A NEW musical production based on the much-loved movie Ghost will be coming to Birmingham.

Singer and actress Sarah Harding will make her stage debut in the timeless story of love, despair and hope when it comes to Birmingham’s New Alexandra Theatre.

She will star as Molly opposite Andy Moss, best known for starring as Rhys Ashworth in Channel 4’s Hollyoaks, as Sam.

Taking its inspiration from the classic movie, this innovative reimagining will feature an expanded book, new music and original staging.

For over 10 years Sarah Harding was part of one of the most successful pop acts in UK history, Girls Aloud while her acting credits include Bad Day, Freefall, Run For Your Wife, Coronation Street and St Trinians 2: The Legend of Fritton’s Gold.

Speaking about the show she said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be making my theatre debut in Ghost - The Musical. The film is one of my all-time favourites, so to get the opportunity to play Molly in Bill Kenwright’s new production is a huge honour for me and I can’t wait to get started.”

The Double Academy Award winning movie is a huge success story, both critically and at the box office, where it was the highest grossing film in the year of its release.

Walking back to their apartment late one night a tragic encounter sees Sam murdered and his beloved girlfriend Molly alone, in despair and utterly lost.

But with the help of a phony storefront psychic Sam, trapped between this world and the next, tries to communicate with Molly in the hope of saving her from grave danger.

The show runs at the New Alexandra Theatre from September 19 to 24.
