About the Show

This classic Andrew Lloyd Webber musical is the longest running in Broadway history.

From the depths below the Paris Opera House, the Phantom will stop at nothing to promote his young muse, Christine Daaé, to stardom. When Christine falls in love with a prominent theatre manager, the Phantom wastes no time trying to win her back through song.

The show is based on the 1910 novel by Gaston Leroux. With iconic songs such as ‘Angel of Music’, ‘Music of the Night’, ‘The Phantom of the Opera’, and many more, this Andrew Lloyd Webber classic is the longest running musical in Broadway history. It opened in London in 1986 and on Broadway in 1988.

The musical was directed by the late Harold Prince, the director and producer who had a huge impact on American musical theater.

Cliched, Entertaining, Romantic

See it if You have to see a Broadway show. It's music is great and so is the set.

Don't see it if You don't want to go to a show that is quite predictable.

Entertaining, Original

See it if I saw this a few times. It was good the first time. A little dark and drawn out but it was "classic" Broadway, just now "show tune"ish.

Don't see it if If you want light and airy, this isn't the show. It's just "Phantom" so if you always wanted to see it, then see it. Not a must see thought

As expected, A broadway standard, Great singing

See it if If you're going to see Phantom, wait until Laird Mackintosh (Phantom understudy) is portraying the Phantom. He's as good as it gets!

Don't see it if If you've seen the show at all in the past, nothing about it has changed. It's a Broadway standard, which both helps & hurts it.

Clever, Intelligent, Original

See it if If you enjoy love stories because this one is uniquely told.

Don't see it if You hate ballads and romantic storylines.

Enchanting, Delightful, Romantic, Entertaining, Great acting
