The Last Phone Booth in Manhattan (2024)

 

After a lavish Broadway-inspired proposal, Avery finds out that her fiance Adam is a fraudster. Left outside the jail without her phone or money, and needing a ride home, she is given a number to call and directed to a phone booth, the last one in Manhattan.
When Avery rings the number, a mysterious person sends her to an address which turns out to be the home of her ex, Gabe. Is this telling her to give their relationship another try?
After returning to waitressing at a café where staff belt out Broadway numbers between food service, Avery also realises she wants to pursue acting again.
Inspired by Dickens’ tale of ghosts past, present and future, this story follows Avery on her journey back from rock bottom, as she learns to trust herself to make the right decisions and follow her dreams. On the bah-humbug side, the writing was sometimes a bit clunky and the magical elements were never fully explained. But if you love theatrical references and second chance stories, this may raise your spirits. 6/10
