The Phantom of the Opera Tickets
Andrew Lloyd Webber's smash musicalization of the Gaston Leroux novel won the 1988 Tony Award for Best Musical and is now the longest-running show in Broadway history.
The Phantom of the Opera is based on the Gaston Leroux novel, this story of seduction and despair is told through a lush and romantic score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Charles Hart. Gorgeously directed by theater veteran Harold Prince, The Phantom of the Opera is a haunting show that has enchanted audiences across the globe and has been responsible for igniting a lifelong passion for the musical theater in many of them.
John Cudia, the current star of the national tour, will take over the lead role on Broadway. Continuing in their roles in the Broadway cast are Marni Raab (Christine, Jennifer Hope Wills returns June 1), Ryan Silverman (Raoul), George Lee Andrews (Monsieur André), David Cryer (Monsieur Firmin), Patricia Phillips (Carlotta), Rebecca Judd (Madame Giry), Evan Harrington (Piangi), Heather McFadden (Meg Giry) and Elizabeth Loyacano (Christine at certain shows).
Cudia has had a long association with the show. He first joined the national tour in November 1999 as a Swing and cover for the leading role of Raoul. After eight months he took over as Raoul, which he played from July 2000 through March 2002, earning a National Broadway Touring Award nomination. He also covered the title role.
The longest-running show in Broadway history (achieved in 2006 when it surpassed the then-record run of Cats). The Phantom of the Opera is the winner of seven 1988 Tony Awards including Best Musical. Since its Broadway debut on Jan. 26, 1988, the musical has grossed over $715 million, making it the highest-grossing show in Broadway history.
Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber is currently working on a sequel to the show, Phantom: Love Never Dies, to bow in 2009-10.
The Phantom of the Opera has music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Lyrics are by Charles Hart (with additional lyrics by Richard Stilgoe), and the book is by Richard Stilgoe and Lloyd Webber.
