Tickets are now on sale for the Broadway revival of Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit. Directed by Michael Blakemore, the play features a starry cast including Angela Lansbury, Christine Ebersole and Rupert Everett and will begin performances at the Shubert Theatre on February 26. Opening night is set for March 15.
Blithe Spirit tells the story of Charles Condomine Everett, a successful writer who decides to hold a seance as research for an upcoming mystery novel. A wacky medium named Madame Arkati Lansbury arrives to conduct the session and to Charles' great surprise, the ghost of his glamorous first wife, Elvia Ebersole returns! Will Elvira's plan for her husband's future come to pass? And how can Charles cope with the ghostly presence of Elvira and the real-life presence of his second wife, Ruth Jayne Atkinson?
One of Coward’s most popular comedies, Blithe Spirit set British box office records as the longest running comedy until it was surpassed in the 1970s by Boeing-Boeing. In his autobiography, Coward claimed he wrote the play in five days during a holiday, removing only two lines of dialogue before its first production in London.
