Love Is Dead
A musical comedy about a heartbroken woman and a sexy ghost.
Book & Lyrics: Jeff Luppino-Esposito
Book & Music: Brett Ryback
*2025 NAMT New Works Festival OFFICIAL SELECTION*
Jordan has just gone through an awful break-up. She heads to the Hudson Valley for a long weekend only to discover her rental is haunted by an obnoxious -- and obnoxiously attractive -- ghost named Cody. Her life is falling apart; his already did. What begins as a battle of wills blossoms into mutual affection and supernatural sexual experimentation between woman and ghost. And maybe together they can overcome the existential horror of dating and romance in the modern age.
