The Phantom Of The Opera – Location, Tickets, Reviews
One of the most successful musicals of all time, The Phantom of The Opera — Andrew Lloyd Webber’s tour de force — is still killing it on stage nightly in New York City. It premiered 25 years ago and played continuously ever since.
Told through a famous, heart-wrenching score, it is the story of a love triangle between a rising star, a nobleman, and a damaged genius. The stage effects, falling chandelier included, are elaborate.
Recommended if you haven’t seen it yet and the touring production isn’t coming to a theater near you sometime soon; but if you have seen it then for the love of all that is beautiful, brilliant, and innovative about the theater in New York City, please try something new. We have many recommendations.
