Recently Updated

"Ghost" is a musical based on the 1990 romantic fantasy thriller film of the same name. The book and lyrics are by Bruce Joel Rubin, who also wrote the screenplay for the film, and the music and lyrics are by Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard.

The story follows Sam and Molly, a couple deeply in love, who are torn apart when Sam is murdered. However, Sam becomes trapped between the living world and the afterlife and discovers that Molly is in danger. With the help of a psychic, Sam tries to communicate with Molly and protect her from danger while also uncovering the truth behind his murder.

The musical features a mix of ballads and up-tempo numbers, including "Here Right Now," "Unchained Melody," and "With You." The original West End production opened at the Piccadilly Theatre in London in 2011 and later transferred to Broadway in 2012. The show was praised for its special effects, particularly the use of video projections to depict Sam's ghostly presence.

Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, "Ghost" ran for over a year on Broadway and had successful productions in the UK, Korea, and Italy. The show's popularity also led to a national tour in the US.
