"GHOST"

Back to Show Information.

Just thought I would say we saw 'Ghost' this afternoon (25th June 2011). I don’t want to say too much about the show itself in case you haven’t seen it yet - being only 3 shows in in London by now!

I don’t often get effusive about a show or come away from a musical thinking I must see that again, but with the exception of one number this show is excellent.

More often than not I watch a show like a detached observer, but right from the opening this show really sucks you in. We left exhausted and emotionally drained (and I’m not an emotional person either). The ensemble has been well used in a way that tends to keep one focussed on the main characters, who are wonderful. In particular Caissie Levy’s rendition of “with you” – Even I felt a certain moistness around the eyes. It must be something of a change for Richard Fleeshman to go from being “Warner” to “Sam”!

What’s the exception? A Vaudeville/tap number ”Ball of Wax” – there are plenty of comments on the internet about it from Manchester – it’s still in the show – dropping it would mean a character losing half his numbers I guess. Standing alone it’s a good number and I think I can see what they are trying to convey with it but it really does feel out of place and IMHO should be dropped.

Seats were stalls J20 and 21. Very good seats with one reservation especially if these are bought at 'Premium' price (we didn’t pay this, luckily). Generally this or a row or two back are my ideal position because I like to take in as much of the stage as possible, but in this case, as I have said, one gets drawn into the story so much and you focus on the main characters so much that I felt it might be good to be a little further forward. One tip – in some scenes there is a sofa stage right / centre right that blocks one’s view of part of the back of the stage if you’re sitting left of centre in the stalls. A small amount of action happens there and given a choice perhaps sit right of centre rather than left. I am being picky here but if someone is going to pay premier price why not?

See what you think when you go.

4 out 5 (5 out of 5 if they drop “Ball of Wax”).

This is the first of the recent spate of film to stage musicals where I've know the film quite well. I had never seen 'Legally Blonde' or 'Sister Act' on film.

Firstly, lets deal with the score. Mostly unmemorable, apart from the odd singing of 'Unchained Melody,' which I think could have been better used. The show takes a bit of time to get going and it's not until Sharon D Clarke bursts onto the stage as Oda Mae Brown that it really takes off. But still, it was waiting to see how they played out the scenes from the film that became quite boring... then being mainly disappointed at the result.

The set was very high tec, which was often distracting. The special effects were very good, but they don't really make the show. So all in all quite a disappointing evening - but to be fair the rest of the audience seemed to really enjoy it, so I guess it was just not my cup of tea. If I had to give it a score I would say D+ for effort.

We went to a preview of ‘Ghost – the Musical’ on Monday 4th July 2011, and here’s our thoughts on this new show:

A great night out! A show that has it all; thrills, romance, emotion, and comedy. We thought the main strengths would be the cast, but there was also the remarkable staging, the music and the outstanding visual effects.

The cast were superb with Richard Fleeshman's voice simply amazing. Fleeshman and Caissie Levy make the perfect pairing, but the outstanding performance must go to Sharon D. Clarke – whenever she was on the stage she totally dominated it and there was an extra charge of excitement and enjoyment from the audience. We thought it would be difficult to find someone to equal the Patrick Swayze part but almost forgot that someone had to be found to take on the great Whoopi Goldberg film performance. Both have succeeded and in some ways surpassed their predecessors.

The music complimented the visual elements of the show; very electronic which gave it a very contemporary feel.

If there are any negatives then in some parts the music was so loud that it was difficult to hear the lyrics especially when Caissie Levy was singing. The famous ‘Potters Wheel’ scene was no big deal (as it was in the film) and hardly seemed worth bothering with.

In fact it was a good all round show; the use of the electronic screens were well executed, making the action feel modern and thrilling (especially on the train!). The visual effects were literally breathtaking as we heard several grasps from the audience as well as sobbing later in the show during some very poignant moments.

The show is a great addition to the West End.

6th of July 2011.

First the negatives. At £7 for a programme it was 'No thank you!' and £3.50 for an ice cream makes it the most expensive ice cream I have ever had in a London theatre.

I haven't seen the film and as it started I found myself thinking that I don't think I am going to enjoy this. We sat in row P seats 21 and 22 which were left of centre. plenty of leg room but the seat tilted forward and could have been more comfortable and you are conscious of the circle overhanging although it did not obscure any action on stage. I did think that at times the orchestra was playing too loudly and even though Caissie Levy as Molly was belting out the songs I couldn't actually hear the words much of the time. I felt it was rather disjointed at the start but then Sharon Clarke as the Medium Mama Oda came on and the whole evening lit up for me. She is just fantastic and adds very welcome humour. The illusions are very well done and I agree that sitting nearer to the stage would be good for this show to study them more closely.

The audiences spontaneous reaction with a full house standing ovation at the end spoke volumes and far from wondering at the beginning whether I was going to look forward to seeing this show again when I take coaches to see it in October and November, I most certainly am looking forward to it. I just hope they bring the volume down a bit so we can hear the words of the songs.

Ghost the musical is ghostastic. It is one of the best musicals I have seen in a long time. At the end it got a standing ovation from the whole of the audience. The musical is based on the film 'Ghost.' The set/scenery was amazing with moving motion pictures, the lighting and the props. Without giving too much away, some scenes were a bit like magic - SPOILER ALERT like when Richard swiped his hand straight through a Coke can and disappeared like a ghost. SPOILER ENDS.

Richard Fleeshman was excellent at playing the character Sam, and when he got shot on stage it really did pull my heart strings - and many others'. Caissie Levy has a outstanding voce. The other cast were also excellent, for instance Sharon D Clarke - who played the Psychic Woman. She really was funny; she played the character so well that in my personal opinion she is even better than Whoopi Goldberg who played the psychic in the actual movie. Sharon made the scenes very entertaining and funny. Adebayo Bolaji who plays the subway ghost was amazing also, and his voice and acting reminded me a bit of Samuel L. Jackson. He was so much better than the original man (Vincent Schiavelli ) that played the subway ghost in the movie.

To sum the play up I would say it is a happy, emotional, funny and magical musical. Highly recommend. Totally worth the full price.
______________________________

Took a group to see Ghost on Tuesday 5th July 2011. We sat in Stalls rows L, M, N, O, P seats 4 to 11 on each row. Everyone said they had a good view of the stage and saw all the special effects. All had enough leg room and no one's view was restricted by someone tall impeding their view. The only criticism was that the theatre is very warm as no air-con and the seats were under padded and therefore quite uncomfortable.

Now to the show. Quite hard to take an iconic film and create a spell-binding musical, but this has been achieved - and in bucket loads. The script is well paced. The special effects are extremely clever. It has enough humour to break up the heart wrenching moments. The music is very good. Casting is well done and acting is very believable. Some excellent stand out moments that will ensure the show is remembered for a long, long time. It certainly is a show that a lot of people have said they would definitely go back and see again.

I do agree with other reviewers that have said that the orchestra is too loud at times drowning out the singing, which is a shame because all the singers have excellent voices.

Highly recommended.

Gill Gill.

Seated in the Grand Circle E15 I was a little bit huffy, because nobody told me that there is a safety railing next beside me!
The railing was in my view but didn't bother me during the show. The sound was crystal clear and really loud. Sometimes quiet a bit to loud for my taste (and I love it loud). You won't miss any of those wonderful special effects they created for the show. It's a fair offer for a very good new show no one should miss.
_______________________________

I had my annual trip to London, and this time went to see 'Ghost The Musical' (30th July 2011, Afternoon performance). All I can say is 'OMG!!!'

First of all, the staging is amazing. It's almost like you are watching the movie, and the special effects leave you breathless!! I won't spoil it too much, but SPOILER ALERT he does walk through a door SPOILER ENDS. Sharon D Clarke was amazing - and what a voice this lady has. The two leads, Richard and Caissie, were just fantastic; and the rest of cast played so many parts it was unbelievable! It's not 'till the curtain call that you realise how small this cast is.

We sat in stalls row P seats 21 to 24 and, although the overhang from the dress circle is there, it does not spoil any of the show and you see everything. The leg room is amazing in this row as well.

The theatre was packed, and there was a lot of sniffles at the end (including me). I also loved the music and the songs, and still listen to the cast recording on the way to work and back LOL.

I cannot recommend this show enough and I hope it plays for a long long time. It also looks like they have sorted the sound level out that other reviewers have commented on, as you can now here the singing over the music. I was so surprised about how good a singing voice Richard has; and as for Caissie, well, she has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard.

I think I have now said enough - but please, please, please go and see this show!!

Oh, one more thing: the box office staff were so helpful and friendly it was beyond belief, and the theatre staff as well were fantastic and made the experience so much better.

We had a group visit this show recently which was, of course, much enjoyed, however some comments were passed to us about some Dress Circle seats.

We sat in Row A 1 and 2 and we’re surprised they aren’t rated as ‘obstructed view’ for this show. We couldn’t see the top of the fridge, where action takes place, and also couldn’t see clearly the flat door where an important illusion occurs. For this reason we think you should consider rating them red on your website.

Lordship Theatregoers.
_____________________________________

I took a punt on lastminute.com’s £25 Upper Circle lucky dip that was running at the time, and was rewarded with B24, which proved to be an excellent seat with unhindered sight lines, even when one of people directly in front of me started leaning forward towards the end of the show.

The production is very impressive, and all the scenic and technical effects are terrific, not to mention Paul Kieve’s unbelievable illusions. I have to confess that the songs for the two leads are absolutely not to my musical taste, especially for the girl, whose voice as amplified tonight (23rd August 2011) could cut an iron girder in half. If only they had just stuck to ‘Unchained Melody’ I would have been perfectly happy! I did however greatly like the songs for Oda Mae Brown and the train ghost’s rap!

Now to the disappointment, or was it? I refused to pay £7 for the only ‘programme’ on sale, and I didn’t notice any signs up in the foyer that any of the principals were off. But when Oda Mae Brown first appeared I thought to myself that she didn’t seem to be Sharon D Clarke. But as the performance went on, I was totally knocked out by her and she was so good that I assumed it must have been Sharon. But on the way out after the show I spotted a slip of paper on the floor and guess what it said? ‘At this performance the role of Oda Mae Brown will be played by Miss Lisa Divina Phillip and the role of Clara will be played by Miss Yemie Sonuga.’

So, to sum it all up, I think 'Ghost' is a highly successful and technically amazing transfer to the stage of a popular film which, for my personal taste, would have been better without most of the romantic ballads. The final scenes were particularly well staged and the audience seemed extremely happy at the end. I couldn’t see the stalls and circle, but the vertiginous upper circle was totally full.
________________________________________

Was keen to see this last minute, so not much of a choice with seats - good to see something selling reasonably well.

Rather than sitting at the rear of the stalls I opted for circle B1. Not a great seat, as the view was restricted and I couldn't see the action towards the back of the stage in some scenes.

There were some stunning effects, again I wasn't able to appreciate these fully because I was sitting too far to the side.

I do think this show could be tightened up, however I still loved it and the cast recording is playing daily in my car!!

Have booked centre near front stalls for return visit in December!!

I saw this production on Thursday 25th August 2011 at the matinee.
Seat: Upper circle. L14

Firstly the seat. I was really pleased with this seat (apart from it not having much padding and made my posterior numb!). A good view (you can just about pick out the actors’ facial expressions without a telescope!); obviously looking down greatly - with only very slight obscurities where the safety bars (which are split) infringe into the line of vision to the left - but this really does not cause much of a problem. Average leg room, being 6ft 3,” but much better being end of aisle. Thankfully the ‘lean-forwarders’ had either been Velcro-ed to their seats or warned they may be shot if they did engage in such SELFISH behaviour! However the ‘Minstrel / Malteser / Pringles brigade’ were out in force and appeared not to notice or care that their rustlings and chewings etc may actually be affecting other people’s enjoyment of the show. If I was a West End theatre manager I would place signs everywhere warning people not to lean forward and to eat all their junk food BEFORE the show or at the interval! As I was always a 'stalls only' person (I’m a mere Public Sector NHS nurse) before having to cut out/back/down-grade most things I enjoy doing that cost money (for obvious reasons), I hadn’t experienced the differing behaviours that occur in each area in the theatre…. Interesting!

Anyway, on to the show...
As always I had bought the cast CD and really enjoyed it. It takes quite a few listens to get into but is almost a pop album in itself being produced by Dave Stewart formally of the Eurythmics. One stuffy theatre critic (NOT the Monkey I hasten to add, his reviews are never in that category!) stated that there is not one memorable song in the show. I disagree totally. All the songs are musically contemporised and absolutely memorable; he must be suffering from Korsakoff’s disease from too much red wine before and during each show he reviews! Another part of my research was to watch the DVD again. I had seen it many years ago when in my late teens - with an ex girlfriend who now looks like Bella Emberg on a recent sighting (lucky escape I had there - no offence to Bella look-alikes – just not my type!) so needed to refresh my memory. The film version is obviously a classic and is very emotive.

I was very much looking forward to seeing Caissie Levy’s performance, as I had seen her in “Hair” last year (I hated that show with a passion, but that’s another story!) and thought she had a wonderful voice as is displayed on the cast CD. She did not disappoint, a truly wonderful voice and actor, she has the whole package. To her part as Molly she added warmth and sincerity. I would happily pay good money to see her sing as a solo performer.

The male lead, Richard Fleeshman did not hit the spot for me. I had seen him before as Warner in 'Legally Blonde' and was distinctly underwhelmed then. I don’t mean to sound mean, I’m just giving my opinion as a hard working punter who loves musical theatre with a passion and sacrifices time and money to do this. When I first listened to the cast CD I wasn’t impressed with his voice, and realised who it was on Googling. I don’t watch soaps so was not familiar with him in his previous roles. His portrayal of Sam lacked warmth for me and as he is not a natural singer his voice translates into a shout with a bit of a warble added to the end of a note. Although it does have a nice tone. His USA accent was good and he put his all into the job in hand. I can’t put my finger on it but I just didn’t care about his character, whereas in the film I did, so it’s not about the writing either. There is an arrogance in his portrayal of Sam whereas in Patrick Swazey’s this was not evident . Maybe it is because he is young and this part needs a slightly older guy, I don’t know. I wanted to connect with his character but couldn’t and I don’t think it was anything to do with being so far away from the stage either. I have to say that I can think of a load of West End actors who would be a dream in this part, but I guess the producers have to think of what will bring in the bucks instead of anything else.

The story is exactly as the film. No diversions or re-routing here, bang on the original, which isn’t a bad thing if the two main leads are of the calibre of Moore and Swazey. Of course the other major part goes to Oda Mae Brown. Now, you would think Whoopi couldn’t be beaten and she isn’t, but she is almost matched by the performance of Sharon D Clarke. Having seen her before in productions such as Lion King, Hairspray and Chicago I knew what to expect and she certainly didn’t disappoint. Outstanding voice and acting mixed with warmth and personality. The only thing I couldn’t quite grasp was why she was wearing white socks and men’s sandals to start with, very strange. It didn’t fit with the character as she is exuberant and almost manic and then onto yet more flat yet shiny shoes! I just thought she must have an injury and that’s the way they had written it in!

The Guy who played Carl was outstanding and he would be a far better Sam in my opinion. Amazing voice and great characterisation. Bravo to him!

Overall it’s a good show. Slightly over-hyped I would say, raising expectations to an impossibly high level which aren’t reached. Very good effects and staging with optical illusions in buckets. The stage is small however and it all does look a little crammed in. Some of the props / doors / scenery are a bit school play tacky, but this can be forgiven on the whole.

A fantastic orchestra and brilliant amplified surround sound. Not at all too loud as one reviewer said, just right for this type of play. Superb choreography and first class supporting cast. As I said, it’s the film on stage so if you didn’t like that then don’t go! It is emotive in parts and I had the odd full eye moment or two. That wasn’t due however to my connection with the relationship between Sam and Molly as I already explained. That was more related to my experience of loss in my own life, as I think those who were crying would agree with too.

It should do OK on Broadway I would imagine and will probably look better with a bigger stage.

I will be seeing this again, hopefully in the stalls when Get Into London Theatre comes round again and would recommend, but I do feel it could be better with the right male lead as it’s such a major part.

Ghost The Musical - O14-16 (Stalls) - 26th August 2011 - Evening.

This was a surprise birthday present from my two best friends. The seats were £65 each and the view was amazing. I felt as if the view I got was faultless and, from where we sat, we could see everything. This is the only theatre that I've been into that I can say the sound is 100% perfect and completely loud enough to fill the theatre. We were central in the stalls and I would say just behind mid way back and everything was perfect.

This now is my favourite show to date because Caissie (Levy) and Richard (Fleeshman) have such great chemistry that I have never seen anywhere before. Would DEFINITELY recommend this show!
______________________________________

Firstly, the seats (D17 and 18 in the stalls) were excellent – as you would expect for £65 each plus a £5 booking fee. At the time I went (2nd September 2011) there were no discounts whatsoever, yet the theatre seemed very full despite that.

I’m 6 foot 1 and I must say that the leg room was probably the best I’ve experienced in London this side of a box or aisle seat. It is helped too by the seats in front being staggered, meaning no interference with your view.

On the downside, the bars and toilets in the stalls area of the Piccadilly Theatre are very congested. Unusually, the queue for the gents was much longer than the ladies, prompted I suspect by the fact that the gents is both tiny and awkwardly laid out. The bar, even by West End standards, was expensive – over £11 for an alcoholic ginger beer and a G&T.

On to the show and I thoroughly enjoyed it, despite the lead actor being off ill. During the show I really enjoyed the much-criticised music, so much so that I ordered the CD of the cast recording online (for half the price the theatre was charging!). On listening to the CD, I think the music lost some of its lustre and I’d suggest that the music is certainly best enjoyed in the context of the show.

On other aspects of the show, the acting was OK, but I think the staging and the special effects surpass anything else I’ve seen in the West End, good enough to raise the show well above the ordinary it could have been.

One other point - It took us over 20 minutes to leave the theatre because everyone in the stalls was inexplicably made to file out through a narrow and poorly lit alleyway – not a nice end to a night at the theatre.
________________________________________

My £20-off a second top price seat for ‘Ghost’ tonight (13th September 2011) from Lastminute.com (price £35 - offer now expired) was meant to be L26 in the back row of the dress circle (a red one on your seating plan) but, without my saying a word, the friendly man in the Piccadilly Theatre box office swapped it for H20 in the stalls, which is green one! The seat was in fact perfect. On second viewing I still didn’t like most of the music, or the singing of the leading lady, but I was even more impressed by the production than when I saw it from the second row of the upper circle, and I did get to see Sharon D. Clarke, who was superb, but in all fairness I have to say that the cover that I saw on my previous visit was actually funnier in the scene at the bank, and yielded little to Sharon D in the singing.

As before, I found the final scene riveting in its brilliant staging, jaw-dropping illusions and the apotheosis of the love between the two young people. The theatre looked fairly full, but presumably something had happened with some of the central stalls seats for me to land H20. There were several empty seats in G row as well and I happened to notice that the two young people directly in front of me had tickets that said ‘Something Circle’ but as the Piccadilly uses ‘Royal’ and ‘Grand’ instead of ‘Dress’ and ‘Upper’ I didn’t quite catch which one it was, but I assume they were put where they sitting by the theatre staff because nobody came to turf them out!
________________________________________

I saw 'Ghost' at the Piccadilly in September 2011, and sat on the Grand Circle, L22. For this production (which I thought was very strong), which is filled with projections, this offers a really great view of the stage action. None of the illusions (except some in the subway sequences) were obstructed or lacklustre on this level, and the strength in the physical movement of the actors and scenery is all clearly viewable. Plenty of legroom for the 6-ft tall fellow. I find that there is zero reason for anyone to be leaning on the Grand Circle for a better view (which always hurts the view of those behind), so do not be afraid to tell someone to sit back, as they'll actually get a better view if they sit up straight! The rake is perfect!
________________________________________

Thursday 20th October 2011: 2.30pm.

"WOW!" That is the first word I can think of to describe 'Ghost.' I went to the box office on Thursday morning as a day-seater and was the first person there when the box office opened. The days eat policy appears to be, 'whatever are unsold seats;' and, lucky me, I was able to purchase C14 of the stalls for £25! I couldn't believe my luck, right bang in the middle! The rake meant that I had a great view. My row seemed to be about level with the stage, so I was able to see clearly with no annoying large heads in the way.

When the show started, I was wondering what was going on as the video projections made me wonder if we were all just about to watch the film. However the screen lifted and I was soon mesmerised by Caissie Levy belting out 'Here Right Now.' Her chemistry with Richard Fleeshman was amazing, they worked so well together I could see them as a real couple in Brooklyn. Richard has a good voice as Sam and acts it well though some of his facial expressions were a little off putting and a touch over acted.

I had Paul Ayres on as Carl Bruner, instead of Andrew Langtree. He really was very good at playing the double crossing 'snake in the grass.' He seemed to work really well with everyone and I totally believed in his portrayal. Jaygann Ayeh was another understudy I had on as the Subway Ghost, and he really frightened me as he was so crazy. But I think the show really belongs to Sharon D. Clarke. In the role of Oda Mae Brown, she is hilarious yet touching and she just owns the stage, i couldn't keep my eyes off her. I'm so pleased she gets to go to Broadway and do the role. The Americans won't know what's hit them!

Some people have mentioned a song called 'Ball of Wax' and how inappropriate the song is in the show. As a song on its own it is quite enjoyable, but at that point in the show it is totally out of place. You have this really dramatic point in the story and the tension is high. It either doesn't need a song there - or the song should be a lot more downbeat. It just seemed really cheesy and stupid. I have a feeling the Americans will probably cut that out of their version.

All the ensemble are incredible, they seem like such a tightly knit bunch working together, ad-libbing in the background. The dancing is incredible. From my seat the special effects were truly magical, I cannot work any of them out. The set was also really impressive and made me wonder how big the stage actually is. When 'Grease' was there I always thought of it as a small theatre but not now. The posters outside the theatre all say 'Believe,' and I really do. Will deffo be returning to this show in the future. It deserves to run and run with a cast as strong as this. Everyone was on their feet at the curtain call and lots of people, myself included, were in floods of tears.
____________________________________________

Tuesday 15th November 2011, 7.30pm performance.

Will admit to not being keen into being taken to this one, but enjoyed the show very much – even shed a tear now and then… “Ditto”… It has made the transition from celluloid to stage very well, remaining faithful to the original, whilst adding new elements to the tale. The music was a mix of the very good, through to being serviceable in places and even downright awful… “Ball of Wax” I’m talking about you. In fact “Ball of Wax” is the worst, most-mistimed of and jarringly awful songs I think I’ve ever witnessed. Taking place in a hospital as our hero gets used to being a ghost, it serves as introducing Sam to the “spirit-world” but detracts any emotion from events that had just taken place. A hard one to judge – there must be better ways of doing it, a tap dance for goodness sake - but I think they’ve got that part very, very wrong.

The rest of the show, however, was marvellous. The illusions were very cleverly staged – disappearing and walking through doors - the underground train set-pieces were very clever. In fact, the simplest illusion was the best where Molly finally realizes Sam is a there: in the movie it was the dime up the door, here it’s different, but I’m not going to spoil the surprise! The set was great – however, the over reliance on projected images at the sides and rear of the stage was more than a little off-putting, but a blind eye could be turned to it due to the phenomenal 4 actors (esp Sharon D Clarke) in the lead roles. The ensemble were great, although there was an over reliance on peculiar dance movements that were frustrating at times..!

Sat in the Grand Circle in seat D8 and had a fantastic view of the stage, the rake enables you to see over the heads of those in front – and Row D and E are probably the best of the bunch in the Upper Circle. They actually feel close to the stage, but you are obviously looking down on the stage. The brilliant illusions loose none of their effect from this view and facial expressions can be made out from here. I do feel, however, that £45.00 is rather a little greedy in the pricing.

Overall – worth a punt. If you liked the film, you’ll like this.

Paul.
