About The Phantom of the Opera

The Phantom of the Opera is widely considered one of the most beautiful and spectacular productions in theater history. With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart (with additional lyrics by Richard Stilgoe), and a book by Lloyd Webber and Stilgoe, the musical is based on Gaston Leroux’s 1910 French novel. The story unfolds beneath the Paris Opera House in the 1880s, where a disfigured musical genius known as the Phantom has built a hidden kingdom in the building’s depths. When young soprano Christine Daé joins the chorus, the Phantom becomes her secret tutor, presenting himself as her “Angel of Music.” As Christine rises to stardom, the return of her childhood sweetheart Raoul ignites the Phantom’s jealous fury, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation of love, obsession, and redemption.

The musical premiered in London on October 9, 1986, at Her Majesty’s Theatre (now His Majesty’s Theatre), where it continues to play. It opened on Broadway on January 26, 1988, and ran for 35 years and 13,981 performances before closing on April 16, 2023 — the longest run in Broadway history. Worldwide, over 160 million people in more than 205 cities and 21 languages have experienced Phantom. The show won seven Tony Awards in 1988 including Best Musical. Lloyd Webber’s magnificent score — including “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Music of the Night,” “All I Ask of You,” “Think of Me,” “Masquerade,” and “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again” — remains among the most beloved in musical theater.

About This Production

This touring production is Cameron Mackintosh’s revitalized new staging, based on the version that reopened at His Majesty’s Theatre in London in 2021 to rapturous critical reception. Directed by Seth Sklar-Heyn based on the celebrated original direction by Harold Prince, with musical staging and choreography by Gillian Lynne (recreated and adapted by Chrissie Cartwright), the production features Maria Björnson’s brilliant original design with refined staging and enhanced technical elements. The legendary chandelier, the underground lake boat journey, the opulent masquerade ball, and the Phantom’s mysterious lair all unfold with breathtaking precision, powered by a full 14-musician orchestra and a 38-person cast. Andrew Lloyd Webber said of this tour: “The Phantom made it very clear that it would not be long before his legend would, once again, be told in America.”

Phantom’s Las Vegas History

This is not Phantom’s first time in Las Vegas. The city hosted a specially adapted resident production at The Venetian from 2006 to 2012, which ran for over six years in a purpose-built theater. That production was a shorter, 95-minute version without an intermission, designed specifically for the Las Vegas market. The 2026 touring production at The Smith Center is the full-length theatrical experience — approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes with intermission, a 38-person cast, and a 14-musician orchestra. For fans who loved the Venetian production or missed it entirely, this is the chance to experience Phantom in its complete, uncompromised glory right here in Las Vegas.
