The masked maestro is sliding back into town. "The Phantom of the Opera" returns to San Francisco next week, raising the curtain at the Orpheum Theatre on May 28, for a downtown run through June 21. The Cameron Mackintosh-produced touring staging brings back the full spectacle, from the sweeping music and ornate costumes to the signature chandelier, with a calendar of evening performances and weekend matinees aimed at both longtime fans and curious newcomers.
According to BroadwaySF, Cameron Mackintosh's revitalized production is set for May 28 through June 21 at the Orpheum Theatre and runs about 2 hours and 45 minutes, including one intermission. Tickets are available through BroadwaySF and the show's ticket partner, ATG Tickets. ATG San Francisco's Facebook post has been promoting the engagement this week.
What To Expect From The New Tour
Per the show's official U.S. tour page, this staging restores Maria Björnson's original scenic and costume designs and follows the production's London reopening in 2021. The San Francisco run is positioned as one of the early stops on the multi-year North American tour. The Phantom of the Opera notes that the production opened on tour last fall and brings back much of the original visual spectacle. The touring company is traveling with a large orchestra and cast to recreate the score's full, dramatic sound as presented in the new production.
Casting And Local Logistics
Principal casting for the North American tour has been announced publicly, with Isaiah Bailey as the Phantom, Jordan Lee Gilbert as Christine Daaé and Daniel Lopez as Raoul, among other principals. For showtimes, pricing and booking options, theatergoers are encouraged to use the presenting organization's box office or other authorized ticket sellers.

Tickets and performance details are posted through BroadwaySF, which also outlines group and accessibility information for Orpheum patrons. Seating maps and specific session times are listed on ATG Tickets, while the Orpheum's listing on Ticketmaster highlights runtime and house policies such as age guidelines.
