Why see Phantom Of The Opera?

See Broadway's longest running show, on tour!

In 1986, Andrew Lloyd Webber opened his newest hit, the powerful and haunting Phantom of the Opera, an electronic rock musical based on Gaston Leroux's 1910 book of the same name. The sweeping supernatural romance has since gone on to capture the public's imagination and embed itself in popular culture. As Broadway's longest running show, this Eighties juggernaut is still breaking records and is estimated to have been seen by 140million people worldwide.

Join Phantom as it moves into a new era, with an updated production that is ready to thrill audiences across America when it hits your town!

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!

Wonderful experience!

We had a wonderful date night seeing the show and dinner at a Japanese barbeque place a block away. Our seats were wonderful in the front center of the balcony. If you want to be in the middle of the action the orchestra seating would be a good choice as well. The sets are stunning and full of neat surprises. Loved that a lot of details followed the novel as well as the music from Webber. The orchestra was spectacular. I enjoyed most of the signing as well, it was very impressive. Only critique would be the phantom's singing, whenever he went into his head voice he unrounded his vowels and it did not sound correct. Added an off twang to some of his singing. But the falsetto half of his singing sounded great! Overall a great experience! ... Read more

Best Experience of my life

I saw the Phantom of the Opera tour in St. Louis at the Fox theatre 3 years ago and it was absolutely breathtaking. I was most impressed by Eva tavares and Quentin Oliver Lee as Christine Daae and The Phantom. Their voices were outstanding, especially Eva's. Every single time she started singing i got chills everywhere, and it is by far the best singing I have ever heard. I would do anything to see the show again! 100 percent reccomend. ... Read more
