The Phantom of the Opera provides a thrilling night of theater while greatly stirring one’s emotions, both scary and romantic. With its beloved signature tune Music of the Night, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s score not only sets the mood, but you will also find yourself admiring the gorgeous period costumes and simple yet glorious sets – with even the famous chandelier being a thrill.

The Phantom of the Opera is based on the 1910 horror novel by Gaston Leroux, which follows a horribly deformed composer as he haunts the grand Paris Opera House. Hidden from the outside world in an underground cavern, the lonely, romantic man offers his talents composing operas for Christine, a gorgeous young up-and-coming soprano. As Christine becomes more famous, and a handsome gentleman from her past enters the picture, the Phantom grows mad and begins to terrorize the opera house owners and performers with his murderous acts. Still, Christine finds herself drawn to the mysterious Phantom, and audiences seemingly agree since The Phantom of the Opera is Broadway’s longest-running hit ever.

Having made its Broadway debut at the Majestic Theatre, on January 26, 1988, The Phantom of the Opera is the winner of seven Tony Awards for that same year, including Best Musical. Andrew Lloyd Webber's masterful story of seduction and despair is seemingly timeless as it has become the longest-running Broadway musical of all time, breaking the record held by Lloyd Webber's Cats with its 7486th performance in January of 2006. According to its official website, Phantom is the most successful entertainment project in history, having grossed more than $5 billion worldwide!
