The story so far.........
On a bone-chilling night near Halloween, six West End performers gather in a haunted theatre in Walton-on-Thames, drawn by whispers of a fabulous forbidden performance. The fog rolls in, and as they step onto the creaky stage, the old velvet curtains groan open by themselves.
Eager to put on a show to celebrate their love for musicals, the performers shake off their unease and begin rehearsing, unaware of lurking spirits. The eerie melody of "Poor Unfortunate Souls" echoes from nowhere, pulling one of the actors toward the shadows, her voice cracking as something ancient and malevolent murmurs, "I've put a spell on you...".
They stumble on with their rehearsal, going into "This is Halloween," but as they sing "Pumpkins scream in the dead of night," the carved pumpkins on the set light up on their own. Then a ghostly chorus line rises from the trap door, for their own phantom finale of “Thriller”, hungry for one last standing ovation!
Join us, if you dare. It's gonna be a SCREAM,,,,,
