My overall impression
Carli Wright’s acoustic pop songs are the highlight of this interesting genre cross: a musical ghost story. Wright plays Meredith, a ghost freshly arrived in the afterlife who must haunt her ancestral home. She needs to find a living person (Travis Cox in the show I saw) to fall in love with her and break her curse to return her to life. Meredith draws potential paramours in the only way she knows how, with her music. Sean Faye is all about the bottom line playing a real estate developer who wants to turn the haunted house with the singing ghost into a tourist trap. THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS seems to be a longer play that’s been cut down into a Fringe time slot because some key scenes are too short and a bit confusing. It’s nothing that can’t be cleared up in the full production which this piece deserves.
