The highly anticipated production certainly does not disappoint with lavish costumes, elaborate settings, brilliant sweeping camera movements and of course most amazing music and singing. Based on Gaston Leroux’s story where a masked madman who lives under the opera house falls in love with the captivating young soprano Christine.
The Andrew Lloyd Webber blockbuster has won over 70 major theatre awards, including seven Tony’s on Broadway and four Olivier Awards in the West End. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA became the longest running show in Broadway history on January 9, 2006 when it celebrated its 7,486th performance, surpassing the previous record holder “Cats”. On January 1, 2018 it celebrated its 13,000th performance and later that month on January 24, the Broadway production celebrated an amazing 30 years on Broadway.
“PHANTOM is undoubtedly a musical masterpiece. We are very excited to be able to bring the show back to Singapore for its many faithful fans, as well as for those who have never had the chance to see this legendary show,” said James Cundall, the Chief Executive Officer of Lunchbox Theatrical Productions and producers of the Asian tour of the production, which also visits Manila and Kuala Lumpur.
With 130 cast, crew and orchestra members, jaw-dropping scenery, breathtaking special effects and more than 230 costumes by the late international designer late Maria Björnson, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA contains some of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most famous and stirring music, including The Phantom of the Opera, Think of Me and Music of the Night. The original cast recording, with over 40 million copies sold worldwide, is the best-selling cast recording of all time.
“Base Entertainment Asia is proud to be presenting the most successful musical of all time in Singapore. PHANTOM has been phenomenally well-received for its brilliant casting, classic staging and sweeping romantic score wherever it has went and we are confident that it will continue to thrill audiences here,” said Chantal Prudhomme, the Chief Executive Officer of Base Entertainment Asia.
The two principal parts played by the talented and beautiful young soprano, Christine and the Phantom who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House, both doing a sterling job with their roles – Christines’ soaring soprano is absolutely on point when she hits the high notes, and the sheer power of the disfigured musical genius’s voice leaves the audience in no doubt that he is a strong and determined character fiercely in love. When both voices combine, the result is a pleasure to listen to.
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, which opened at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London’s West End on October 9, 1986, starred Michael Crawford as the Phantom and Sarah Brightman as Christine. It is produced by Cameron Mackintosh and The Really Useful Group. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is presented in Singapore by Base Entertainment Asia and produced by Lunchbox Theatrical Productions.
