The show is a hilarious spoof of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, the Gaston Leroux novel and the entire ‘Phantom’ phenomenon. Comical twists and turns about and the Phantom, and his unreliable chandelier, taunt Madame Carlotta and the opera staff while dear Christine becomes obsessed with the man behind the mask.

Seating is cabaret-style and audiences are invited to bring their own food and drink to enjoy during the performance.
