Nothing has been confirmed by the producers as of yet but the West End Production of Ghost The Musical is closing this autumn. I find it sickening the way cast members have found out at the same time as the public via the Daily Mail. No matter what area of business, a company should respect it's employee's and at least have the decently to inform them of the fact that they face unemployment.
Ghost will be replaced by the now Spice Girls Musical. Need any more be said?
Current cast member Olivia Lucy Phillip wrote this on twitter 'Always lovely to find out news from the paper isn't it!'. Fellow cast member Francesca Hoffman wrote 'Well interesting day at work tomorrow, thank you daily mail for telling me Ghost is closing in the autumn!!!!' I think they have been kind with their choice of words.
Ghost is one of the best shows I have ever seen and it connected with me in a way no other show has ever done. Let's hope it tours or moves venue because it would be a crime to deprive this show to the British Public.
Update: 1/6/12 @11:30 - Mark Evans, who is currently playing Sam in the production, has just spoken out on Twitter and said this 'We appreciate people's messages but there are no dates confirmed, nothing has been decided and so I'm afraid no questions can be answered! Ghost is a fantastic show that no matter how long we are running we are all proud to be a part of and every performance will be fantastic between now and the last one whenever it may be! #believe'. So it looks as if we are going to have to wait a while longer to find out what the future has in store for this incredible show.
On the 14th June 2012 it was announced the show would close on the 6th October 2012.
