After more than six years and
nearly 2,700 performances, Phantom—The Las Vegas Spectacular will end its
historic run at The Venetian on September 2, 2012. This stunning theatrical spectacle will never
be seen again once the final curtain closes in Las Vegas. Tickets for all remaining performances are on
sale now.
“All involved are very proud
of the success that Phantom has achieved here in Las Vegas at The Venetian,”
says Scott Zeiger, co-CEO of BASE Entertainment, the show’s co-producer. “Since
opening night, critics and fans alike have recognized this production of
Phantom is unlike any they have ever seen, or will ever see again. We’ve had a
triumphant run by any measure.”
Featuring every beloved
Andrew Lloyd Webber song from the original, this lavish production of
Phantom—The Las Vegas Spectacular thrills audiences six nights a week at The
Venetian, in a unique and magnificent custom built replica of the famed Paris
Opera House. The production is directed by 21-time Tony Award winner Hal
Prince, the show’s original director, and guided by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
“The Las Vegas production of
Phantom took all of the classic elements of the show and added unique aspects
that created a whole new experience,” said Lloyd Webber. “It enjoyed remarkable
success in Las Vegas, was enjoyed by millions of fans and proved that a
timeless love story told in a fantastic theater will always be in vogue.”
“For six years Phantom—The
Las Vegas Spectacular has provided guests and fans with an amazing experience
in our exceptional theatre,” said John Caparella, president and COO of The
Venetian, The Palazzo and Sands Expo.
“The Venetian has always been committed to bringing our visitors
top-notch entertainment and Phantom certainly fit that bill. We look forward to sharing our new
entertainment offerings with everyone very soon."
The Toronto Sun said, “Even
if you think you've seen The Phantom of the Opera before, believe me, you've
never seen it like this.” USA Today called it, “An only-in-Vegas thrill ride!”
The Arizona Republic described Phantom as, "Bigger than ever. An
over-the-top, 95-minute spectacle."
