gareth Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Saw Ghost The Musical at the Piccadilly the other night. Now, a cynical sod like me is not normally wont to get excited about a west end musical, but I have to admit that the visual element of Ghost absolutely blew me away. Hugh Vanstone, Jon Driscoll and Rob Howell (lighting, projection and set design respectively) have done some beautiful work on the show. If you haven't seen it, it may be too late as it comes off on Saturday - but if you're in London with an evening to kill this week, and you haven't seen it, it's worth trying to get a ticket.

paulears Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Didn't realise it was closing. Things really just don't have legs any longer, it seems. I suppose the sales just never kept up. After I saw it, I lost count of the number of people who'd never even heard of the movie - times move on so fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljoshua Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'm glad I wasn't the only one! I saw Ghost about 2 months ago. It's the most visually impressive (yet strangely subtle in places) show I've ever seen. Without wanting to give too much away, the automation (including the raising and lowering of the grid at many points during the show) are stunning as is the "set" (if you can call it one in the traditional sense). I'm disappointed that it ends on Sat, I'd have liked to see it again before it closed. Even more disappointing is the show that's replacing it!

rossmck Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 It's off on tour next year...so keep your eyes pealed...! I'd be interested to see how much it changes for the tour - some of the illusions would be difficult to include :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImagineerTom Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 some of the illusions would be difficult to include they really wouldn't.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljoshua Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I am looking forward to seeing it tour,I can believe that the effects wouldn't be that hard to tour,I'd have thought the set would be harder to tour efficiently. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
