Announcing: World Premiere of “iGhost” Set for Lyric Theatre

WORLD PREMIERE MUSICAL iGHOST
BY DOUG HAVERTY AND ADRYAN RUSS
SET FOR LYRIC THEATRE ON LA BREA

NEW MUSICAL REPLACES PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED
DEAR WORLD, MAY 20 – JUNE 19

The Lyric Theatre on N. La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles, Dorrie Braun, Founder and Executive Director, has announced the world premiere of iGhost, a new musical with book by Doug Haverty, music by Adryan Russ, and lyrics by Adryan Russ and Doug Haverty, replacing the previously announced Dear World. iGhost will follow the West Coast premiere of Lust ‘n Rust, The Trailer Park Musical which begins previews on March 25.

Spirits soar in this contemporary, musicalized spin on the Oscar Wilde classic The Canterville Ghost. In iGhost, a young artist unleashes bluetooth, wireless wizardry into a haunted castle with bombastic, humorous, and surprisingly romantic results. Creators Doug Haverty and Adryan Russ are also the writers of off-Broadway’s Inside Out.

Jules Aaron is set to direct, and Richard Berent will serve as musical director. Casting and designer information will be announced later. iGhost will begin previews on May 13, with opening night set for Friday, May 20 at 8:00. The engagement runs through June 19.
