Photo Flash: 'Phantom' at Porchlight Theatre Begins 9/14
Porchlight Music Theatre presents Phantom by Arthur Kopit with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston beginning September 14.
"Phantom is based on the Gaston Leroux 1910 novel, 'The Phantom of the Opera.' The musical is described as the most successful production 'never to have played Broadway.' The Phantom lives in the catacombs of the Paris Opera and falls in love with the voice and beauty of Christine. Drama ensues when a scheming diva, Carlotta, attempts to sabotage Christine's opera debut. A passionate tale of murder, intrigue and love, Phantom is an exhilarating musical with a lush and compelling score that captures audiences," state press notes.
Preview performances begin September 14, opening Sunday September 16 at 2:30PM with performances through November 11 at Theatre Building Chicag, 1225 W. Belmont. Show times are Fridays ($34) & Saturdays ($35) at 8PM; and Sundays ($35) at 2:30PM.
