Yeah, I found that. I was hoping for a souvenir brochure, like, of this cast, but then I remembered, it’s Kenwright, not Mackintosh.
Although ironically, Mackintosh’s Mis tour is on its third venue and have only just shot the pro shots for their touring cast.

Was disappointed but not surprised!

Just had a look at mine - colour photos are old cast but there is a montage of new cast in black and white inside back cover

Does anyone have a merch list for this? I'm at Brighton today and there was some merch downstairs, I'll go down take a proper look at the interval and try get a pic of the list. The theatre has done their own programme for £4 then there was a souviner one for £7. I bought the £4 one.

This was DREADFUL. Every song (apart from Moping Myrtle's quite good one in the first half & Unchained Melody in the second) could have been written by some sort of bland software.
That guitar! Ugh.
I was rooting for the murderer the whole time.

I was rooting for the murderer the whole time. Oh no! Haha. I definitely didn't think it was amazing, I found the two main characters really irritating, they were just too sickeningly sweet with each other and didn't feel real. I didn't find myself caring about them at all. At the end, there was sniffing all round me, so there were plenty of tears but I didn't feel a thing and didn't get it. However I thought the songs were okay and they had great voices. I thought a lot of it was quite fun. I don't think I'd go see it again, unless it was done again with the special effects because that's what everyone talks about!

I am hopefully seeing this today, if the theatre have any student tickets left by the time I get into Edinburgh.

Time for a review.
I went in with pretty low expectations after hearing the opinions of some people on here, and on other social media platforms, but I was pleasantly surprised. Is it the best production ever from a visual perspective? No. But the good things about it are really good, for example, casting. BKL have learned from their mistakes from the last tour. Rebekah Lowings and Niall Sheehy were brilliant, with Niall in particular having a stunning voice. I enjoyed Rebekah as she could actually sing the score as written without breaking. *cough* Harding *cough*.
Another standout was Jacquie DuBois as Oda Mae. She was HILARIOUS, and definitely the crowd favourite. The sass was real.
We had a show stop just after Oda Mae's song in act 1. There were some sound issues (speakers crackling, and some mics not working) which were ironed out after about 10 minutes. The actual interval 20 minutes later felt a little pointless. We got told to stay seated, yet some folk actually still went up to the bar.

I've just seen this in Brighton and enjoyed it. I'd pretty much agree with most of the previous comments - it's not the best thing I've ever seen but Niall Sheehy and Becky Lowings have great voices and do really well with it.
If you are hesitating I'd say definitely go!!

This is not uncommon at a fringe show. I saw a whole pizza pie once. I also saw dogs and babies!

My thoughts exactly. It was almost unbelievable that suvh blandness could come from songwriting greats Rick Nowels and David Stewart.
I expected a score with some kind of edge to it (given their track record and style), and we got the opposite!

What's the run time on this? Thinking of going tomorrow but I'd need to know if I could catch the bus.

There are some twelve pound seats on offer in Sunderland at the sides of the stalls. Was wavering whether to see this or not but at those prices it's worth a go.

It finishes around 2 minutes to 10 if that helps.

I saw this on Saturday, have seen it before in London many years ago with Mark Evans. Obviously this production does not have the amazing special effects that did but I still think it is well worth a watch if you can get a reasonably priced ticket.
I was impressed with Rebekah Lowings and Niall Sheehy, both of whom have lovely voices. The standout for me though was Jacquie DuBois as Oda Mae who I thought was hilarious. Worth getting a ticket for her alone.

As an unashamed blubbering,weeping mess when a good ballad is delivered in a musical,I have to say that ‘WithYou’ in GHOST is a beautiful and poignant song and does the trick every time.

Worth getting a ticket for her alone. Saw Ghost in Liverpool on Wednesday and have to agree with the above. Rebekah has a beautiful voice and acted the part really well. For a touring production standards were really high and I thoroughly enjoyed it. With you is one of my favourite musical songs anyway and Rebekah certainly did it justice.

If anyone’s wanting to catch this cast, I’d hurry up with that as the tour closes in Bradford next weekend.

It's a Bill Kenwright production so if it's sold well should hopefully be touring again by the end of the year.
So much better than the previous incarnation (sorry) with Sarah Harding. I saw that on the opening night at Wimbledon and she was embarrassingly bad as Molly. On the equivalent first night at Bromley in January Rebekah Lowings was excellent.

I follow the Twitter page and seemingly reviews have been fantastic.

I wasn’t a huge fan of Ghost when I saw it in Manchester. I thought it looked quite cheap and I was so disappointed with the special effects but the cast were great! Would love to see the original again!
