Trailer Trash: Ghost, the Musical
12.2.2011

There was a time when Patrick Swayze was a grade-A hottie, Demi Moore hadn't yet heard of Ashton Kutcher, and Whoopi Goldberg rocked (oh, that's right, she still does). Those days were special, because it was the nineties and the Internet was still in its infantile stages and therefore people had to make up original stories and show them to people in these things called movies. Now, we look to that magical time and blatantly rip off those stories and then make them into mediocre Broadway musicals. Yay for America! The next movie that is going to be masticated and then regurgitated onto a stage near you is the 1990 classic Ghost. This gives us a case of the sads, because we like that movie for being romantic, suspenseful, and funny—the stage show promises to be just funny, and not on purpose. We also appreciate any movie where people have lofts in Soho, computers were still just confusing machines with glowing green text on a black background, and Whoopi wins an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for a comedic performance. Below is the trailer for Ghost: The Musical. Out editors, start your snarking!

Everybody I know who has seen it in London, many of them disbelievers like yourselves before going in, have come away raving, with some of them saying it's one of the best, most entertaining thing they have seen in the theatre. Whether it translates for an American audience will remain to be seen. But here in Australia there has been a lot of excitement since it was announced that it was coming here soon.
see it before passing judgement, its a huge hit in the UK.
