All hell is set to break loose, literally, as Marti Pellow hits Milton Keynes Theatre as the devilish Darryl Van Horne in The Witches of Eastwick - (23-28 Feb).
Based on the popular 80’s movie, The Witches of Eastwick sees three desperate housewives in small town America get more than they bargained for when they wish for the man of their dreams – or should that be nightmares?!

album, Sentimental Me, inspired by playing at the famous Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, was released in April this year and he has just completed a sell out UK tour as well as starring as The Arbiter in Chess in Concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
