With an exciting new design and staging, retaining Maria Björnson´s amazing costumes, be the first to surrender to the music of the night and fall in love with the PHANTOM in his new guise all over again."
Earl Carpenter recently played the role of Javert in the West End production of LES MISÉRABLES and also played the role in the 25th Anniversary tour of the show. He has also played The Phantom in the West End production of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA as well as the starring role of Darryl Van Horne in THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK at the Prince of Wales Theatre, also in the West End.

Katie Hall was a boot camp contestant for the BBC1’s search for Nancy in ‘I’d Do Anything’ and was a final round contender for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s search for the Eurovision entry, ‘Your Country Needs You’, also for BBC1. After leaving the ‘I’d Do Anything’ competition she was immediately cast to cover the role of Christine in THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at Her Majesty’s Theatre and is now the alternate Christine in the production.
