New multi-year North American tour for THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA announced

Cameron Mackintosh has announced that the revitalised production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera, featuring Maria Björnson’s brilliant original design, which was rapturously received by London critics when it reopened in 2021, will launch a new multi-year North American tour in November 2025.

Both the acclaimed new London production of The Phantom of the Opera, at its birthplace His Majesty’s Theatre, and the forthcoming North American Tour are directed by Seth Sklar-Heyn, based on the celebrated original direction by Harold Prince with choreography by Gillian Lynne, recreated and adapted by Chrissie Cartwright.

The new North American tour of The Phantom of the Opera will premiere at the Hippodrome Theatre in Baltimore, MD. Additional tour cities and casting will be announced at a later date.

Cameron Mackintosh said: "I'm really delighted to bring Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera back to thrill American audiences once again after its phenomenal record-breaking run on Broadway. When I unveiled this new production in London after the pandemic, many of our brilliant original creative team, including Hal Prince, Gillian Lynne, and Maria Björnson, were sadly no longer with us. Our exciting new team, inspired by their predecessors’ glorious work, updated certain aspects of the production that resulted in a dazzlingly fresh version of the much-loved original, which was rapturously received by audiences and critics alike. So, in just a year’s time, when we raise our even more sensational chandelier, you can once again thrill to Andrew’s soaring music of the night and be swept away by a revitalised Phantom in all its glory!”

Andrew Lloyd Webber said today, “The Phantom made it very clear that it would not be long before his legend would, once again, be told in America. While Hal, Gillie, and Maria are, sadly, no longer with us, they live on in the show we all created together. Love, passion, and live theatre are what The Phantom of the Opera is all about. I still get goosebumps every time that chandelier comes alive and infuses the theatre with something that only happens when design, direction, and music are completely at one. I am absolutely delighted that we are bringing this very special production back to audiences across North America.”
