Your child may be the next Phantom of the Opera - News & Giveaway!

I loved theater in high school but never pursued it further once I got into dance and softball because frankly, I was too busy but I am guessing that if there was a potential to be a part of something like Phantom of the Opera, I might have changed my priorities!

R&H Theatricals, an Imagem Company and a division of The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization (RHO), is proud to announce that high schools and colleges in the USA and Canada will soon be able to perform the most successful musical of all time, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. Applications to perform Andrew Lloyd Webber's international musical phenomenon are being accepted now for performances beginning September 1, 2010 at http://www.rnh.com/. If you teach at a school or think your child's school would be interested, please pass this information along!

During the 2007-8 academic year, PHANTOM was presented -- in full productions and in its entirety -- by two colleges and four high schools: Baldwin-Wallace College, Berea, Ohio; Elon University, Elon, North Carolina; Carroll Senior High School, Westlake, Texas; Nyack High School, Nyack, New York; Fairfield Senior High School, Fairfield, Ohio; and Capital High School, Charleston, West Virginia in anticipation of offering it to additional schools. You can see clips from their performances here!

Not only can schools now apply to produce PHANTOM at their schools, R&H Theatricals is excited to partner with the longest running Broadway and national tour productions of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, offering students the chance to see the legendary musical unfold on stage before mounting the show in their schools. To purchase group tickets for the Broadway production, please call 800-334-8457. The national tour is currently playing its final engagements in theatres across the country before closing in Los Angeles this fall. Future cities include Dayton (Schuster Center, June 9 - 27), Atlanta (Fox Theatre, June 30 - July 25), Cleveland (Playhouse Square, July 28 - August 22), Pittsburgh (Benedum Center, August 25 - September 19) and Los Angeles (Pantages Theatre, Performances begin September 23). For patrons interested in purchasing group tickets for the national tour, please contact mailto:ctourgroups@thephantomoftheopera.com.

In addition, to help get the word out to those that may be interested in seeing PHANTOM in their communities, Rogers & Hammerstein has provided a Broadway poster for a giveaway to raise interest in this great program and opportunity for high school and college students!
