The musical, based off the 1990 movie “Ghost,” tells the story of Sam Wheat, a ghost stuck in limbo after a sudden death.

At the beginning of the musical, Sam just moved in with the love of his life, Molly.

“They have pretty much everything they could possibly ever want. They’re young and in love and have so much of their lives ahead of them,” said Steven Grant Douglas, the actor starring as Sam in the production.

The couple’s blissful reality quickly draws to a close, however, after Sam’s untimely death.

“Sam is tragically killed way too soon and sort of gets stuck between the next world and the world he just left, because he can feel that Molly is in danger and can’t leave her,” Douglas said.

Sam’s inability to move on to the next world turns out to be a blessing in disguise when he meets a storefront psychic, who has the intriguing gift of communicating with the dead.

With the psychic’s help, Sam spends the rest of the play discovering the truth behind his death while keeping Molly safe.

“It is a story about unrelenting love that remains true even after someone has passed,” Douglas said.

He said that the transformation from movie to musical went over brilliantly.

“Music connects with people more than just speech does, so the way the songs are crafted really pulls at you viscerally so you feel an even deeper emotion than you feel when watching the film,” he said.

However, the show will be more than a treat for the ears. Douglas said the musical will feature “larger-than-life” set pieces, two 25-foot LCD screens and many stage illusions.

“It’s kind of a spectacular experience for the audience because you’re seeing these things happen, but you know there’s no way that they could be computer-generated because they’re right in front of you,” Douglas said.

Behind the variety of captivating illusions, however, the story’s core message is still one of undying love.

“The biggest message of the show is to tell the people closest to you in your life that you love them because you never know when it’s too late and you never know when you’re not gonna have that opportunity,” Douglas said.
