The new productions coming to BroadwayHD in December include:

The Phantom of the Opera

December 1- Based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical of the same name from his hideout beneath a 19th century Paris opera house, the brooding Phantom (Gerard Butler) schemes to get closer to vocalist Christine Daae (Emmy Rossum). The Phantom, wearing a mask to hide a congenital disfigurement, strong-arms management into giving the budding starlet key roles, but Christine instead falls for arts benefactor Raoul (Patrick Wilson). Terrified at the notion of her absence, the Phantom enacts a plan to keep Christine by his side, while Raoul tries to foil the scheme.

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

December 9- The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is a 1994 Australian road comedy film written and directed by Stephan Elliott.

William Shatner Gonzo Ballet
