The 2024 Hocus Pocus Live!!! Tour has now officially ended and the candle has gone out! These last 3 months have been a nonstop rollercoaster ride. I want to first Say THANK YOU!!! To the sold-out audiences that came out to see all my shows and supported local performance art, to the new and repeat customers and businesses that booked Winnie this season for your events and parties, I couldn't continue to do what I do without you. When I first created this show 7 years ago, I had a clear vision in my head about what I wanted to present. It’s amazing to see how much it has grown, changed and morphed into something stupendous and downright magical. From a 30 minute skit all those years ago to now a 90 minute full length parody musical. Thank you so much to the people at Disney who took a chance on this witch and invited her to be a part of the Hocus Pocus universe. Being a part of "Hocus Pocus 2" was a childhood dream come true. One I will never forget. To my amazing Venues: Warner Theatre, Palace Theater - Waterbury, CT, Priam Vineyards, Cabaret On Main Theater, Garde Arts Center, Essex Steam Train & Riverboat, thank you for embracing me and taking a chance on my show, I’m proud to call you family and I look forward to many more years working together. To my amazing sponsor Apex Community Care I could not have brought the magic to the Palace without you. The visually pleasing lighting and the magic you didn't see behind the scenes would not be possible without my amazing Stage Manager Heather Spiegel. Thank you to my amazing Prop builders Kyle Pasciutti, and Dane for a replica candle stand and cauldron only Disney could pull off To my amazing set designers at Tailored to Fear for your broadway quality magic. David Marciniszyn, thanks for taking pictures and making magic with them you are the BEST graphic designer a queen could ask for. Lüke Haughwøut thanks for traveling around with us and capturing the performances on video. My Pat in law Patrick Tatnall for being a great moving truck driver and Merch guy, and keeping me sane through the process. My Amazing PR team and Jacques Lamarre at BuzzEngine . To ConnecticutDrag.com and Kevin Ferrisi for following the show around and writing amazing reviews and write ups about your experience. To any publication newspaper, magazine or tv station that covered the show, or interviewed me. Thank you for giving me a voice to share my story and experiences. To ZFX Flying Effects and my amazing flying director Troy Trinkle thank you for creating the magic in the air and making it possibly for the witches to actually fly live on stage. Finally, to my AMAZING CAST Cameron Krauth, Dani Orlando, Shannon Robinson, Paul Mjr, Miranda Miranda, Teesa TheTree Moscato, Barbra Joan Streetsand, Benji McClary Alexis Dascher, Ken Normandin Bonnie Petít, Jane Kos Thank you for lending your talents, being fabulous and dealing with my craziness at times. You are the best company a witch could ask for and I enjoyed sharing the stage with you so greatly. Extra shoutout to Bonnie for being the best meet and greet photographer, costumer mender, and overall superstar at all tasks.
to my Fam Kenny and Jimmy. Thanks for being great set builders and helping me load and unload the set at our final stop. If I forgot anyone know that you are loved and appreciated. until next year, and already big things are in the works. bye bye,
Dance until you Die!
