Andrew Lloyd Webber said, “It’s wonderful to have a new
production of PHANTOM touring America now that the show has
celebrated over 25 years on Broadway. Director Laurence Connor has done an
amazing job and this production has received huge critical acclaim in the UK.”
Cameron Mackintosh said, ''After a glorious celebration of
25 phenomenal years on Broadway with no end in sight, I'm delighted to be able
to bring this dazzling new production of PHANTOM -- which has
been phenomenally well-received by both audiences and critics in the U.K this
past year -- to North America. With an exciting new design and staging,
retaining Maria Björnson’s amazing costumes, I am confident North American
audiences will fall in love with the PHANTOM in his new guise --
for the first time or all over again.”
The
new production of PHANTOM is an enormous hit with audiences and
critics alike…
“Extraordinarily
opulent. This PHANTOM’S storytelling and relationships have an
electrifying tension.” – Chicago Sun-Times
“An intense and
spectacular new production with a stunning new design,
fresh drama and added
momentum.” – Sunday Express (UK)
“Take a deep breath and
prepare to be dazzled; this kind
of gorgeous escapism is
exactly what audiences need.” – The Scotsman (UK)
“
Powerful, gorgeous…and
better than ever.” – The Philadelphia Inquirer
“This PHANTOM is for a
new generation.” – Roy Leonard, Chicago Now
This new production of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is

Misérables now on Broadway) with choreography by Scott Ambler, set design
by Paul Brown, Tony Award-winning original costume design by Maria Björnson,

Based on the classic novel Le Fantôme de L’Opéra by
Gaston Leroux, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA tells the story of
a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House,
exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in
love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating
a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by employing all of the
devious methods at his command.
