Run of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical 'The Phantom of the Opera' at the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh.
The Phantom of the Opera comes to the Benedum Center on Wednesday, March 17, 2027, as part of the PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh season. It's a production that most of us recognize by name long before we've ever seen it in person, and for good reason—it's one of the most successful and longest-running musicals in theater history.
The story is set beneath the Paris Opera House, where a mysterious, masked figure known as the Phantom lives in the shadows. He develops an obsession with Christine, a talented young soprano, and spends the play manipulating her career and her heart from behind the scenes. It's a sweeping romance with a fair bit of drama, and the music is what really carries it: a score composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber that's become a staple of musical theater. If you've ever heard the big songs out of context, this is where they actually come from.
On stage, the production leans into the scale of the story. There are elaborate costumes and grand stage effects, and the set design is built to evoke the atmosphere of that underground opera house. It's a big, theatrical show that doesn't hold back on the spectacle, and it's presented here by PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh.
