The first performances of Ghost the Musical in Australia have been planned for Melbourne.
Holidaymakers taking flights to Melbourne in the coming months could be among the first to see a production of Ghost the Musical in Australia.
Melbourne has been announced as the first city to host the musical in August 2013, when it will open at Her Majesty’s Theatre.
Based on the 1990 hit movie which starred Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze, the musical version features songs written by Eurythmics performer Dave Stewart.
The show has already been a huge success in the West End, following an initial trial run in Manchester.
No casting has been announced yet for the Australian version, although it is thought a nationwide search for the cast may take place.
Fans of musicals may already be planning to book flights to Melbourne in order to catch the world premiere of the new musical King Kong – Live on Stage show, which is set to open in early 2013.
