Portsmouth Abbey School is proud to present Ghost the Musical. This new, award-winning musical features an original pop score from multiple Grammy Award-winners Dave Stewart (one half of the '80s pop duo, the Eurythmics) and Glen Ballard. It is adapted from the 1990 hit film, "Ghost," starring Patrick Swayze, by its Academy Award-winning screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin.
Ghost follows Sam and Molly, a young couple whose connection takes a shocking turn after Sam's untimely death. Trapped between two worlds, Sam refuses to leave Molly when he learns she is in grave danger. Desperate to communicate with her, he turns to a storefront psychic who helps him protect Molly and avenge his death.
With a professional orchestra, including several musicians from the Rhode Island Philharmonic, the talented Portsmouth Abbey students (cast and crew) have created a vibrant and moving production. Please be advised that the musical contains mild violence and mature language.
Ghost will be presented in the Portsmouth Abbey School auditorium this Saturday, February 21, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, February 22, at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and children under 12, and can be purchased at the door. There will be a bake sale during intermission with homemade desserts, popcorn and drinks.
Portsmouth Abbey School is located at 285 Cory's Lane in Portsmouth. For additional information, please contact Jay Bragan (Head of Performing Arts) at 643-1218.
