The Ghost Quartet

Ghost Quartet, Dave Malloy’s quirky and wondrous ghost-story-musical, is as life-affirming in its effect as it is astounding in its form. The piece is author-described as “a song cycle about love, death, and whiskey” in an interwoven tale spanning seven centuries, with a murderous sister, a tree house astronomer, a bear, a subway and the ghost of Thelonious Monk.
