Noel Coward’s smash musical comedy was nominated for 8 Tony Awards. It is based on Coward’s play Blithe Spirit and includes a charming score by Hugh Martin & Timothy Gray. The musical features a fussy, cantankerous novelist named Charles Condomine, who is re-married but haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, the clever and insistent Elvira. Elvira is summoned by a visiting "happy medium", Madame Arcati, played by Georgia Engel of the Mary Tyler Moore Show. As the worldly and un-worldly personalities clash, unlikely twists and turns continue throughout this very entertaining musical. Georgia recently completed co-starring as Mrs. Tottendale in the Tony award-winning Broadway musical, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE. She is most remembered for playing Georgette Franklin in the MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW for which she would receive two Emmy Award nominations and begin a career of active work in television.
