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.

See it if you love big sweeping scores, lots of singing, and lots more drama! Beautiful score, gorgeous staging and costumes, big beautiful musical.

Don't see it if you want something with edge, intimate, or small in scale. This is a big show with big music and characters which is more opera than musical
