Broadway’s longest-running blockbuster musical, now in its 25th year, returns to Johannesburg with a full South African cast.
Phantom of the Opera, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit, tells the story of a disfigured musical genius who, beneath the majesty and splendour of the Paris Opera House, lives a shadowy existence. He is shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all. But the love he has for his beautiful protégée, Christine Daaé, is so strong that she cannot help falling for him. The cast includes Jonathan Roxmouth, Angela Kilian and James Borthwick.
Teatro at Montecasino from January 31 until March 25. Book through Computicket. Tel: 011 510 7472.
