Atlantis Productions and Ten Bridges Media Corp. bring “Ghost The Musical” to Manila from April 25 to May 11, 2014, at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Makati.
The musical features an original pop score from multiple Grammy Award winners Dave Stewart (one half of the ’80s pop duo the Eurythmics) and Glen Ballard (cowriter with Alanis Morissette on the multi-platinum album “Jagged Little Pill,” among many other notable credits and collaborations).
It is adapted from the hit film by its Academy Award-winning screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin (“Ghost,” “Jacob’s Ladder,” “The Time Traveler’s Wife”). “Ghost The Musical” follows Sam and Molly, a young couple whose connection takes a shocking turn after Sam’s untimely death. Trapped between two worlds, Sam refuses to leave Molly when he learns she is in grave danger. Desperate to communicate with her, he turns to a storefront psychic who helps him protect Molly and avenge his death.
