The sight was as unbelievableand fantastically theatricalas "Phantom's" own perseverance, as memorable as a Broadway show returning to performances as it has for 32 years and as an opera ghost, slighted yet determined, in search of love.

don't miss this iconic show

This Broadway institution is set to close April 2023!

The longest-running show in Broadway history, The Phantom of the Opera is a juicy blockbuster, ripe with romance, horror and true Broadway spectacle. The winner of seven Tony Awards, it's the story of a masked monster who stalks the halls of the Paris Opera House and will stop at nothing to make the company's latest starlet his own. But the Phantom won't be hanging around Broadway for long, as it's set to close in April 2023. Now's your last chance to catch this original Broadway musical, and remember to "always keep your hand at the level of your eyes." 

Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera is the stuff of Broadway legend. The Great White Way's longest-running show of all time, this Gothic epic has been enchanting New York audiences for over thirty years with its irresistible mix of romance and horror, backed by its iconic rock music score. Undoubtedly one of theatre's greatest spectacles, Phantom boasts exquisite costumes and set design, and of course, the magnificent chandelier that crashes onto the stage to close out the first Act.

Originally opening on Broadway in 1988, the show won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and put Andrew Lloyd Webber on the map of musical theatre map! As one of the world's biggest musicals, The Phantom of the Opera has starred some of musical theatres' greatest names, such as Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman, and Sierra Boggess. Among the many famous numbers in its score is the title track, 'All I Ask of You' and 'The Music of the Night'. For a night out at the theatre, you can't do better than the Phantom.

What is Phantom of the Opera About?

Underneath the Paris Opera House, there lurks the Phantom. Horribly deformed and mentally unstable, he stalks the building's cellars, plotting malevolent acts against the Opera's owners and whichever actors dare to take to the stage. Despite his terrible reign, he is infact blessed with extraordinary musical talent, and when one day he spies the beautiful singer Christine Daae, he knows he has found the star who can truly do his own music justice. Yet Christine is engaged to another, and blinded by jealousy, The Phantom kidnaps her and takes her to his lair in the Opera's foundations.

Though she's terrified at first, Christine begins to understand the awful events which have turned the Phantom into a monster. But will Christine's empathy be enough to put a stop to the Phantom's reign of terror, or will the murderous mob, led by Christine's fiance, get to him first?

Did you know?

Phantom has been running for over 30 years, making it THE longest-running Broadway musical ever! In 2016 it hit the milestone of 12000 performances, and you can be sure that there will be many, many more records to come.
