The musical is under the direction of the same creative team that brought VWCT Mamma Mia in 2022: Director Chad Kraner, Music Director Dee Fisher and Choreographer Kim Pollock. More than 30 cast members and crew have been busy preparing for the opening show.  

Adapted from the hit film by its Academy Award-winning screenwriter, Bruce Joel Rubin, Ghost, the Musical follows Sam and Molly, a young couple whose connection takes a shocking turn after Sam’s untimely death. The bond of love transcends the boundaries of life itself to grow stronger and more fully realized. 

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 medium, Oda Mae Brown, who helps him protect Molly and avenge his death. 

Ghost, the Musical is a poignant romance that builds comedy, suspense, and deeply felt emotion to an ethereal climax that audiences will never forget.
