More Than a GHOST of a Chance
GHOST, the musical, stands more than a ghost of a chance to walk away with a number of Tony awards. It is a production well done, very enjoyable, entertaining, musically and visually impressive. Like many of its kind, we know the story, GHOST, the musical, sticks to the original movie script, more or less. That made me think, more than I would like to, more distractingly than I'd prefer, "Let's see how they're going to pull this off," or "pull that off." It's the nature of this beast. However, it was beautifully accomplished by the cast, technology, the writers, creative teams, musical score. I enjoyed the scoring, unlike many, a song thrown in here and a song thrown in there, the music carries the production through its various parts exceedingly well. For me, however, it was not the music or talented performers or tremendous cast, but the director, Matthew Warchus. He handled this complicated production flawlessly. Couldn't help being amazed at his ability to hold all the pieces together, but most amazingly, for me, was Warchus' use of space, architecture. It is rare to find a director who uses space with such flexibility, such effectiveness, such efficiency. Would I recommend GHOST, the musical, definitely, it's a musical, fun, entertaining, it's a must see! However, after experiencing this highly technological production, I am forced to wonder, does the less technological theater stand a ghost of a chance.
