The Phantom of the Opera (April 6)

If you still haven’t seen the world’s most popular musical The Phantom of the Opera, fret not as it is extended until this Saturday at The Theater at Solaire.

The musical first took Manila by storm when they had a run at the Cultural Center of the Philippines in 2012 with Claire Lyon as Christine Daae, Anthony Downing as Raoul and Jonathan Roxmouth as the titular Phantom of the Opera. The 2012 run of Phantom of the Opera began on August 16, 2012, and was supposed to end on September 16, 2012; but due to public demand, the show was extended twice.

Don’t miss the last chance to see Andrew Lloyd Webber’s biggest hit this year. Get your tickets now at TicketWorld.
