DSM unchains ‘Ghost: The Musical’ at Fair Park Music Hall
“Molly … you in danger, girl.” If you don’t recognize that line, then you probably didn’t ball like a kid on a playground when you saw (if you even saw) the hit movie Ghost. The 1990 film, a spiritual tearjerker about a man who continues to walk the earth until he can protect the woman he loved, was like The Sixth Sense with pottery wheels and less smugness. The national tour of the Broadway hit arrives in Fair Park for two weeks, courtesy of Dallas Summer Musicals.
DEETS:
Fair Park Music Hall
901 First Ave.
Jan. 28–Feb. 9.
