Musical theatre star Carrie Hope Fletcher brings her Ghostlight tour to Portsmouth Cathedral, with songs from her repertoire and the hidden histories of iconic stages.
Carrie Hope Fletcher brings her Ghostlight tour to Portsmouth Cathedral on Saturday 31 October, with the show starting at 19:30. It's part of a run of cathedral dates across the UK, and the night is built around more than just the singing.
Fletcher is one of the West End's most recognisable musical theatre names, with roles in Heathers, Cinderella and Calamity Jane behind her. Ghostlight is a concert that leans into that theatre background: she guides the audience through the pasts of some of the country's most iconic stages, talking about the hidden histories and the spirits that linger behind the curtain. The title itself comes from the ghost light — the single bulb left burning on a dark stage when the theatre is empty, which is exactly the kind of theatrical lore she'll be digging into.
Between the stories, she'll be singing from her expansive repertoire, so you'll hear the songs people know her for alongside brand-new renditions being heard for the first time. It's a mix of the familiar and the new, with the storytelling providing the thread that ties it all together.
