Where? Her Majesty's Theatre, HaymarketStarring: Marcus Lovett, Sofia Escobar, Simon Thomas. Far beneath the majesty and splendour of the Paris Opera House, hides the Phantom in a shadowy existence.

The musical opened at Her Majesty€™s Theatre on 9 October 1986 with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the leading roles, and there have been dozens of productions worldwide since then. Now in its 25th record-breaking year, The Phantom of the Opera continues to captivate audiences at Her Majesty€™s Theatre in London€™s West End, after more than 10,000 performances. Andrew Lloyd Webber€™s mesmerising score along with jaw-dropping scenery and breathtaking special effects, magically combine to bring this tragic love story to life each night. Book here.
