“Spirited and whimsical!” – Behind the Curtain Cincinnati

“Clever script... Sophisticated wordplay with some physical comedy, mostly from Avis and Madame Arcati... A great evening of escape that’s both intelligent and silly. If you are a fan of the CBS television series Ghosts, this unofficial sequel of Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit is for you. Even if you never saw Blithe Spirit, you will easily follow the story, and it will entertain you!” – League of Cincinnati Theatres
