Cameron Mackintosh said, “At long last, The Phantom is back and will soon, once again, haunt theatres across North America in the revitalized brilliant original production… The beating heart of Phantom has always been the love triangle entwining The Phantom, Christine, and Raoul, and I am thrilled to announce that we have found three exciting and contemporary new stars to rekindle the flames of our phantastic love story.”
Andrew Lloyd Webber added, “The Phantom made it very clear that it would not be long before his legend would, once again, be told in America. Love, passion and live theatre are what THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is all about. I still get goosebumps every time that chandelier comes alive.”
Featuring Maria Björnson’s original design, the tour is directed by Seth Sklar-Heyn, based on Harold Prince’s celebrated original direction, with musical staging and choreography by Gillian Lynne, recreated and adapted by Chrissie Cartwright.
Since its premiere in 1986, The Phantom of the Opera has played to more than 160 million people in 205 cities, 58 territories, and 21 languages, becoming one of the most successful musicals in history. Its score includes beloved classics such as “The Music of the Night,” “All I Ask of You,” and the iconic title song.
