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!

Soul stirring and Unforgettable!

My daughter and I saw the show! It was my second time seeing the production but it was a first for my daughter! I believe now we are both fans for life! The cast was amazing and the set and atmosphere at the Concert Hall was fantastic. We can't wait for It to return and we will want to see it twice when it does! We love The Phantomof the opera and the Concert Hall! ... Read more

Phantastic!

I went to see the show on its anniversary in October. The seats were great even though there was a person sitting in front of me who blocked part of my view due to height. I enjoyed the show and recommend it to all Phans. I recommend the seat I had on the first miranda house right. There were no obstructions of view during the performance unlike some people who I have heard could not see the chandelier or the Phantom when he is cutting it down. Great performance and music. I have to say that if you have trouble with stairs it may not be an easy task climbing them. Overal, beautiful theater and spectacular performance. ... Read more

Phenomenal

Loved,loved,loved this production. This was definitely the highlight of my NY trip and the best musical I have ever seen. Music was exquisite, sets amazing, performances outstanding. I fell in love with the movie and knew I had to see it in the theatre and seeing it on Broadway was just awesome. Second row seats were icing on the cake. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE. I hope I get to see it again...and again...and again. ... Read more
