Students at The Grange School in Hartford are making final preparations for their upcoming production of a musical based on the Patrick Swayze movie Ghost.
They will take to the stage for a special production of Ghost The Musical, which runs at The Grange Theatre from Wednesday 25th – Saturday 28th January (7pm each night) with a matinee performance (1.30pm) on Saturday 28th January.
Based on the Oscar-winning film which starred Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg – featuring the iconic song Unchained Melody – Ghost The Musical was adapted for the stage by the film’s original award-winning screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin.
It features music and lyrics by pop legend Dave Stewart together with Glen Ballard and tells the story of 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 psychic – Oda Mae Brown – who helps him protect Molly and avenge his death.
Paul Edwards, manager of The Grange Theatre, said: “Ghost The Musical features elements of comedy, suspense, and deeply-felt emotion – all of which blend to an ethereal climax that audiences will never forget.
“We are very much looking forward to the students bringing the show to the stage, they have all worked so hard and it’s going to be a show not to be missed.”
