If you enjoy the flavor of an intelligently written literary work translated skillfully into a stage musical, like The Secret Garden or more recently The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, iGhost will simultaneously stimulate your mind and tug at your heart, especially if you're a hopeless romantic.This production now onstage @ the Lyric Theatre in Hollywood is not without flaws, but is certainly engaging with some beautifully written tunes and a mostly outstanding cast.
Doug Haverty and Adryan Russ are getting ready to open their latest musical, iGhost, May 20th at the Lyric Theare in Los Angeles. Here they talk about what it's like to be longtime collaborators.
