About the event
I PUT A SPELL ON YOU 2026
Experience the magic of Jay Armstrong Johnson’s I Put a Spell on You - the spellbinding Halloween benefit dubbed one of NYC’s “most coveted” by VOGUE.
Inspired by Disney's Hocus Pocus, what began as an intimate cabaret has grown into an international phenomenon, blending Broadway spectacle, pop culture, and unapologetic queer joy into one legendary night. Led by creator and executive producer Jay Armstrong Johnson, the evening features a star-studded lineup of Tony winners and nominees, chart-topping artists, Broadway favorites, and world-class drag performers, including hundreds of dancers, designers, artists, and crew.
Raising critical funds for the Ali Forney Center, the nation’s largest organization supporting LGBTQIA+ youth experiencing homelessness, the annual celebration proves that community and love are the most powerful magic of all. Come, we fly!
Jay Armstrong Johnson's I Put a Spell on You is proudly produced by Andy Jones (Baseline Theatrical), Shannon Molly Flynn (Normal Ave), and Joe Hornberger (Julie Drive Productions).
