About the show

Book The Phantom of the Opera at His Majesty’s Theatre (formerly Her Majesty’s). Andrew Lloyd Webber classic on Haymarket, about 2 hours 30 including interval.

Book The Phantom of the Opera tickets at His Majesty’s Theatre

The Phantom of the Opera is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s long-running West End classic at His Majesty’s Theatre (formerly Her Majesty’s), home to the chandelier, Masquerade and the story of the Phantom and Christine Daaé. Choose your date and official seats on the The Phantom of the Opera tickets page.

Now in its 40th West End year, the production still leans on Maria Björnson’s design language, Hal Prince’s staging lineage and a score that includes The Music of the Night, All I Ask of You and The Point of No Return. It remains one of the most booked romantic musicals on British Theatre.

What a Phantom evening at His Majesty’s Theatre feels like

Plan for about 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one interval. Expect candlelit atmosphere, big vocal moments and theatrical effects including the falling chandelier. His Majesty’s Theatre sits on Haymarket, a short walk from Piccadilly Circus, with plenty of pre-theatre food nearby. Arrive early: latecomers are admitted only at a suitable break, and the opening sequence sets the tone.
