STAGE TUBE: Talking With the Cast and Creative Team of South Africa's PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Broadway's longest running musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera has experienced sell out seasons around the world and made its long awaited arrival in Cape Town at the Artscape Theatre on 22 November 2011 and will arrive in Johannesburg at the Teatro at Montecasino from 31 Jan 2012. Hear what the cast and creative team had to say below!
Having played to more than 100 million people in 149 cities around the world, this full- scale production directed by Harold Prince is arguably the most popular musical of all time. Andrew Lloyd Webber's sweepingly romantic score includes "Music of the Night" and "All I Ask of You", and will be performed by a stellar South African cast.
The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a disfigured musical genius known only as 'The Phantom' who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House. Mesmerised 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.
