Ghost the Musical Confirms Broadway Opening
 |
Ghost the Musical has confirmed that a Broadway production will open on 23rd April 2012 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, with preview performances beginning in March. The show opened at the West End’s Piccadilly Theatre in July 2011 with a cast including former Coronation Street star Richard Fleeshman as ‘Sam’ (the role made famous by Patrick Swayze on screen) and Canadian-born actress Caissie Levy as his fiancée ‘Molly’. The UK creative team, led by director Matthew Warchus, will oversee the New York venture. Casting will be announced in the near future. |
A Timeless Love Story on StageGhost became one of the highest grossing Hollywood films ever after its release in 1990. Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore took the leading roles as a New York couple whose lives were torn apart by a deadly criminal scheme. Whoopi Goldberg won an Oscar for her supporting performance as the eccentric psychic ‘Oda Mae Brown’. The picture is best known for its iconic love scene with Swayze and Moore sat at a potter’s wheel accompanied by the Righteous Brother’s Unchained Melody. The musical recreates the timeless story on stage with remarkable special effects created by the show’s design team and the professional stage illusionist Paul Kieve. Ghost the Musical is currently booking until Saturday 28th January 2012 at the Piccadilly Theatre. |
