What better way to ring in Halloween than with a tale of two famous witches? Wicked is the backstory behind The Wizard of Oz, with Elphaba — better known as the Wicked Witch of the West — and her friendship with Glinda the Good Witch when they were schoolmates. Wicked has been an audience favorite at the Gershwin Theatre since 2003, and it's filled with spells and gravity-defying broomstick rides. As a bonus, you'll learn the origin (according to the musical, anyway) of the famous pointy witch hat that features in many a Halloween costume.

Say his name three times, and he reappears: Beetlejuice is haunting Broadway for the third time.

Now a warning? The cult classic supernatural comedy movie Death Becomes Her the perfect Broadway show for Halloween. Frenemies Madeline Ashton and Helen Sharp are determined to outdo each other — and a magic potion that promises eternal youth might be the answer, but not without risks. Megan Hilty, Jennifer Simard, Christopher Sieber, and Michelle Williams assume the roles made famous on screen by Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis, and Isabella Rossellini.

Demogorgons, alternate dimensions, and unexplained supernatural happenings in a sleepy small town — those are the makings of a perfectly spooky show.

There's no better time than Halloween for a little wizardry and witchcraft. Grab your wand and your house robes and enter the Wizarding World at Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Years after the events of the books, Harry Potter's son Albus sets out to save the world from dark forces — which become even darker and spookier when Albus's quest messes with time. The previously two-part show is now condensed into one event, making for a single magical night at the Lyric Theatre.

Skid Row probably wouldn't be the best trick-or-treating spot — you might get eaten before you get any candy for yourself. Instead, enjoy the classic horror comedy Little Shop of Horrors from the safety of the audience — but still beware the snapping jaws of the flesh-eating plant Audrey II. It tasks a hapless flower shop worker, Seymour, with finding fresh meat, promising him fame and fortune if he's willing to kill for it.

The team behind the long-running Off-Broadway hit Drunk Shakespeare is sinking its teeth into another classic with Drunk Dracula. Five actors attempt to perform a zany reimagining of Bram Stoker's Dracula, except one of them takes five shots right beforehand. Everyone else has to keep the show on track no matter what the drunk actor does, and the audience even gets to join in the boozy, bloody, vampiric fun.

Nothing says Halloween like a costume ball. Attendees at Masquerade, an immersive reimagining of the classic musical The Phantom of the Opera, are asked to dress in formal attire and, of course, don a mask (they're provided if you don't have your own). Not to mention, the story of the titular Phantom, a mysterious, masked vocal coach who dwells in the underbelly of the Paris Opera House and becomes obsessed with its ingenue, is both enchanting and eerie.

The longest-running play in New York is still bringing in audiences with its mystery and thrill. The psychiatrist Margaret Brent is suspected of killing her husband — until he appears alive — and things only get complicated further when the detective on the case falls for her. Even if she's innocent, foul play is afoot, but the question remains until the final gunshot: Who killed who, and can they be caught, or did they commit the perfect crime?

In the early 20th century, the wealthy would entertain select groups of guests in intimate parlors, and magician Steve Cohen — nicknamed "The Millionaire's Magician" — recreates that experience for the public. With only a select number of seats available at each performance, audiences can expect a cozy experience where they don't just get to see time-honored (and yet utterly unbelievable) tricks — they get to be part of them.
