Noel Coward's sparkling comedy Blithe Spirit is reinvented as a sassy and sly '60s musical. In Coward's tale, writer Charles Condomine and his new wife are bedeviled by the mischievous spirit of the author's first wife, the deceased Elvira. Eccentric medium Madame Arcati conjures up the naughty ghost and endeavors to send her back to the other world. The original 1964 production on Broadway, directed by Noel Coward himself, was nominated for 8 Tony Awards, including Best Actress, Best Musical and Best Director.
