continue to tour the U.S. playing in tandem with the Broadway
production which soon celebrates 30 years.”
Cameron Mackintosh said, “With PHANTOM
still the reigning champion as the longest-running production on
Broadway after 28 phenomenal years, with no end in sight, I’m delighted
that this spectacular new production of PHANTOM has
been as well-received in the U.S. as the brilliant original and has
already been seen by over 2.5 million people across North America since
it opened in November 2013. With an exciting new design and staging,
retaining Maria Björnson’s amazing costumes, the new PHANTOM
is thrilling audiences and critics alike all over again. With the
production continuing to be such a success, we are delighted to welcome
our exciting new stars to keep the music of the night soaring for many
