Phantom of the Opera

The Phantom is back to thrill audiences once again in Cameron Mackintosh's revitalized new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's legendary musical, Phantom of the Opera! Based on the brilliant original production seen around the world, this romantic and haunting tale about a disfigured musical genius, known only as 'The Phantom,' who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House, returns to the Fox Cities “more spectacular than ever” (Sunday Express). Mesmerized by the talents and beauty of a young soprano, Christine, The Phantom lures her as his protégé and falls fiercely in love with her. Unaware of Christine's love for Raoul, The Phantom's obsession sets the scene for a dramatic turn of events where jealousy, madness and passions collide.

Seen through the eyes of his older self, his adventure becomes a poignant reminder that if you choose the ride, life can begin again at any age.
