THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is widely considered one of the most beautiful and spectacular productions in history, playing to over 160 million people in 47 territories and 195 cities in 21 languages. Andrew Lloyd Webber s romantic, haunting, and soaring score includes The Music of the Night, All I Ask of You, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, Masquerade, and the iconic title song.
