Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic Broadway musical “The Phantom of the Opera” will be available to stream free of charge this weekend courtesy of the YouTube channel The Show Must Go On.
The streaming of Webber’s longest-running Broadway show is a part of series provided by The Show Must Go On and Webber’s licensing company Really Useful Group. According to Playbill, the shows are being streamed to help support theater organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic; including Actors Benevolent Fund, Acting for Others and Broadway Cares.
The Show Must Go On has already streamed Webber’s hit musicals “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”
“The Phantom of the Opera” will be available to view for 48 hours only (24 hours in the U.K.), starting on April 17 at 2 p.m. EST and will be a re-broadcast of the 2011 25th anniversary production from London’s Royal Albert Hall, produced by Cameron Mackintosh and starring Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo.
Viewers donations made during the “Phantom” stream will go to The Actors Fund.
