The Phantom of the Opera

	Deep beneath the Paris Opera House lives a tortured man who terrorizes the theatre by becoming The Phantom of the Opera. He falls in love with a chorus girl, Christine Daae, and is secretly training her to be the star of the opera. But Christine is in love with another man and as the "Opera Ghost" threatens and terrorizes the theatre managers and others, they agree to go along with an opera he has written, hoping to capture him. Chaos ensues and the Phantom gives Christine a final choice - stay with him or watch the man she loves die. This production is filled with fantasy, spectacle and haunting melodies.
