About the show

GHOST is London’s newest musical and is already captivating audiences at the Piccadilly Theatre. Based on the 1990 Academy Award Winning Film of the same name, GHOST the musical features a haunting new score by Bruce Joel Rubin and direction by the internationally renowned Matthew Warchus. The timeless fantasy story concerns soul mates Sam and Molly who are forced to face life apart after Sam is murdered. Trapped between this world and the next, Sam’s ghost attempts to communicate with Molly to protect her, aided by a phony psychic Oda Mae Brown. This British born musical had its premiere at the Manchester Opera House in March 2011 before transferring to London in June of the same year, where it has been playing to consistently packed houses. The musical opened on Broadway late 2011, and despite mixed to negative reviews, managed to run for a number of months, starring the original stars of the production Cassie Levy and Richard Fleeshman. Critics did praise the impressive set designs by Rob Howell, including a number of special effects that had audiences gripped to the edge of their seat. Dave Stewart and Glenn Ballard's eclectic score pays homage to both the pop and rock traditions, and feels more like a concept album than a traditional musical. Show stopping numbers are however provided by the character of Oda Mae Brown, the fake psychic who provides most of the show's humour. The musical is sadly closing in London after an impressive 16 month run, so you haven't got long to catch this fantastic production!
