New York City
Based on the 1911 novel The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux, Phantom tells the story of the relationship between the mysterious Phantom Erik played by Ken Priess and his soprano ingenue Christine Daae played by Ashley Stricker. Not to be confused with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s, this version, with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and book by Arthur Kopit is more character driven and features a more classic musical score.
