Andrew Lloyd Webber's much-loved musical The Phantom of the Opera has been captivating West End audiences for more than 35 years, picking up over 70 major theatre awards including 3 Olivers and 7 Tonys during its record-breaking run.

Beneath the splendour of the Paris Opera House lurks the legendary Phantom... a horribly scarred composer who lives a lonely existence in the bowels of the building because he's shamed by his ugly appearance.

But then he sees the beautiful chorus girl Christine and dares to venture upstairs to meet her, training her to sing the music of the night.

After falling hopelessly in love he discovers that she's already promised to another, and begins a campaign of terror to win her heart.

The West End's most stunning set

Her Majesty's Theatre houses one of the West End's most lavish sets. At one point the Phantom's boat glides across an underground lake with glowing candles rising up out of the misty water... and if you don't already know what happens to the gigantic chandelier that hangs precariously above the audience then we won't spoil the surprise!

BH I’ve seen this so many times over the years. I was lucky enough to see Michael Ball performing in the West End, which gives you a clue how old I am! I recently took my daughter and niece to see it, and I am happy to say that it is still as great as ever. I’m sure I will go again. (reply)
