Overview
- The national tour opened at Baltimore’s Hippodrome following previews, with performances in at least 13 U.S. cities scheduled through August 30, 2026.
- Isaiah Bailey stars as the Phantom with Jordan Lee Gilbert as Christine, in a company produced by Cameron Mackintosh and The Really Useful Group and directed by Seth Sklar-Heyn.
- The staging restores Maria Björnson’s original design and re-creates the Harold Prince and Gillian Lynne blueprint, drawing on updates proven in the current London production.
- Baltimore’s engagement has been largely sold out, and the producers describe the tour as a multi-year undertaking.
- Touring systems have been modernized with new video, lighting, and sound; the production moves on at least 18 semi-trucks and features a reimagined chandelier effect that no longer flies.
