"Ghostlight" The Musical Makes Its TV Debut on the GingerNewYork TV Show, New York City

NEW YORK - Nov. 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Ghostlight: According to backstage lore, the ghost of a Ziegfeld Follies star haunts the New Amsterdam Theatre. Ghostlight excavates the true story of Olive Thomas, a small-town girl who rises to headline alongside Fanny Brice. Seduced by the decadent world of the theatre, Olive stumbles into a secret affair, an unfulfilling Hollywood marriage, and a downward spiral into drugs and alcohol. An homage to Broadway’s Golden Age, Ghostlight captures the glamorous and tragic lives of those who changed the face of the American musical forever. Ghostlight had a sold-out and extended run at the Signature Theatre as part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival in 2011. It was directed by Tim Realbuto and Matthew Martin, who also collaborated on the book, music and lyrics together.

An industry reading of the show will take place on Monday, December 2, 2013 at the famed New 42nd Street Studios, directed again by the creators Martin and Realbuto. Alison Holman (who co-wrote the musical Freedom's Song) will provide musical direction.
