Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker are ready to put a spell on you once again! As Entertainment Tonight shares, Midler took to social media on Sunday to post a photo of the Hocus Pocus trio back in their iconic costumes for their upcoming reunion special, sharing her excitement for the event!
Midler shares her excitement for Hocus Pocus special
Midler teased the exciting reunion by sharing a photo of herself with Najimy and Parker on Instagram. In the picture, the trio can be seen standing in front of a blue screen in costume as they reprise their beloved roles of the witchy "Sanderson Sisters"— "Winifred", "Mary", and "Sarah", respectively.
"Your 3 fav witches - @sarahjessicaparker @kathynajimy & ME - are returning for 1 night only on 10/30 at 8p ET!" Midler wrote alongside the behind-the-scenes pic. "In Search of the Sanderson Sisters" is the best thing to happen to #Halloween since Hocus Pocus + Reeses Pieces!"
Midler has said she hopes to "fly again" as "Winifred"
Midler and her Hocus Pocus castmates are coming together for an important cause! As Entertainment Tonight mentions, In Search of the Sanderson Sisters will take place on October 30 as part of the annual fundraiser event Hulaween. The organization calls the reunion "one of the hottest pandemic-safe Halloween events of the year," and proceeds will go to Midler's New York Restoration Project, which funds social and environmental justice work.
Tickets for the one-night-only special are available online via NYRP's website, so fans can stream the event anywhere in the world! Since its release in 1993, Disney's Hocus Pocus has become something of a go-to Halloween classic for many, so this reunion comes at an especially exciting time! And as Entertainment Tonight shares, during last year's Hulaween, Midler said she would love to reprise her role of "Winifred" for the Hocus Pocus sequel that's in the works!
Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble!
"Oh my goodness me. Oh I hope they get to me before I'm a corpse," the actress said jokingly at the time. "We wanna fly again. I hope Disney+ is a big success and I hope we get to do it, because [Winifred] is of course one of my favorite characters." Hopefully, Midler's wish comes true and we get to see even more of "Winifred" and the "Sanderson Sisters" in the future!
