No publisher would make that information so easily and publically available since they are responsible for licensing productions and collecting the appropriate royalties and rental fee, and it's just too easy to do a show illegally if the script is available to the public without payment or legal rights.
I would have suggested that you contact the publisher and get a perusal copy, but I have checked all the usual US publishers of musicals (Tams-Witmark, MTI, R&H Theatre Library and Samuel French) but none of them have "The Witches of Eastwick" in their catalogues.
You might want to contact your producer and see if they could mail you a copy of the script or contact the rights holder to do the same.

As one of the small subset of people who own the original Witches of Eastwick score CD and also live in one of the seven test markets for Digital Video Disc, I guess it's my duty to comment on the recently released Witches of Eastwick DVD, which includes John Williams's score isolated in stereo.
The original Warner CD to the Witches of Eastwick came out in 1987 and is long out of print.
The good news is that for slightly less than it would cost you to acquire this CD today, you can probably purchase both the film with its complete isolated score and a DVD machine to play it on.

And while it seems unlikely that The Witches of Eastwick will repeat the preposterous, money-spinning success of Cats, Phantom and Les Miserables, it is a genuinely likeable and witty show that sends you out into the night with a spring in your step and a smile on your face.

 The Witches of Eastwick - John Williams
The opening cue, The Township of Eastwick features an almost Joe Dante/Jerry Goldsmith style suburban version of the main theme performed with twinkling celeste and flute, then with a kind of hoe-down string backing coming in over the top.
On a side note, the way the score opens with a small whoosh as the clouds part as we get an aerial shot of the town is very clever indeed and works perfectly.
The Dance of the Witches is the stand alone concert piece (essentially the end credits) and is featured as the second album track as well as at the end (possible overkill, but it actually sets the score up quite effectively).
