The long-running West End musical welcomed an entirely revamped company for the first time in 35 years ahead of its triumphant return to Her Majesty s Theatre last night.
It was forced to shut for the first time last year due to the pandemic.
Olivier Award-nominee Killian Donnelly plays the Phantom alongside Lucy St Louis as opera singer Christine Daae – marking the first time a black actor has starred in the role either in London or on Broadway.
Pictures show Donnelly s Phantom in the shadows as Christine embraces Raoul, played by Rhys Whitfield. Producer Sir Cameron Mackintosh, 74, called the show a completely new version of the original, which was tried out at the Curve in Leicester last February.
