WOS TV: Up Close With … Ghost the Musical‘s Richard Fleeshman
Screen-to-stage blockbuster Ghost The Musical opens at the West End’s Piccadilly Theatre tomorrow night (19 July 2011, previews from 24 June).
Screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin has adapted his Oscar-winning 1990 screenplay for the show’s book, while music and lyrics are by the Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart and Grammy Award winner Glen Ballard.
The production, which comes to London following a seven-week tryout in Manchester, is directed by Matthew Warchus. It also stars Sharon D Clark as phoney psychic Oda Mae, the role for which Whoopi Goldberg won an Academy Award.
