Phantom of the Opera tickets are your passport to the creepiest, most romantic, most exciting evening of theater you have ever known! Andrew Lloyd Weber is the brilliant creator of such musicals as Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ, Superstar, and the unforgettable musical smash, Cats! However, most audiences agree that Lloyd Weber was at his absolute peak of genius when he wrote Phantom of the Opera.

Treat yourself to Phantom of the Opera tickets, and you'll see what everyone's raving about. You'll be mesmerized by the canals, where the Phantom steals Christine away on his boat. You'll be scared out of your seat when the chandelier--wait a minute, we don't want to ruin the surprise!

Phantom of the Opera Tickets as a Gift Phantom of the Opera tickets, whether for the Broadway production, a touring version, or the Las Vegas version, are an incredible gift. If your parents love to see shows in Las Vegas, they'll love these tickets. If your boss is crazy about Broadway theater tickets, buy him a couple and come out looking like a champ.

Tickets to Phantom are a gift they'll always remember. This exciting musical is so good, many theater lovers see it again and again. Whether you are seeing it for the first time, or the tenth, you'll love it!

The play Phantom of the Opera is an adaptation of the classical novel named Le Fantome de l'Opera authored by Gaston Leroux. The story revolves around a masked figure that creeps below the vaults of the Paris Opera House and frightens the people who come near. This masked figure falls in love with a young innocent singer named Christine and gives it his all and tries his best to help her to stardom.

The lead role features Carlotta whereas the young Christine has a smaller role which involves her taking lessons from the solitary and the disfigured Phantom. The phantom calls for Christine to be given the lead and when his demand is not fulfilled he manages in stealing Carlotta's voice and whisking Christine away to a mysterious lake that is beyond the theatre. There he expresses his undying love for Christine but she reveals that she's already in love with Raoul who is the wealthy patron of Opera. Meanwhile plots to capture the phantom are being devised. The rest of the play revolves around the continuous battle that goes on between Raoul and the Phantom for the love interest of Christine.

In October 1986, the play made its Broadway premier at Her Majesty's Theatre in London. The lead featured Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman. Harold Prince and Cameron Mackintosh were the director and the producer respectively. Since its inception it has had 16 productions, and has premiered in more than hundred cities in thirteen countries all over the world. The Phantom of the Opera that premiered in the late eighties on Broadway repeated the same cast. It made Webber the first ever composer who had three simultaneous musicals playing in London and also New York. The show was an instant success and became the 3rd third longest-running show in the history of Broadway following the Misrables and the Cats. It has made impressive box office collections of more than 3.2 billion dollars which is higher than any play or film to date. It marked its 20th anniversary in London on 9th of October 2006. Since the New York production has had over nine million spectators.

It has won critical acclaim and has gotten rave reviews. It has been rightfully honored with several awards including seven Tony Awards, seven Drama Desk Awards, three Outer Critics' Circle awards and also the Laurence Olivier and Evening Standard awards it name a few.

The main idea is basically grounded on a French novel that was not so popular. And although Webber's music is so romantic that it tends to sweep the audience off their feet but so does the other musicals. Still this play has received astonishing attention owing to its superb direction and narrative. The story line is a little complex and is not comprehendible by all who watch it. But the brilliant team makes it a treat to watch. From the actors to the extras everybody is brilliant. Presently it has been viewed by over a million people in New York, Madrid, Stuttgart, Japan and Denmark.
