Maury Yeston and Arthur Kopit's PHANTOM Ends Its Run At The Candlelight Dinner Playhouse 11/8

The Candlelight Dinner Playhouse is set to present the thrilling stage production, Phantom, now playing Thursday, Friday, Saturday evenings and Sunday matinees through November 8, 2009.

This mesmerizing Phantom is traditional musical theatre in the finest sense. The Tony award winning authors of Titanic and Grand Hotel, Maury Yeston and Arthur Kopit, have transformed Gaston Leroux' The Phantom of the Opera into a sensation that enraptures audiences and critics with its epic and passionate tale of murder, intrigue and romance! Told with more passion and emotion than the Lloyd Webber version, Phantom is faithful to Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel, "The Phantom of the Opera", which tells the heartbreaking story of a disfigured musical genius who falls in love with the voice and beauty of a street singer who becomes his protégé. This exhilarating story will captivate theatergoers of all ages!
