Why see Phantom Of The Opera?

Experience the magic of Phantom as it enters a new era with a refreshed production set to enthrall audiences across America. Don't miss your chance to witness this legendary show when it comes to your city!

The Paris Opera, 1881...

Hidden in the tunnels deep below the Paris Opera resides a deformed musical genius who stalks the halls and terrorizes the company from the rafters. With his half-covered by his famous white mask, his only happiness comes from tutoring the beautiful, orphaned chorus girl Christine Daae, with whom he has an enduring obsession. Unseen, he teaches the young ingenue to sing 'The Music of the Night.' As her 'Angel of Music', Christine blossoms and steps out of the chorus line onto center stage.

When Christine becomes engaged to another man, the Phantom is driven wild with jealousy and will stop at nothing to have her for himself, even resorting to murder. And so begins a tantalizing tale of forbidden love and supernatural adventure so exciting that over 130 million people worldwide have lost their hearts and minds to the drama.

Did you know?

To achieve the spooky atmosphere of the Phantom's underground lair, the crew use more than 500lbs of dry ice and 10 fog and smoke machines at every performance. Brrrrrr!

Best Day Ever!

I took a bus from Vermont to Boston to see Phantom this past weekend.

Reading this negative reviews. People have to understand that is is a brother love 's traveling show and the Broadway spectacular cannot be repeated by a company that moves every two or three weeks. The Majestic Theater has an under structure that is permanent,, 27 years there. These people are on the move constantly and offer you their best. Try to appreciate it. ... Read more
