Last night we were lucky to have tickets given to us by my boss to see the musical 'Ghost' at Bristol Hippodrome.
It was a beautiful summers evening, so we relaxed in the Piano Bar beforehand listening to show tunes whilst Sam sipped on a gin and tonic.
We were both quite surprised at how good the stage show was, considering that there are no songs in the film. The special effects were really cool, the production was innovative, clever and very modern.
The first half had quite a few big 'numbers' which were fun - baby was jumping about all over the place!
I'd go out on a limb and say it is probably the best musical we've ever seen - and we're not fans of musical stage shows in general usually. I would recommend it, however it was a bit of a shame that they used English actors instead of Americans for the UK tour as their accents were pretty dodgy. Also the actress playing the part of Molly had long, blond, curly hair - which they seem to have made a thing out of on purpose. I'm not really sure why, think it would have been better if they stuck to the original Demi Moore style...
