“Oh my love, my darling … I’ve hungered for your touch …”
Bill Kenwright’s ‘Beautiful’ and ‘Spectacular’ production of Ghost – The Musical returns to Liverpool next week, following a spectacular international tour in Dubai, Istanbul and Trieste. The 2019 UK tour plays at Liverpool’s Empire Theatre from Tuesday April 23 to Saturday April 27.
Bill Kenwright commented: “Ghost is a story full of hope and is one of those films which never leaves you. The book by Bruce Joel Rubin and score by Dave Stewart and Glenn Ballad come together wonderfully.”
Bruce Joel Rubin added: “This is a show with such a strong emotional and musical life that it can mould to many visions and interpretations. It can be performed on any scale, and its vibrant heart will still captivate an audience and allows the imagination to flourish. It is purely theatrical in the greatest sense.”
Walking back to their apartment late one night, a tragic encounter sees Sam murdered and his beloved wife Molly alone, in despair and utterly lost. But with the help of a phony storefront psychic Sam, trapped between this world and the next, tries to communicate with Molly in the hope of saving her from grave danger.
The movie Ghost has proven to be one of cinema’s biggest all-time hits. Starring the late Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg, it was the highest-grossing film of 1990 and won an Oscar for screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin who has adapted his screenplay for this musical. The movie and the musical feature The Righteous Brothers’ Unchained Melody, alongside many more terrific songs co-written by The Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart.
