You can now get a first look into the North American Tour of the new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary musical, The Phantom of the Opera featuring Isaiah Bailey and more.

Arena Stage Artistic Director Hana S. Sharif recently welcomed the company of the world premiere of CRAZYSEXYCOOL – THE TLC MUSICAL to DC for the start of the show's journey. Check out footage from the rehearsal room in the video here!

It’s almost unbelievable for me to admit that this was my first time seeing The Phantom of the Opera. Of course, I knew the iconic songs and had seen countless clips over the years, but experiencing the production live on stage for the first time was entirely different, haunting, and spine-chilling in the best way possible. From the chandelier drop to the monumental set pieces, the show truly lives up to its legendary reputation. The 2026 tour, directed by Harold Prince, serves as a revitalized version of the original production, featuring Maria Björnson’s iconic designs, musical staging, and choreography by Gillian Lynne. It is absolutely ravishing, and Seattle audiences are lining up hours early to witness the spectacle for themselves.

Three-time Olivier Award winner Philip Quast and West End performer Rob Madge have joined LES MISÉRABLES: THE ARENA CONCERT SPECTACULAR at Radio City Music Hall. Quast, who originated Javert in the Australian production and appeared in the 10th Anniversary Concert, will play the Bishop of Digne, while Madge returns to the franchise as Bamatabois after previously appearing as Gavroche in the 25th Anniversary Concert.

Nearly 40 years after its Broadway premiere, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA continues to cast its spell. I saw proof of that everywhere at the packed Keller Auditorium, including a young girl clutching a teddy bear wearing a tiny Phantom mask. The now and future PHANTOM fandom is in excellent hands.

The national tour of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, currently playing at the Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City, brings back the old favorite with refreshed reverence. The dark beauty of the original production remains intact while freshly burnished in this iteration, which features a new heartstopping chandelier drop that you’ll want to see for yourself.

If you’ve lived in Minneapolis long enough, you’ve probably seen a touring Phantom (or at least pretended you did when talking to theatre friends). But the production now at the Orpheum through December 7 feels surprisingly alive. Not “reinvented,” not “modernized”—just performed with the kind of conviction that makes you remember why this show became a juggernaut in the first place.
