In honour of the award-winning musical's landmark 40th Anniversary at its original London home, His Majesty’s Theatre, a sensational international cast who have been put together to play for a special, limited birthday season. The 40th Anniversary cast will be led by Broadway star Jordan Donica as The Phantom and Beatrice Penny-Touré as Christine Daaé, with Rhys Whitfield returning to the production as Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny.

One of Phantom's most beloved Christines and one of Broadway’s great leading ladies, Sierra Boggess, who starred in the 25th Anniversary production at the Royal Albert Hall in London and also played Christine in Love Never Dies, is now returning as the Prima Donna, Carlotta, opposite Matt Bateman as Piangi. Sierra’s co-star from Love Never Dies, Joseph Millson, will play Monsieur André alongside Ian Pirie as Monsieur Firmin, with the much-loved Joanna Riding as Madam Giry and Millie Lyon as her daughter, Meg. At certain performances the role of Christine will be played by Colleen Rose Curran.

The brilliant original staging of Hal Prince, choreographed by Gillian Lynne, was revised for the post-Covid re-opening of the production in 2021 by Seth Sklar-Heyn and Chrissie Cartwright, and the original stage and costume design by the legendary Maria Björnson was restored and updated with even more spectacular effects by Matt Kinley and Jill Parker, dazzlingly lit by Andrew Bridge with associate lighting design by Warren Letton, sound by Mick Potter and Musical Supervision by Simon Lee.
