The Witches | ’Get Up!’ Studio Session | National Theatre

The cast of The Witches sing Get Up! from the new musical rendition of Roald Dahl’s classic tale, playing in the Olivier Theatre from 7 November. The audio of Get Up! will be released by Broadway Records and available to stream from Friday 3 November. -- Everything you know about witches is wrong. Forget the pointy hats and broomsticks: they’re the most dangerous creatures on earth. And now they’ve come up with their most evil plan yet. The only thing standing in their way is Luke and his Gran. But he’s ten and she’s got a dodgy heart. Time is short, danger is everywhere, and they’ve got just one chance to stop the witches from squalloping every stinking little child in England. The Witches is a rip-roaring musical version of Roald Dahl’s timeless tale, filled with wit, daring and heart. With book and lyrics by Olivier Award-winner Lucy Kirkwood, music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominee Dave Malloy, and directed by Lyndsey Turner. -- Subscribe on YouTube: Sign up to our monthly newsletter: National Theatre TikTok: @nationaltheatre National Theatre Twitter: National Theatre Facebook: National Theatre Instagram: National Theatre Live Twitter: National Theatre Live Facebook: -- At the National Theatre in London, we make world-class theatre that is entertaining, challenging and inspiring.
