Watch Ghost the musical on the stage
When Western movies had just begun to enter Chinese people's lives in the 1990s, the Oscar winner Ghost was among the first batch of blockbusters that gained wide popularity among Chinese audiences. The theme song of the movie, Unchained Melody, which was recorded by The Righteous Brothers, and the romantic pottery-making scene featuring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze, have also become unforgettable among Chinese fans.
Adapted from the movie, a musical of the same title will tour China for the first time beginning in June, opening in Beijing on June 30 before going to other cities, including Qingdao of Shandong province, Chongqing and Zhuhai of Guangdong province, taking Chinese audiences for a stroll down memory lane.
US screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin, who wrote the hit movie more than two decades ago, wrote the scripts for the musical himself.
