Seth Sklar-Heyn, who directed the London run, will be directing the upcoming US tour, with cast yet to be announced.

Producer Cameron Mackinstosh had this to say about the announcement:

"I'm really delighted to bring Andrew Lloyd Webber's 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 teamincluding Hal Prince, Gillian Lynne, and Maria Bjrnsonwere 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 revitalized Phantom in all its glory!"

More details will be announced soon, stay tuned for more.

What Is The Plot?

Hidden in the tunnels deep below the Paris Opera resides a deformed musical genius who stalks the halls and terrorizes the company from the rafters. With his half-covered by his famous white mask, his only happiness comes from tutoring the beautiful, orphaned chorus girl Christine Daae, with whom he has an enduring obsession. Unseen, he teaches the young ingenue to sing 'The Music of the Night.' As her 'Angel of Music', Christine blossoms and steps out of the chorus line onto center stage.

When Christine becomes engaged to another man, the Phantom is driven wild with jealousy and will stop at nothing to have her for himself, even resorting to murder. And so begins a tantalizing tale of forbidden love and supernatural adventure so exciting that over 130 million people worldwide have lost their hearts and minds to the drama.
