Follow the Phantom: Opening Night

Go behind the scenes of Wright State University’s sold-out production of The Phantom of the Opera.

In the final episode of the Follow the Phantom series, Casey Jordan, the junior musical theatre major playing the Phantom, shares his excitement about the show’s opening night. We also visit the entire cast during their final dress rehearsal to see the show in all its glory.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s gothic musical tells the story of a twisted musical genius and his dangerously obsessive love for the young soprano capable of giving life to his songs. Winner of seven Tony Awards, the The Phantom of the Opera is currently the longest-running show on Broadway.

Wright State’s production plays May 10–27, 2012. The show is currently sold out for its entire 15-performance run.
