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!

The best play EVER!!!!!!

My fiance and I went with my parents to New York to see Phantom of the Opera Dec 4! It was absolutely incredible! We were sitting in the Orchestra seats in row E right in the middle and they were amazing seats! I would seriously recommend sitting near the front if you can, when the Chandelier falls it looks like it may fall right on you! But the Phantom did a Phantastic job!!!! He showed so much emotion and did such a wonderful job singing! Christine and Raoul did amazing as well! The whole cast did a great job! The managers were hillarious and so was Carlotta and her husband! And Madame Giry was almost scary! But the only person that didn't do amazing was Meg who I couldn't hear very well but she still did okay! This was definately the best play on Broadway and I don't think anyone, especially a Phantom fan, should even go without seeing this show! God Bless! ... Read more
