Swindon's Wyvern Theatre is set to host the musical Ghost for the first time in its history.

The theatre said it is very excited to stage the show from April 23 to April 26, 2025.

Ghost tells the story of Sam, who is tragically murdered one night while walking back to his apartment, leaving his girlfriend Molly in despair, alone, and utterly lost.

Sam, however, attempts to communicate with Molly from the afterlife with the help of a psychic, trying to save her from danger.

The musical is adapted from the Oscar-winning film Ghost, which starred Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg, and was the highest-grossing film of 1990.

The film's screenwriter, Bruce Joel Rubin, has adapted the screenplay for this musical version.

The Ghost musical features songs co-written by Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame, along with The Righteous Brothers' 'Unchained Melody'.

The theatre said: "Join us for a hauntingly beautiful evening at the Wyvern Theatre, where love knows no bounds."

Tickets for the show are available now from the theatre's website, and range in price from £21 to £55.
