Paris' Mogador Theatre Will Remain Closed in 2016 Following Fire; PHANTOM Canceled

As Broadway World reported last month, following a fire at the Mogador Theatre on September 25, the opening of The Phantom of the Opera - or (when in Paris) Fantôme de l'Opéra - was cancelled. Now, according to a statement from Stage Entertainment France, it might be a while before the theatre opens again.

SEF explains: "Without prejudging anything conclusions that will later be made by the experts, the Theatre management indicated that it would be physically impossible to reschedule a show in 2016."

The show, which was set to star Phantom favorite Sierra Boggess, was expected to open tomorrow, October 13.
