With Halloween right around the corner, witches are on everybody\u2019s minds\u2026 so here are the top 6 witch roles that we can\u2019t wait for the opportunity to bring to life on the stage!<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

1. The Three Witches from Macbeth<\/em><\/h4>\n \"\"<\/span>

Double double, toil and trouble\u2026 I don\u2019t even have to finish the rest because you already know how it goes! These three powerhouses have inspired witches for generations. Crafty and mysterious they help lead an overly ambitious soldier to killing multitudes for the throne of Scotland that he\u2019s murder for soon after!<\/p>\n

Favorite Line:<\/strong> \u201cBy the pricking of my thumb \/ Something wicked this way comes.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>

2. The Witch from Into the Woods<\/em><\/h4>\n \"\"<\/span>

Regardless if you prefer Meryl Streep or Bernadette Peters, everyone can agree that the Witch in Into the Woods<\/em> is a dream role with some dream solos. Feisty, cunning, and with a unique sense of humor, The Witch is at the heart of the show\u2019s craziness that we all adore so much.<\/p>\n

Favorite Line:<\/strong>\u00a0“I\u2019m not good, I\u2019m not nice, I\u2019m just right!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

3.\u00a0Elphaba from Wicked<\/em><\/h4>\n \"\"<\/span>

Who hasn\u2019t dreamt of defying gravity and painting themselves all green? Getting to sing one of the most iconic songs in Broadway is only half the reason Elphaba is on this list \u2013 the other half is that she\u2019s unapologetically herself, willing to take drastic risks, and a model witch.<\/p>\n

Favorite Line:<\/strong>\u00a0“Some things I cannot change, but \u2018til I try I\u2019ll never know.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. Abigail Williams from The Crucible<\/em><\/h4>\n \"\"<\/span>

Cunning, manipulative, full of passion and vengeance\u2026 Abigail has a magnetism to her that\u2019s absolutely bewitching. Neither we nor the great John Proctor can keep ourselves away from her wild nature and dangerous antics. Abby holds a special place in our hearts as one of the most well-known villains in American Theatre!<\/p>\n

Favorite Line:<\/strong> \u201cEnvy is deadly sin, Mary.\u201d<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Hermione Granger in The Cursed Child<\/em><\/h4>\n \"\"<\/span>

Everyone wanted to be in the magical world of Harry Potter growing up and The Cursed Child<\/em> is your chance to get there on the stage! Hermione is already well loved in the books and movies for her intelligence, ferocity, and incredible grace under pressure. And on the stage she\u2019s even more magical.<\/p>\n

Favorite Line:<\/strong> \u201cBut if it does, we\u2019ll find a way to fight it, Harry. We always have.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

6.\u00a0Medea from Medea<\/em><\/h4>\n \"\"<\/span>

One of the most well-known heroines\/villainesses (depending on your interpretation) in Greek mythology, Medea doesn\u2019t meet the traditional definition of the word witch\u2026 unless you count flying away on a chariot drawn by dragons and being a priestess of Hecate. Faced with a treacherous husband and impending doom, Medea carved out her ultimate revenge.<\/p>\n

Favorite Line:<\/strong> \u201cHate me. But I tire of your barking bitterness.\u201d<\/p>\n
