Speaking about Phantom's reopening, producer Cameron Mackintosh said: "Putting the new version of the original Phantom production back into its perfect home Her Majesty's Theatre, 35 years after its premiere, is an unexpected thrill... This time around Her Majesty's Theatre will take even more of a starring role alongside our brilliant new cast."

The Phantom of the Opera sees a half-masked Phantom grow obsessed with Christine, a young soprano at Paris Opera House. The musical made its West End premiere at Her Majesty's Theatre in 1986, where it's enjoyed a continuous run ever since and is currently the second-longest running musical in London.

The Phantom of the Opera is at Her Majesty's Theatre from 27 July.
