The world of sophisticated New York witches, love, publishing, love, magic spells, love, nightclubs, love, warlock brothers, love, bewitching aunts, love ... all rolled into one briskly paced musical package in a comedy about ... love -- inspired by John Van Drueten's Broadway comedy of the 1950's, and flavored by its predecessors like "I Married a Witch" and its successors like TV's "Bewitched" -- the subject lends itself to an all singing and all dancing format as Suzanne -- attractive, witty, and totally bewitching, sets her witch's cap for publisher Lester Maine, while brother Nicky and his author friend Rex set out to "out" the entire community, and Aunt Beatrice and Madame du Bois fight out the rivalry for leadership of the coven of Manhattan.
