It is a West End icon: the white half-mask that stares out of posters for Phantom of the Opera. For more than 30 years, it’s been papered across town – a mark of the phenomenal ongoing success of the second longest-running musical in theatre history. The Phantom of the Opera is very much still here.

Based on the eponymous French novel, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s mega-musical opened at Her Majesty’s Theatre in 1986. Flushed with the success of Jesus Christ Superstar and Cats, the high-flying composer had wanted to turn his hand to a high romance and, searching for a story to set to music, he alighted on this one by Gaston Leroux. It seemed perfect and, with Charles Hart’s dark-hearted lyrics, Michael Crawford’s menacing and alluring central performance and a spectacular staging by Broadway legend Hal Prince that still holds up even now, Phantom was born. In its first year, it won two Olivier Awards and it’s since won two more – both by public votes.

Set in Paris’ grand opera house in 1881, The Phantom of the Opera unravels the mystery of a supposedly haunted theatrical house. When the latest production is derailed, its star storming out after one too many mishaps, chorus member Christine Daaé is promoted to the leading role – only to be snaffled away to a secret chamber by the masked phantom, a grotesquely disfigured composer, who claims to have specifically selected her to sing his arias.

This is a story full of twists and turns as the Phantom’s jealousy spirals out of control, setting him against Christine’s managers and suitors in a series of ever-more elaborate plots that swell to a monstrous crescendo.

The score itself is soaring, however – inspired by opera, but infused with modern pop. The title track is a gothic organ number that sends a chill through your spine – Sarah Brightman’s original recording reached number 7 in the UK charts – but there are other musical delights in the mix too. The Phantom’s own number ‘The Music of the Night’ is as eerie as it is tender, while ‘All I Ask of You’ is an absolute melter of a love song. Book your Phantom of the Opera Tickets today!

Interpreti all'altezza. In merito alla posizione dei posti, noi eravamo in quelli più economici e a livello di acustica siamo rimasti soddisfatti, un pò meno come visuale ma ce lo aspettavamo (la parte più anteriore del palco non era visibile se non sporgendosi un pò ma comunque gli artisti non erano quasi mai così avanti). read less

His Majesty’s Theatre is a beautiful place, the history section in the program promoted further reading about the 300 year history of the site / theatre, fascinating, particularly the links to Handel. But the performance was obviously the highlight, outstanding as ever. As eye-wateringly expensive as West End tickets are it is simply worth it in my opinion. The size of the cast, the sets, props, effects, orchestra quality, the whole production just several levels up from everywhere else. Holly-Anne Hull was a great Christine with a beautiful voice, Matt Baker as Raoul was equally good. Kelly Glyptis as Carlotta had a truly incredible voice. Jon Robyn’s as The Phantom, not only a voice equal to the part but also, where others have failed, the acting talent! I really felt the torture and conflict in the character through his performance. The same is true of Holly-Anne, a really outstanding acting performance over and above the flawless beauty of the singing. The show is worth every penny and more. We’ve seen a few West End shows and this is on a par with the best we’ve seen. Thank you everyone involved. read less

The singing is great it has the best set of any show I’ve seen on the west end. I do agree that bits of it seem to be sped up which I don’t really get. I was the biggest fan of Killian Donnelly as the phantom and was sad to see him go. We had the interim phantom for one performance and I was gutted, he was no Killian. However, Jon Robyns has a brilliant voice and is so good at the phantom. My only pet peeve would be when people are late they bring them in during the overture which means you might have to get up or people walking in front of you which kind of ruins one of the best best bits. Wish they would stop doing that. Otherwise I love this production and it always always is a great way to spend an evening. read less

Staff were all lovely & a few people have said they were not aware when the interval was, well the clue is when they announce 20min interval and all the lights go up then that's when and the friendly person in the top bar told us the time it restarted. The bar was good to stretch your legs before the show started & during the interval. Great security checking all bags with very little delay. Singers were all absolutely fantastic, the cast as a whole equally so, special effects brilliant, sound and lighting superb. If you haven't seen it then I would book tickets ASAP because I believe it is closing early next year. The 3rd photo of the bars in the bar is where the cast practice before the show, rolling back the carpet then down a door to the stage.11/10 ❤️ read less

From the moment we arrived at His Majesty's Theatre it felt special, what a beautiful theatre, friendly staff and plenty of leg room in the stalls (row H). Our view was incredible and we didn't miss a thing. I've been to the theatre both in the UK and the US a lot in the past but I can honestly say that this set design, stage management, performances and overall production were the very best, absolutely mind-blowing! Thank you to the cast for a night we will always remember! Just a note about other audience members: the man next to me filmed about 20 minutes of the first half on his phone, which was quite distracting and he wasn't challenged by staff, and the guests to the other side talked a lot and also weren't asked to stop. Minor distractions though that didn't spoil it for us. read less
