The latest in the school musical outings to Oxford New Theatre, this was one I had heard about in London, but never got around to seeing. I had never seen the film (which most of the people I went with were quite shocked about!) and didn't know an awful lot of what to expect.
I was sat with three others from school right nearer the front on the side. I've got to say how much I absolutely loved the show and the experience. It was fun, moving, dramatic, exciting, unexpected, clever and I left buzzing from it. For some reason I didn't realise someone was going to die so that came as a shock and the circumstances, well! And then the big reveal about his friend - even more crazy. And I was amazed how I totally bought the changing of emotions between her state of mourning and then the laugh out loud parts of the psychic. I really loved the variety. And it was edge of your seat stuff following along with the story - I really didn't want the interval to happen - I wanted it to carry straight on!
And then there were all the technical sides of the performance. It was amazing how the lighting managed to be so different on the ghosts. And how he managed to walk through the door! And the scene on the train. I thought the other people were dummies and was thinking they were fairly life like and then they turned out to be real actors! And I liked the big show numbers and dancing; that's often my favourite but of a show but not this time. I did really enjoying the acting and performances. The screens and projection of moving films was good too.
Thanks for organising another great outing, Mr B. And thank you for putting on such a good show cast and crew of Ghost. Seen Tuesday 25th February 2014
