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!

Everything and more

I was a chaperone for a high school choral group and Phantom was the musical my chaperone group went to see. The musical was everything we had expected and more. The group was in awe of such a magical performance. The seating was wonderful. I didn't think there was a bad seat in the house. I would definitely take my mother and anyone else to the musical. There is a great pizza type restaurant across the street that used to be a church of somesort. Phantom was phenomenal! ... Read more

Phantom of the opera

Omg! Just went to the Phantom of the Opera in Atlanta at the FOX theater. We were in the extreme nose bleed section. I could not make out any of the performers faces, but there was no denying it was an incredible performance! The music was so powerful, I had to wipe my eyes several times. The performance was flawless. What I would not give to see that performance up close. I think I could die happy! ... Read more

Amazing!!

This show was so great, I had goosebumps. We bought our tickets at the TKTS booth and sat in the Orchestra section and loved every second, every minute. The acting AND the singing were spot on! The costumes and make-up were flawless! This was an experience that I advise ANYONE who has never seen this, you MUST go. There is a very GOOD reason this has been running for so long.....IT IS GREAT! The ushers and the people working at the theatre were so VERY helpful and kind. The theatre is beautiful! Thanks! ...
