Blithe Spirit

See it if you enjoy old-fashioned escapism. Blithe Spirit is much ado about nothing...but delightfully so. A very polished period piece.

Don't see it if you expect Lansbury to still be masterful. She was adorable, but elderly. Not as adept as the other actors. The set and costumes are great.

Also I'm catching up on missed reviews...I had a fun time at Blithe Spirit. Not every theater outing needs to be profound (at least, not for me). The script is clever and well-plotted, the characters deliciously flawed, the production values high. Blithe Spirits raised my spirits!... Read more Read less

See it if you get a chance to see it with Angela Landsbury and enjoy British-style humor - it's well-acted & amusing even if the story is a bit dated

Don't see it if you want to see something more modern and/or fast-paced. It's billed as a comedy, but it's not really LOL-type of funny; a bit cliched.
