Since Dubai Opera opened in August 2016, we’ve unashamedly cried our eyes out at Les Mis and Evita, laughed out loud at Mary Poppins and got all the festive feels with an annual trip to the Jingle Bell Favourites concert. So we were curious to see how Ghost: The Musical would fare among them.

Based on the Oscar-winning 90s film starring Demi Moore (Molly) and the late Patrick Swayze (Sam), this is a tale of love and life after loss. After Sam is murdered in what appears to be a random mugging gone wrong, Molly is left heartbroken and lost. That is until Sam, stuck between this life and the next, enlists the help of storefront psychic Oda-Mae to find his killer and keep Molly out of danger.
