I loved the original production of GHOST. For those who have seen this show, does it have a similar vibe? yes very similar to the original production. It reminded me of Ghost at several points |

I’m glad this is coming back as I enjoyed it in Chester, and wouldn’t mind seeing if it’s been changed much/at all, but not at those prices. Paid £29.50 in Chester for front row and it’s over three times that at the Apollo.

I'm getting fed up with these ludicrous prices. Again, will wait in hope for offers.

I hated GHOST unfortunately - I just thought it was terrible on almost every level.
I am interested in this though because of the novel. Am I going to hate it? What is the score like?

Dave Stewart did Ghost and this... which isn't a good sign. Also Joss Stone... is she well known for musical theatre writing chops?

I loved the original West End production. The tour - a shambles... The first tour was ok. The bulk of the effects made it unscathed. It was the second tour that really sucked. |

Joanna Woodward is the main reason for seeing this and I can’t wait for her to get the starring role she deserves after so many great performances as an understudy in Beautiful and Pretty Woman. I first saw her in The Life at Southwark Playhouse in 2017 as the ingenue and I knew that one day she would get to originate the leading role in a big musical. I just didn’t think it would take 6 years!! I’m happy to pay what it takes to see her finally become a West End star.

Joanna was incredible in The Life; first came across her as a vocalist in The Hurly Burly Show - she was the best thing about it. She's had a lot of personal stuff go on with her one of her daughters and so happy that she's has this chance to be in the spotlight - truly deserving. |

Dave Stewart and Joss Stone on The One Show talking about the musical. Unfortunately they didn't sell it well as both are quite rubbish at being interviewed.

Noticed £35 front row tickets on sale. Intrigued to find out just how high this stage is… I sat there several times for ... Jamie as the front row was priced £20 then. It is one of the highest stages in the West End so probably not for the vertically challenged, but considering the second row is priced up to £95 it's good value and - as with Jamie - those seats will sell quickly. I've booked a Saturday evening in December so thanks very much for the tip off ! |

I won lottery 3 times when Jamie was there, it’s a high stage but as long as you are central than grand, just don’t select if they are to near the aisle as the leg room is tight!! |

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that previews for this started on the 7th October.
Has anyone seen it? Good? Bad? Other?

Picture the poor cousin of Ghost meets Back to the Future - without the heart or entertainment value.
It’s repetitive, boring and horribly schmaltzy. The target audience seem to be young ladies who were balling their eyes out at the prospect of losing their one true love. It’s that painful at times. With hardly any sort of actual plot.
Some things should not be brought to the stage.
Time Travellers Wife is one.
If you do enjoy self harm … be sure not to book closer than Row F. The stage is insanely high. First row is Row B … they are effectively looking straight at a solid wall being the stage.

why see a musical with Joss Stone as the songwriter? Can't stand her music.
