Description:
Andrew Lloyd Webber's famous Broadway show has been redesigned for Las Vegas audiences, and the result was named the best Vegas show of 2006 by the Review-Journal.

From the Phantom - The Vegas Specatcular site:

Experience the world's most recognized musical theatre masterpiece, The Phantom of the Opera, as you've never seen it before. The Venetian Resort • Hotel • Casino is home to "Phantom - The Las Vegas Spectacular," an all-new production of the most influential musical of all time.

Phantom at The Venetian reunites Andrew Lloyd Webber, director Hal Prince, choreographer Gillian Lynne and others from the show's original creative team, who together reconceived their show into a 95-minute spectacular, including each and every song from the original production. From the moment you enter the magnificent custom-built theatre, you find yourself in the famed Paris Opera House immediately entranced in the Phantom's world.

By incorporating special effects and enhancements made possible today by modern technology into the timeless music and story of Phantom, new audiences and loyal fans alike will be awed by and all-new Phantom.

In anticipation of opening Phantom for the first time ever in Las Vegas, The Venetian employed David Rockwell, one of the most renowned designers of today, to design the $40 million custom-built theatre. Rockwell's legendary work includes the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles and Nobu Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The unique theatre was designed to create an ongoing sense of anticipation with a layout that literally surrounds the audience in action.
