The New ‘Phantom Of The Opera’

Broadway’s longest running production, "The Phantom of The Opera" is playing in Orange County at Segerstrom Center for the Arts through Sunday, Aug. 16, 2015. The spectacular new production from Cameron Mackintosh is even thrilling Andrew Lloyd Webber for its new design and staging while continuing with Maria Björnson’s amazing costumes.
"The Phanton of The Opera" is performed by a cast and orchestra of 52, making this one of the largest productions on tour in North America.
Our Kelley Moody speaks with Jacquelynne Fontaine who plays Carlotta and Jovan Shuck, stage manager for the 2015 Phantom of the Opera tour. You can watch here.
Single tickets start at $39 and can be purchased online at SCFTA.org, the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling 714.556.2787.
