Highlights
Why we like it
"Maury Yeston's 'Phantom' presents a unique take on the classic tale, with hauntingly beautiful songs that rival the original."
From: Andrew Lloyd Webber MusicalsSynopsis
30m, 7f, plus ensemble (doubling possible.) / Ints./exts.
This mesmerizing Phantom is traditional musical theatre in the finest sense.
The Tony award winning authors of Nine have transformed Gaston Leroux' The Phantom of the Opera into a sensation that enraptures audiences and critics with beautiful songs and an expertly crafted book.
It is constructed around characters more richly developed than in any other version, including the original novel.
