Encores! High Spirits
High Spirits is part of the 2026 Encores! Series. This series of concert stagings revisits the archives of American musical theater.
What happens when death doesn’t do you part? 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 full of haunted hijinks has rarely been seen in New York since its original Broadway run in 1964, when it earned eight Tony nominations, so this is your chance to see it brought back to life— no clairvoyant needed.
When straightlaced novelist Charles Condomine invites Madame Arcati to conduct a séance, he gets a lot more than he bargained for. The eccentric medium unknowingly summons his spectral late spouse, Elvira, who proves a formidable, and invisible, challenge for his current wife, Ruth. The ouija board can only spell t-r-o-u-b-l-e for this ghostly love triangle! Directed by Jessica Stone (Kimberly Akimbo), this madcap musical is a true delight.
