Overview
- The company announced the 40th anniversary cast on Monday, June 29, 2026, naming Jordan Donica as the Phantom and Beatrice Penny‑Touré as Christine.
- Principal engagement windows are specified: Donica begins September 8 and continues into spring 2027, Penny‑Touré starts in late August and runs through July 24, 2027, and Rhys Whitfield and Sierra Boggess are scheduled for runs from early August through November 21, 2026.
- The season is a limited birthday engagement at His Majesty’s Theatre produced by Cameron Mackintosh with LW Entertainment and features a large international ensemble of supporting players.
- The production restores Hal Prince’s original staging and Maria Björnson’s set and costume design, updated for the post‑Covid reopening by Seth Sklar‑Heyn, Chrissie Cartwright, Matt Kinley, Jill Parker and the credited creative team.
- Cameron Mackintosh framed the season as both a celebration and a commercial moment that could draw new, younger audiences and sustain multi‑generational interest as performances extend into mid‑2027; the October 9 anniversary performance is currently not on sale.
