Description
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA - A CLASIC MUSICAL TO REMEMBER
Phantom of the Opera opened in London’s West End in 1986 and was the second longest-running musical in the West End, first place going to Les Misérables.
In New York, the musical was the longest-running Broadway show of all time but unfortunately, after 35 years, had to close the doors.
A fixture on Broadway since opening on Jan. 26, 1988 — “Phantom” has weathered recessions, war, terrorism and cultural shifts. But the prolonged pandemic may have been the last straw: It was a costly musical to sustain, with elaborate sets and costumes as well as a large cast and orchestra.
If you didn’t know, the Phantom mask was custom made!
Each actor who played the Phantom had a mask made just for them. It was custom made from a mould of their face.
Will the Phantom return?
Producer Cameron Mackintosh think the answer is “Yes” - all the great musicals return, and ‘Phantom’ is one of the greatest,” he said. “So it’s only a matter of time.”
Very happy to name this photo as one of my best selling photos in my portfolio!!!
