Review: PHANTOM at Arizona Broadway Theatre
by Herbert Paine - March 10, 2025
By now, the phrase Phantom of the Opera conjures one thing: Andrew Lloyd Webber’s juggernaut, a chandelier-crashing, organ-blasting spectacle that has been haunting Broadway since the Reagan administration. But Maury Yeston and Arthur Kopit’s PHANTOM, currently at Arizona Broadway Theatre in Peoria until April 10, is an entirely different beast—lusher, more romantic. It plays like a grand old movie, the kind that knew how to sweep you up in its spell.
