Blithe Spirit on Broadway was an incredible disappointment. The premise sounded good - the deceased wife returns during a seance to haunt her former husband. Unfortunately, the show uses incredibly dry British humor and ends up being very boring.
We were a group of people in our mid-to-late 20's, and none of us had anything good to say about Blithe Spirit. It was very boring, and a big disappointment. There were a couple scenes that were mildly amusing, but it certainly wasn't worth what we paid for it (or anything, for that matter).
There were a lot of older people in the audience that seemed to enjoy the show. I think we didn't get the style of humor and missed a lot of the jokes. The audience seemed to be laughing at many parts that just weren't funny.
The show stars Angela Lansbury, so if you are a fan of Angela Lansbury or British comedies you might enjoy this show.
