The Academy Award nominated classic starring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze has been adapted for the stage by original screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin, along with Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics and Glen Ballard, known for his writing on Michael Jackson’s ‘Man in the Mirror’ and Alanis Morissette’s ‘Jagged Little Pill’.

Ghost: The Musical promises frights and illusions on the stage without the need for studio trickery. Possessions and poltergeists and, of course, the pottery wheel that continues to inspire parodies and homages to this day.

The performance also features the unforgettable ‘Unchained Melody’, that so beautifully set the scene we all know and love.

It even spawned a Japanese remake, and made an appearance in a segment of Korean reality show, ‘Running Man’.
