The Phantom of the Opera Returns to Atlanta

Sharing is caring!

I first saw The Phantom of the Opera when I was in high school and my mom was offered a pair of tickets last minute. We didn't know what to expect, but we went with open minds. Little did we know that the show would be astounding and leave an impression on us that would last for years. Since that first show, I have seen the production 2 more times and my mom has seen it 3 times (including once in London!). We have also watched the movie version and own the soundtracks (both movie and Broadway production). When I found out that the show was coming to the Fox Theatre as part of its North American Tour, I wanted to shout it from the rooftops. The Phantom of the Opera will play at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre February 22 – March 5. Here is the performance schedule:

• Tuesday-Thursday         7:30 p.m.*
• Friday                           8 p.m.
• Saturday                       2 p.m., 8 p.m.
• Sunday                         1 p.m., 6:30 p.m.

*There will be a special 1 p.m. matinee on Thursday, February 23.
