The Phantom of the Opera Returns to Cleveland
Andrew Lloyd Webber's legendary musical The Phantom of the Opera is coming back to Cleveland for a spectacular multi-week run at the KeyBank State Theatre at Playhouse Square. From April 14 through May 9, 2027, audiences will have 32 performances to experience Cameron Mackintosh's breathtaking new production of the longest-running show in Broadway history. This is not a stripped-down touring version — it is the revitalized production that stunned London critics when it reopened in 2021, featuring Maria Bjornson's brilliant original design and based on the celebrated direction of Harold Prince, with musical staging and choreography by Gillian Lynne.
The Phantom of the Opera is part of the 2026-2027 KeyBank Broadway Series at Playhouse Square, joining a powerhouse season that includes Death Becomes Her and Mamma Mia! among other major titles. For Cleveland theater fans, this is a rare chance to see one of the most iconic musicals ever created in one of America's most beautiful historic theaters. The story of the mysterious masked genius who lurks beneath the Paris Opera House, his obsession with the young soprano Christine, and the unforgettable score — "The Music of the Night," "All I Ask of You," "Think of Me," "The Phantom of the Opera" — has captivated more than 145 million people worldwide since its 1986 premiere.

About the KeyBank State Theatre at Playhouse Square
The KeyBank State Theatre is the crown jewel of Playhouse Square, the largest performing arts center in the United States outside of New York City. Designed by renowned theater architect Thomas W. Lamb and opened in 1921 as Loew's State Theatre, the building is a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance design with ornate plasterwork, gilded details, and the famous 320-foot series of three lobbies — once the longest single-theater lobby in the world. After a painstaking restoration completed in 1984, the State Theatre reopened as a world-class venue for Broadway tours, ballet, opera, and concerts. With a seating capacity of 3,200, it is the largest of the Playhouse Square theaters and one of the most stunning rooms in Cleveland. The intimate balcony levels and excellent acoustics make it an ideal home for a production as grand and technically demanding as The Phantom of the Opera.
Why This Production of Phantom Is Special
The Phantom of the Opera first premiered at Her Majesty's Theatre in London in 1986 and went on to become the longest-running show in Broadway history during its legendary 35-year run at the Majestic Theatre in New York. When Cameron Mackintosh reopened the show in London in 2021 with a revitalized new production, audiences and critics alike were blown away by how fresh and powerful the material felt with updated staging and technical enhancements while preserving the grandeur of the original. This is the production now touring North America — the iconic chandelier crash, the underground lake, the sweeping romantic tragedy — all brought to life with modern production values in a show that has grossed over $6 billion worldwide. Whether you are seeing Phantom for the first time or the fifth, this new touring production delivers the spectacle and emotional punch that made it a global phenomenon.
