Phantom of the Opera Revival Ticket Info Expected This Month

A new note from the famed Opera Ghost indicates that a new New York production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera is inching closer to fruition, two years after the show closed on Broadway.

Although the details are scarce in the enigmatic letter released to the press by the O.G., it looks like the forthcoming production will be presented at a venue on West 57th Street. "It is here that I shall present a grand Masquerade, a spectacle that will astound you and that further explores my legend," the letter reads. "I have instructed my minion Lloyd Webber to assist."

As previously reported, an immersive production of Phantom of the Opera has been teasing its arrival for several months now, beckoning "phans" far and wide with Easter eggs and hints both online and around New York City. Some of the first major clues came with the debut of the show's official Instagram account, which first posted a simple note in cursive on bright-red parchment, reading: "Have you missed me?" Not long after, the account collaborated with Andrew Lloyd Webber's official account to share a video in which the prolific composer opens a note from the Opera Ghost himself announcing his return. The Phantom even made an appearance at last weekend's Tony Awards.

After 35 history-making years, Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, the longest-running show in Broadway history, offered its final "Masquerade" April 16, 2023, at the Majestic, now home to the Audra McDonald-led revival of Gypsy.

The Phantom of the Opera has music by Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart (with additional lyrics by Richard Stilgoe), and a book by Stilgoe and Lloyd Webber. The Broadway production also featured musical staging and choreography by Gillian Lynne, scenic and costume design by Maria Björnson, lighting design by Andrew Bridge, and sound design by Martin Levan with David Caddick as music director. Cameron Mackintosh and Lloyd Webber's The Really Useful Group served as producers. The late Harold Prince directed.
