Producer Bill Kenwright said: “Ghost is a story full of hope, and is one of those films which never leaves you.
“The book by Bruce Joel Rubin and score by Dave Stewart and Glenn Ballad come together wonderfully in one of my favourite new musicals in years.”
The show, which takes its inspiration from the classic film, is set to be an innovative reimagining of the story with an expanded book, original staging and new music.
The double academy award winning film was both a critical and box office success when it was released in 1990 and starred the late Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Tony Goldwyn and Whoopi Goldberg.
Winter Gardens Managing Director Michael Williams added: “This new casting information is a great addition to the fantastic line-up we already have with Sarah and Andy taking on the lead roles.
“We’ve had such demand for Ghost that we have already extended the run by five nights and we’re sure people are going to love the show when it arrives.
“The film is a classic which is loved by millions and to have this stage version coming just a few weeks after our successful run of Dirty Dancing is something really special for the town and Winter Gardens’ audiences.”
¬¬Ghost the Musical will run at Blackpool Opera House from Monday October 03 to Saturday 15.
