High Spirits presents a one-night concert celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Tony-nominated musical inspired by Noël Coward's Blithe Spirit. Starring two-time Tony Award winner Judy Kaye as Madame Arcati, alongside Christine Andreas as Elvira and Walter Willison as Charles, this immersive staging offers a blend of comedy and mysticism. The story follows novelist Charles Condomine, who inadvertently invites chaos when the ghost of his first wife, Elvira, returns during a séance. With music by Hugh Martin and Timothy Gray, the concert features popular songs like "You’d Better Love Me (While You May)."
