With book and lyrics by Bruce Joel Rubin (based on his film), audiences will revel in this new version of the musical, a timeless fantasy about the power of love. As in the 1990 film, you can't help but be drawn in by the romance, the comedy, and the suspense of this story of two young lovers, Sam and Molly. Torn apart by a tragic crime, psychic Oda Mae Brown facilitates Sam's journey back from death to help solve his own murder. The story is brought to life with music and lyrics by Dave Stewart (The Eurythmics) and Glen Ballard (Michael Jackson's Thriller)
