PICK Me Up Theatre has issued a final call for auditions for Ghost The Musical on Wednesday at Joseph Rowntree School, York. Those interested in taking part should email pickmeuptheatre@gmail.com urgently.

The York company's British amateur premiere will run from August 8 to 16 at the Joseph Rowntree Theatre with its story of love and loss as lovers Sam and Molly are torn apart by a fatal attack. Caught between this world and the next, Sam acquires the assistance of medium Oda Mae Brown in a desperate mission to warn Molly she is in danger.

“The musical version is powered by an electric rock and pop score, with memorable moments from the hit movie, such as the iconic pottery scene, and re-invented special effects,” says producer Robert Readman.

“We’re looking for diverse, vibrant cast members, talented in all disciplines of musical theatre to build our cast for this brilliant show.”

Ghost The Musical features music and lyrics by Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard and book and lyrics by Bruce Joel Rubin and is built around the 1990 movie that starred Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg.

Readman will be co-directing the premiere with Leeds teenage actress Robyn Grant, who has made her mark in NUEMusic Theatre, Pick Me Up, York Stage Musicals and Stage Experience shows in York. She will return from her BA course in Acting and Contemporary Theatre at East 15 Acting School to work on the summer show.

Tickets for Ghost The Musical’s 7.30pm shows and two Saturday matinees at 2.30pm are on sale at pickmeuptheatre.com
