The last celebration for The Phantom of the Opera took place on 23 October last year, to mark the 10,000th performance of the show.
Sir Cameron Mackintosh, who produces the original show, said “From the very first performance, audiences have fallen in love with the unique alchemy of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s gorgeous score and Maria Björnson’s fabulously beautiful design, so brilliantly staged by Hal Prince and Gillian Lynne. The success of the show has become the stuff of theatrical legend so Andrew and I felt we needed to create a really special performance to celebrate the 25th anniversary.” Other cast will include Barry James as Monsieur Firmin, Gareth Snook as Monsieur André, Liz Robertson as Madame Giry and Wynne Evans as Piangi. A brand new set will feature in the Royal Albert Hall production by Matt Kinley inspired by Maria Björnson’s original designs. Tickets will go on sale for the Royal Albert Hall show on Monday 4 July at 10am.Ī cast and orchestra of over 200 will feature in the three special performances, which promises to be a lavishly staged new interpretation of the musical, directed by Laurence Connor with musical staging and choreography by the show’s original choreographer Gillian Lynne. Both stars have enjoyed extensive periods playing the roles in both the original show and Love Never Dies. Ramin Karimloo, who is currently playing the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Love Never Dies, which runs at the Adelphi Theatre until 27 August, will star in the title role, joined by Sierra Boggess as Christine.

The meeting of those ingenious minds came up with such classics as “The Music of the Night,” “All I Ask of You,” “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again,” “Masquerade” and the iconic title song. Based on the classic novel Le Fantôme de L’Opéra by Gaston Leroux, the show features music by Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart with additional lyrics by Richard Stilgoe and book by Richard Stilgoe and Webber.
The musical is widely considered one of the most spectacular productions to ever hit the Great White Way. Despite Andrew LLoyd Webber’s incredibly popular production being the longest-running show on Broadway, plans are in place for the final bow at the Majestic Theatre to happen on February 18, 2023, following a 35th anniversary celebratory bash.
