With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart, and a book by Richard Stilgoe and Lloyd Webber, “Phantom of the Opera” premiered in 1986 in the West End and debuted on Broadway in 1988. Adapted from Gaston Leroux’s novel, the story revolves around a young soprano who becomes the muse and obsession of a mysterious masked man living beneath the Paris Opéra House.
Cameron Mackintosh, the original producer, has expressed intentions to bring the musical back to Broadway, as he mentioned both before and during the closing of the final Broadway performance in 2023. However, there has yet to be an official update on those plans.
