  • Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cameron Mackintosh are delighted to announce the return of The Phantom of the Opera, to its home and birthplace, Her Majesty’s Theatre from 27th July.
    The spectacular production will star double Olivier Award nominee, Killian Donnelly as The Phantom, Lucy St. Louis as Christine Daaé and Rhys Whitfield as Raoul.

    Far beneath the majesty and splendour of the Paris Opera House, hides the Phantom in a shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, the love he holds for his beautiful protégée Christine Daaé is so strong that even her heart cannot resist.
    The musical opened at Her Majesty’s Theatre on 9 October 1986 with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the leading roles, and there have been dozens of productions worldwide since then. Now in its 30th record-breaking year, The Phantom of the Opera continues to captivate audiences at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London’s West End, after more than 11,000 performances.
    Andrew Lloyd Webber’s mesmerizing score along with jaw-dropping scenery and breathtaking special effects, magically combine to bring this tragic love story to life each night.

      She was a last minute hire after so many people displayed their unhappiness with the production (and especially the orchestra) being cut down. If this didn’t happen, one of the white girls from the tour would have been cast (they’re now understudying Lucy).

      @@tarinblanding1584 I'm sorry but not sorry, exactly the same thing applies to poc being cast in to white people's roles. Christine Daae is written to be from Sweden originally. Poc shouldn't get offended when they aren't cast as native Swedish people. So a white person can't be cast as a native African, same applies the other way. It's got nothing to do with trying to upset, exclude or offend people.

      I don’t want to ruin this to you, but this actress was a last minute hire.
      Phans worldwide were protesting against the change of the production and cut orchestra, on top of Mackintosh’s blatant mistreatment of his employees. (He fired a veteran of 30 years in the show on the West End, who played the role of M. Reyer).
      People were calling out CamMack for his behaviour and were planning to boycott the show.
      What to do to make people forget about it? Political correctness. If they really wanted to make the role diverse they would have done it years ago.
      If this scandal didn’t happen, or at least if the public didn’t protest, you bet that they would cast another white actress in it. Most likely the two from the tour, as they’re Lucy’s understudy RN.
      So yeah, the diversity here has an ugly price. Do whatever you want with this information.
