Ghostlight ready to open curtain on ‘Alzheimer’s The Musical’

Sun City West stage hosts musical over 2 weekends

Posted

Ghostlight Theatre is re-staging one of its most successful productions when “Alzheimer’s The Musical-A Night to Remember” opens its two-weekend run 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27 on the Sun City West stage at 13541 W. Camino Del Sol.
The theater is celebrating its 10th anniversary season by re-staging some of its most popular works from over its first decade. Theater founder Matt McAuley says “Alzheimer’s The Musical” has enjoyed the most sellouts during previous runs.

The show, written by Maureen Sherlock and directed by Chris Ulbrich, is a musical comedy about the pitfalls of growing old. The storyline doesn’t make fun of the disease, but rather at aging. In fact Alzheimer’s disease rarely gets mentioned throughout the production.

The cast features three women who talk and sing about life, from medication to being single.

Cathy Corbin plays Rose, and is a veteran of performances at Surprise’s Stage Left Productions and Peoria’s Theater Works, and she returns to the Ghostlight stage for the first time since “Over The River and Through The Woods” in 2015. Paula McKenny plays Mary, and recently appeared in Ghostlight’s production of “12 Angry Jurors.” Phyl Deany plays Joan, having appeared on the Ghostlight stage this season in “The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow.”

Audiences should note that this musical contains adult humor and sexual innuendo.

Tickets $20, and are available at ghostlightaz.com.
