Opening at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre on 22nd August 2024, the musical is written by multi Brit Award winner Dave Stewart and Grammy Award winning Glen Ballard, with a script by Bruce Joel Rubin.

It’s said that the show brings all the romance and magic of the classic story to life on stage, with casting to be announced soon.

Ghost the film starred the late Patrick Swayze alongside Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg (who won the Oscar for Supporting Actress). The film dominated the box office in 1990 and earned an Oscar for screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin, who has adapted his screenplay into a musical. 

As expected, the show features The Righteous Brothers’ Unchained Melody alongside many more songs that have been co-written by Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart.
