Phantom - 25th Anniversary Spectacular

25 years since the Phantom first graced the stage in London, Cameron Mackintosh has announced that he will present Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera In Concert at the Royal Albert Hall for a special three night engagement in October.

This lavish, fully staged production of Phantom will star Ramin Karimloo as ‘The Phantom’ and Sierra Boggess as ‘Christine’. They will be joined by Barry James as ‘Monsieur Firmin’, Gareth Snook as ‘Monsieur André’, Liz Robertson as ‘Madame Giry’ and Wynne Evans as ‘Piangi’ together with a cast and orchestra of over 200 and some special guest appearances.

Sir Cameron Mackintosh said “It is amazing to think that the extraordinary success of The Phantom
of the Opera is about to celebrate 25 years."

The Phantom of the Opera became the longest running show in Broadway history on 9 January
2006 when it celebrated its 7,486th performance, surpassing the previous record holder “Cats”. This
coincided with the Broadway and the US national touring company celebrating an unprecedented
20,000 performances in the United States. In October 2010 the London production celebrated its
10,000th performance.

Worldwide, The Phantom of the Opera has grossed over £3.2 billion. The box office revenues
are higher than any film or stage play in history, including "Titanic", "ET" and "Star Wars". It has
been seen in 145 cities in 27 countries and played to over 100 million people.
