Theatre Review: Ghost - The Musical

Image Source: ATG
Written By: Mark Armstrong

Format: Musical
Genre: Romantic Thriller
Date: April 10 2017
Location: Liverpool Empire Theatre, Liverpool, England

If you have ever seen the movie Ghost, you will know what to expect from the theatre version of the popular film, which recently came to Liverpool Empire Theatre. If you are unfamiliar with the movie and you are coming to the show with a fresh set of eyes, so to speak, then you may be in for a surprise, in more ways than one.

Ghost tells the story of a budding romantic couple, Sam Wheat (Andy Moss) and Molly Jensen (Carolyn Maitland), whose love for one another is known by others, in particular Sam's friend and work colleague Carl Bruner (Sam Ferriday), who is made aware that Sam has discovered bizarrely large amounts of money in various obscure bank accounts. The happy and slightly corny situation is turned on its head when a mugger shoots Sam dead, with Molly understandably devastated. However, Sam, now a ghost, is still able to see what is going on and how people are reacting to the murder, but as he is now a spirit, he can do nothing about it.
