The Grand 1894 Opera House welcomes keyboard marvel and Galveston favorite Rob Landes at the Allen Organ, performing his specially-created, totally-improvised musical score for the showing of Lon Chaney's 1925 silent film masterpiece, The Phantom of the Opera, Saturday, November 1 at 8 pm.

Get into the Halloween spirit with a ghostly evening featuring a showing of one of the first horror movies! In advance of the Broadway musical coming to the Paramount Theatre in April 2015, Seattle Theatre Group and Trader Joe's Silent Movie Mondays will screen the original silent film adaptation of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

Most of the time, when you go to the theater, you pretty much know what to expect. Though the subject matter and delivery varies, when you buy a ticket to a play or musical you basically know what kind of show you're going to see. Well here's one for those of you that want something that is truly different, incredibly exciting, and is definitely the ticket for one of the coolest theatrical events you'll see in LA.

When Gaston Leroux published THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA back in 1911, little did he realize the numerous chandeliers that would come crashing down through the decades, and I've witnessed a good number of them. First, in 1925, there was 'the Man of a Thousand Faces,' Lon Chaney, Sr., who frightened poor Mary Philbin (a well-done version, even IF the film was silent); then, for Universal in 1941, Claude Rains (Bette Davis' favorite co-star) was a more subdued vocal coach for soprano Susanna Foster (a wooden Nelson Eddy, alas, is a greater impending horror as 'Raoul'). I could go on - even Herbert Lom, the actor who was the harried police superior to Peter Sellers' 'Inspector Clousseau,' took a swing on the old light fixture. (And let us not forget diminutive Paul Williams in the slightly askew PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE.) All of these pale, of course, in comparison to the legendary interpretation by Michael Crawford in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, which first brought the audience to its feet in 1986.

Silents you can hear! Blending the 1925 silent film with original songs and powerful live performances to create a show-stopping-spectacle, Vox Lumiere-The Phantom of the Opera brings the Lon Chaney classic to three-dimensional, high-decibel life. Eight electrifying performances take place at the Los Angeles Theatre Center on Sept. 19/20; Oct. 10/11; Nov. 14/15; and Dec. 12/13.
