“Oh My Love, My Darling… I’ve hungered for your touch.”
Who doesn’t remember this iconic song and scene from the movie! For anybody who might not have watched the original movie which came out back in 1990 starring the late Patrick Swayze alongside Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg here is a little run down for you:
Walking back to their apartment late one night, a tragic encounter sees Sam murdered and his beloved girlfriend Molly alone, in despair and utterly lost. But with the help of a phoney storefront psychic, Sam, trapped between this world and the next, tries to communicate with Molly in the hope of saving her from grave danger…
Ghost the Musical stars Rebekah Lowings as Molly, Josh St. Clair as Sam and Jacqui Dubois as Oda Mae Brown with the legendary Les Dennis as Hospital Ghost and Lionel Ferguson.

The cast were fantastic and brought the characters to life so effortlessly. As a fan of the movie I was relieved that the show made me cry just as much. Jacqui Dubois comical performance stole the show – overall the talent was amazing she was our favourite for sure. Both my friend and myself thought the transitions from the characters who passed away was perfectly executed with the right lighting especially the last one with Carl Bruner had us totally puzzled, just brilliant. What a great opening night for this brilliant musical and the standing ovation at the end showed us that the whole theatre enjoyed it just as much as we did!
If you are a fan of Ghost go and watch it you will NOT be disappointed. Guess who is listening to ‘Unchained Melody’ by the Righteous Brothers on a loop now!
Thank you Bournemouth Pavilion for the invite and the fantastic pre show drinks reception we had a great time enjoying some delicious cupcakes, recreating the famous pottery scene and even getting a palm reading which was very interesting!
