by Courtnie Mele - Mar 8, 2014


Bruce Joel Rubin wrote Ghost almost 25 years ago. Since then, it has been adapted as a musical with the help of Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard, who worked on the music and lyrics. When Ghost hit the silver screen back in 1990, Rubin never thought it would stand the test of time, let alone become a musical. Because of its unexpected success, Rubin has a few words he wanted to share.

BWW Reviews: GHOST: THE MUSICAL is Dead on Arrival
by David Clarke - Feb 19, 2014


When GHOST: THE MUSICAL opened on Broadway it was met by a bevy of critical slams and was plagued by technical issues that would stall the production. Now, the troubled movie turned musical turned theme-park ride is limping, zombie-like, across the nation in a Non-Equity National Tour. Luckily, the production is employing a handful of theatre professionals. In many ways, that is this overblown clunker of a show's only saving grace.

BWW Reviews: Il fantasma del Brancaccio: GHOST arriva a Roma!
by Nino Prattico - Jan 29, 2014


Non si puo dire che la stagione teatrale 2013-2014 non abbia una curiosa attrazione per il "paranormale". Dopo L'ULTIMA STREGA, il delizioso FANTASMI A ROMA e l'esilarante FRANKENSTEIN JUNIOR, le scene romane tornano a essere infestate da presenze ectoplasmatiche con un altro musical la cui trama prende le mosse dal confine tra l'aldiqua e l'aldila. Sto parlando di GHOST, l'ultimo sforzo produttivo di M.A.S. e Poltronissima S.r.l., gia reduci dai fasti di PRISCILLA, LA REGINA DEL DESERTO. Lo spettacolo, diretto da Stefano Genovese (gia regista di GYPSY, AVENUE Q e THE MISSION) e basato sull'omonimo successo cinematografico del 1990, si avvale delle musiche di Dave Stewart (ex membro degli Eurythmics) e Glen Ballard e del libretto firmato da Bruce Joel Rubin. Dopo il debutto londinese nel 2011, lo show si e trasferito a Broadway nel 2012 ricevendo, in entrambi i casi, una tiepida accoglienza. La critica newyorkese, con cui mi trovo d'accordo, lo ha definito un "giretto canoro e privo di emozioni in un parco a tema" che "fa per lo piu affidamento su scenografie video elaborate, modesti effetti speciali e la familiarita della storia d'amore fantasmatica." Altri hanno rincarato la dose affermando che "senza questi trucchi sbalorditivi, lo show non offrirebbe niente di che": lo script toppa, le musiche sono "innocue e dimenticabili" e alcuni numeri sembrano essere motivati solo dall'effetto visivo che provocano e non dal loro essere strettamente necessari all'economia dello spettacolo. È anche vero che, purtroppo, in Italia si ragiona secondo parametri ancora totalmente diversi - se non opposti - rispetto a quelli di Broadway. Pertanto, nella stesura della recensione, mi limitero a commentare la messinscena italiana senza far riferimento alle fallacie strutturali che questo spettacolo presentava gia a monte.

BWW Reviews: Give Up this GHOST
by Misha Davenport - Jan 14, 2014


Shows like 'Ghost: The Musical' are the reason I have nightmares about punctuality (specifically colons when they precede'The Musical'). There are perhaps no two words that strike fear in the heart of theater critics quite like 'The Musical.'
