About Encores! High Spirits
Real-life husband and wife Phillipa Soo (Hamilton) and Steven Pasquale (The Bridges of Madison County) play on-stage husband and wife Ruth and Charles in this madcap musical comedy full of haunted hijinks. What happens when eccentric medium Madame Arcati, played by Andrea Martin (The Gilded Age, Pippin), accidentally summons Elvira, the ghost of Charles's ex-wife, played by Katrina Lenk (Company)? You get a hilarious, eight-time Tony-nominated musical directed by Jessica Stone (Kimberly Akimbo). Based on Noël Coward’s beloved play, Blithe Spirit, this musical combines his classic dry, witty humor with a delightfully brassy and whimsical score by Hugh Martin (Meet Me in St. Louis) and Timothy Gray (Love from Judy). This improbable farce has rarely been seen in New York since its original Broadway run in 1964, so this is your chance to see it brought back to life—no clairvoyant needed.

Cute story and show! The cast was amazing!
A complete confection! Charming story, beautifully reframed. Perfect cast. Andrea Martin is hilarious. Rachel Dratch is hysterical. Katrina Lenk is heavenly. Phillipa Sou and Steven Pasquale sing like angels. Campbell Scott brings a moment of sincerity that creates the emotional fulcrum of this beautifully-balanced production. A gem!
