Following in the footsteps of The Mousetrap and Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera has reached its 15,000th performance in the West End on June 8th!

Andrew Lloyd Webber's romantic melodrama has been dazzling audiences with its grand theatrics and soaring, unforgettable score since October 1986, but its age makes it no less powerful; whether it's your first or fifth time, the pure majesty of The Phantom of the Opera never fails to raise the spirits!

What is the story?

Hidden in tunnels deep below the Paris Opera, there lies a mysterious deformed musical genius who stalks the halls and terrorizes the company. Grotesquely deformed, his face half-covered by his famous mask, his only happiness comes from his obsessive nighttime tutoring of the beautiful, orphaned chorus girl Christine Daae. Unseen, he teaches the young soprano to sing 'The Music of the Night.' Under the tutelage of her invisible 'Angel of Music', Christine blossoms, and steps out of the chorus and into the spotlight.

When Christine becomes engaged to another man, the Phantom is driven mad with jealousy and will stop at nothing to possess her, even murder. And so begins a tantalizing tale of forbidden love and supernatural adventure that will keep you in its clutches long after the last bar.
