Carrie Hope Fletcher brings her Ghost Light concert tour to Cottiers, blending show-stopping numbers and stage stories to explore the history of UK theatre.
Carrie Hope Fletcher brings her Ghost Light tour to Cottiers on Wednesday 21 October, one of her Glasgow dates on a run that takes her to cathedrals across the UK. It's a concert tour rather than a play, and the title comes from the ghost light — the single bulb left burning on a dark stage to keep people from tripping over the scenery, and, as the folklore goes, to keep the ghosts of the theatre happy.
That's the thread she pulls on throughout the night. Fletcher describes the show as a guide through the pasts of the country's most iconic stages, where she reveals the hidden histories and spirits that hide behind the curtain. The evening blends her singing with storytelling, drawing on her expansive repertoire alongside brand-new renditions that haven't been heard before. It's as much about the stories she tells between the songs as it is about the music itself.
If the name doesn't ring a bell, you'll likely recognise her from the West End. She's known for her roles in Heathers, Cinderella and Calamity Jane, and is billed as one of the UK's most beloved musical theatre stars and one of the West End's brightest. This tour takes her out of the theatre and into these larger, echoing spaces, and the set follows her through the songs and the stories that have shaped her career.
