I just googled info about the new Bill Kenwright UK touring version of Ghost the Musical. It looks like it is a completely new version of the show based on the American Fulton Theatre version  here is a preview version. 

www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAukJslqlmg.  

From the video this version looks a bit more like a very good amateur theatre production than the last West End production and  the last UK touring production.

It's Bill Kenwright so expect it to be scaled wayyyy back from other productions! 

I did suggest that the lead may actually just have a sheet over them with two eyeholes cut out.

So in this new Fulton Theatre production there will be no special effects no big production numbers and a smaller cast where most of the actors double up in other roles and a smaller non fancy set. They have even re-jigged the music and have made this now version so they can sell the show to schools and amuture theatre.  So there are now 2 version of Ghost the musical. I read the review of the new version on this site.

just thought that I would let the fans of the West End and first UK touring version that this new version is different. So don't expect ghost version on the new tour.

It looks terrible; really unprofessional. I won't use the word 'amateur', as some of the best theatre I've seen is on the amateur stage. 

One of the best aspects of the original production was the spectacular stage effects.

Whoah! Sarah Harding has been announced for the role of Molly. Did not see that coming.

She is my third favourite member of Girls Aloud so I'm pleasantly surprised.

Sarah Harding cannot act or sing that well.. Stunt casting that will close the tour.

I've seen her live maybe 7 or 8 times and I strongly disagree.
