Book by Arthur Kopit Music and Lyrics by Maury Yeston
The mesmerizing Phantom is traditional musical theatre in the finest sense. The Tony-award winning authors have transformed Gaston Leroux' The Phantom of the Opera into an American musical sensation that enraptures audiences with beautiful songs and an expertly crafted story. Christine, an untrained street singer, is discovered by champagne tycoon Phillippe de Chandon and brought to the opera house. The deformed dweller of the crypts under the Paris Opera becomes obsessed with the lovely Christine because her extraordinary voice reminds him of his mother's. Riverland Theatre is proud to present Jamey Isenor, formerly of Blooming Prairie, in the title role of the Phantom.
"Rhapsodic music that entrances, moves and haunts...Richly satisfying...a welcome link to musical theatre's golden past."
