| Richard Fleeshman and Caissie Levy star in 'Ghost the Musical' |
This is the third of four posts about the upcoming production of 'Ghost the Musical' in London's West End.
Having the opportunity to see Richard Fleeshman in "Legally Blonde" in London in 2010 and Caissie Levy in the 2009 revival of "Hair" on Broadway in supporting roles, it will be interesting to see how they fare as leads in such a high profile show as 'Ghost the Musical' based on the 1990 feature film.
The audiences and critics are waiting until the show premieres this June at the Piccadilly Theatre in London. More info at ghostthemusical.com.
For now here are their program biographies:
Richard Fleeshman (Sam Wheat)
Richard made his West End debut in Legally Blonde playing Warner opposite Sheridan Smith at the Savoy Theatre.
Television credits include Craig Harris in Coronation Street, Midsomer Murders, Moving On, All the Small Things, Reading Bedtime Stories, Monday Monday and Blue Murder IV.
In 2003, Richard won Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes and went on to win Soapstar Superstar in 2006. Richard plays the piano and guitar and signed a major record deal with Universal Records in 2007. More recently he has been working with Sir Elton John on his Summer Stadium, Red Piano and European Tours.
Caissie Levy (Molly Jensen)
Ms. Levy is delighted to be back in the UK in Ghost, having starred as Sheila in last season's West End production of Hair at the Gielgud Theatre.
