“We are honoured to be able to host one of the world’s most iconic musicals at Dubai Opera and to be able to give audiences from across the region a chance to see the phenomenon first-hand. It has been fantastic to witness the incredible excitement for this show from fans near and far, and we’re delighted that this extension to the run will now give more people the opportunity to experience this out-of-this-world production,” said Jasper Hope, chief executive at Dubai Opera.

The show in Dubai will feaature 130 cast, crew and orchestra members, including a performance of The Phantom which will be played by one of musical theatre’s most exciting talents, Jonathan Roxmouth.
