Audience response
This show had so much heart! The music and costumes were beautiful and the cast was so talented. It was the perfect mix of spooky and lighthearted! The ghosts were my favorite. I will be back next year!
I came in with low expectations when I found out it was a community theater putting on an original play, but I was stunned by the storyline and the catchy music. It was entertaining the whole way through, and I found myself humming the tunes the next day.
