALL THE SHOWS!  So you have oodles of opportunities to see Winokur strut her stuff.  It just opened and runs until November 4th, so grab your tickets fast at Rockwell-LA.com.
