Beneath the majesty of the Paris Opera House, hides the Phantom in a shadowy existence
Overview
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera has returned to its home, Her Majesty’s Theatre and is now celebrating its 35th anniversary in London’s West End.
Experience the thrill of the West End’s most haunting love story, starring double Olivier Award nominee Killian Donnelly as The Phantom, Lucy St. Louis as Christine Daaé and Rhys Whitfield as Raoul.
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is widely considered one of the most beautiful and spectacular productions in history. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s romantic, haunting and soaring score includes Music of the Night, All I Ask of You, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, Masquerade and the iconic title song. It tells the tale of a disfigured musical genius known only as ‘The Phantom’ who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House. Mesmerised by the talents and beauty of a young soprano – Christine, the Phantom lures her as his protégé and falls fiercely in love with her. Unaware of Christine’s love for Raoul, the Phantom’s obsession sets the scene for a dramatic turn of events where jealousy, madness and passions collide.
The Phantom of the Opera
And in this labyrinth, where night is blind, The Phantom of the Opera is here, inside your mind…
This timeless story of passion and obsession is one of the world’s most successful entertainment events in history, translated into 17 different languages and produced in 41 countries around the world. Now, after celebrating its 35th anniversary on the West End, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s astonishing spectacular is back at its inaugural home, Her Majesty’s Theatre London.
“The staging has never looked more spectacular.” — the Sunday Express.
The Phantom of the Opera London
Phantom is currently the second longest-running musical on the West End after Les Mis and was voted “The Best West End Musical of All Time” in a 2020 survey by the Independent. The show’s London iteration has won four Olivier Awards as well as the Evening Standard Award for Best Musical.
Internationally, The Phantom of the Opera has also received seven Drama Desk Awards, six Tony Awards, and five Outer Critics Circle Awards.
The most recent version of The Phantom of the Opera in London has been described by Douglas Mayo of British Theatre as “the closest I’ve seen it to perfect in many years”. Retaining all the charm and spectacle of previous performances, director Seth Sklar-Heyn brings warmth and humour to proceedings at Her Majesty’s Theatre — giving the show dynamic new depths.
The enduring tale remains the same, however; the shunned and tortured composer dwelling somewhere between dreams and a candle-lit lair deep beneath the Paris Opera House; the mysterious new ingenue, Christine, who accepts a dangerous gift from the “Angel of Music”; and the handsome young Vicomte whose love for Christine could spell both their downfall and the downfall of the entire Opera House itself.
Throughout, Charles Hart’s unforgettable Phantom of the Opera lyrics endure. The cast breathes fresh life into world-famous hits like Music of the Night, All I Ask of You, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, and Masquerade.

Critic reviews
A whole night of highlights
Lands as well today as it did back in 1986
Still an unparalleled spectacle
A beguiling blend of deft pastiche and full-blown romanticism
Lloyd Webber’s epic tearjerker is back in all its kitsch, gothic glory
There’s no question that it’s still wild, it’s still joyous, and it’s still deserved of its place as the pride of the West End
The cast were all wonderful with Killian Donnelly showing his diverse acting and singing talent
