Andrew Lloyd Webber’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is produced by Cameron Mackintosh and The Really Useful Theatre Company Limited and opened at Her Majesty’s Theatre on 9 October 1986 starring Michael Crawford as ‘The Phantom’ and Sarah Brightman as ‘Christine’.
In October 2010 the show celebrated its 25th Anniversary with a spectacular staging at London’s Royal Albert Hall which was broadcast live to cinemas around the world by Universal Pictures and in October 2016 will have played 12,500 performances in London. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA became the longest running show in Broadway history on 9 January 2006, surpassing the previous record holder, Cameron Mackintosh’s production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Cats” and on 26 January 2013 celebrated an amazing 25 years on Broadway.
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has won over 50 major theatre awards, including three Olivier Awards in the West End and seven Tonys on Broadway. It was the winner of the Olivier Audience Award, voted by the public, in the 2016 Laurence Olivier Awards.
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA became the first stage production to reach worldwide grosses of $6 billion. Revenues far surpass the world’s highest-grossing film “Avatar” (at $2.8 billion), as well as such other blockbusters as “Titanic”, “The Lord of the Rings”, “Jurassic Park” and “Star Wars”. Worldwide, a staggering 140 million people have seen THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA in 35 countries and 160 cities in 15 languages.
