PHANTOM – Cameron Mackintosh’s spectacular new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has come to Jacksonville as part of a brand new North American Tour. It will be on stage at the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts February 10-21, 2016.

Critics are raving that this breathtaking production is “bigger and better than ever before” and features a brilliant new scenic design by Paul Brown, Tony Award®-winning original costume design by Maria Björnson, lighting design by Tony Award®-winner Paule Constable, new choreography by Scott Ambler, and new staging by director Laurence Connor. The production, overseen by Matthew Bourne and Cameron Mackintosh, boasts many exciting special effects including the show’s legendary chandelier. The beloved story and thrilling score – with songs like “Music of the Night,” “All I Ask Of You,” and “Masquerade” – will be performed by a cast and orchestra of 52, making this PHANTOM one of the largest productions now on tour.

On February 11th, members of the press were invited to take a look inside the new production of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. EU got a look at the Chandelier and iconic costumes with Stage Manager, Jovon Shuck and a chance to meet cast members, Katie Travis (Christine) and Storm Lineberger (Raoul).
