Blithe Spirit
Show Synopsis
Blithe Spirit returns to Broadway. When a peculiar medium conjures up the ghost of a noted writer's first wife, she unleashes one of the most amusing romantic triangles in the history of the theatre. Blithe Spirit is a colorful and clever comedy that remains a classic from the great Noel Coward. Seances, spirits, romance, and plenty of mischief, Noel Coward's comic gem gets an all-star Broadway setting in this new revival directed by Michael Blackmore. The cast includes legend Angela Lansbury, Christine Ebersole, Rupert Everett and Jayne Atkinson.
