Ghost The Musical ( Piccadilly Theatre ) - Musical

The dazzling new musical GHOST, based on the phenomenal Oscar winning Paramount Pictures film, which starred Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg, opens at the Piccadilly Theatre on 22 June 2011. GHOST is a timeless fantasy about the power of love. Sam is trapped as a ghost between this world and the next trying to communicate with girlfriend Molly through a phoney psychic, in the hope of saving her from his murderer. GHOST features stunning new music and lyrics by Grammy Award-winning legends Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) and Glen Ballard (writer of Michael Jackson's Man In The Mirror), and also includes the unforgettable 'Unchained Melody'. Directed by the multi-award-winning Matthew Warchus, designed by Rob Howell, with stage effects by Paul Kieve (illusionist for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) and choreography by Ashley Wallen, who has worked with Kylie Minogue, Will Young and Mariah Carey, GHOST promises to be a magical night out that will send spirits soaring.

One of London's larger theatres, the Piccadilly has been the home of several West End firsts: Henry Fonda made his stage debut here and, in its incarnation as a cinema, it premiered the first talking picture to be shown in Britain, Al Jolson's The Singing Fool. From Sir Ian McKellen to Dame Edna, many famous faces have performed here over the years giving this theatre a reputation that hopefully will not be tarnished by its recent hop on the back-catalogue bandwagon with Jailhouse Rock.
