About the show

The Phantom, who dwells in the theatre's underground lair, uses his musical genius to guide Christine to stardom, but his jealousy and possessiveness trigger a series of chilling events. This highlights edition retains beloved songs such as "Think of Me", "The Music of the Night", and "All I Ask of You", allowing audiences to experience themes of love, sacrifice, and redemption in a tight, fast-paced format — ideal for those new to the musical.
