Love Is Dead
A ghost rom-com musical.
Written by Jeff Luppino-Esposito & Brett Ryback
Music by Brett Ryback | Lyrics by Jeff Luppino-Esposito
A young writer books a weekend in the Hudson Valley to get over a bad break-up and focus on her work only to find herself falling in love with the obnoxious (and obnoxiously attractive) ghost that haunts her rental. What begins as a battle of wills blossoms into mutual affection and supernatural sexual experimentation between woman and ghost. The ensuing events will move both of them to the other side, setting them each free in different ways. It's an absurd comedy about love in the modern age.
Sample the music:
