WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Starring 2009 Tony Award-winner for Best Featured actress in a play, Angela Lansbury!
What happens when his once-beloved won't take "til death do us part" for an answer? What happens when his new wife finds out they're not alone anymore? Can anyone conjure up a solution?
Angela Lansbury returns to Broadway in the revival of Noel Coward's classic 1941 farce Blithe Spirit, about a successful novelist haunted by his biggest fan -- his deceased first wife.
The production also stars Rupert Everett, Christine Ebersole, and Jayne Atkinson. Michael Blakemore directs.

Blithe Spirit
Well, I went because of Angela -- who didnt disappoint, how could she -- but left the theatre filled with gratitude for the amazing supporting cast. What a wonderful show! Rupert and Christine are perfect, as is Jayne, albiet less showy. I am so happy to have seen this!

There are abundant reasons for racing to top-drawer director Michael Blakemore's just-about-perfect revival of Noel Coward's 1941 boulevard-comedy trifle Blithe Spirit, now at Broadway's Shubert Theatre, but the chief attraction is definitely Angela Lansbury's side-splitting performance as the zany medium Madame Arcati.
Arcati arrives at the invitation of English author Charles Condomine (Rupert Everett), who is doing research for a new book. But he and his sensible second wife Ruth (Jayne Atkinson) are tested to the end of their short tethers when his deceased first wife Elvira (Christine Ebersole) returns home as the result of a volatile séance conducted by Arcati.
