Every production playing outside the US and the West End, production family by production family.
International productions: Spain, Japan, Germany, Netherlands, Romania, Serbia, Norway, Hungary, Czechia, Bulgaria, plus Mexico and Australia in the archive · Latest update: September 30, 2026
I created this guide so Phans have a central place for accurate, helpful information on where to see Phantom around the world. It is completely unofficial and not affiliated with any of the productions listed. It centralizes information from official sources, local press, and box office listings across thirteen countries; some sources required translation from Spanish, Japanese, Korean, German, Dutch, Romanian, Serbian, Norwegian, Hungarian, Czech, and Bulgarian. Every effort was made to confirm details through official production and venue channels. Where something could not be confirmed, I have flagged it rather than guessed. Where I have seen a production myself, the section is marked, and those sections will keep growing with firsthand detail.
This guide covers thirteen countries outside the US, UK, and the immersive Masquerade NYC production (those have their own guides). For each country you'll find: production status, venue and city, the producing company, cast where it's known, how to get tickets, what language the show is performed in, and anything notable about that staging.
Sections marked "Seen in person" reflect firsthand experience on top of official sources, the same way my Masquerade and US Tour guides do. The rest are built from official production channels, local press, and box office listings, translated where needed. Firsthand sections will keep expanding as I travel.
Every production in this guide belongs to one of four "families," and knowing which one you're booking changes what you'll see:
1. Replica (the classic staging). The original Harold Prince direction with Maria Björnson's designs, the version that ran on Broadway for 35 years. Japan's Shiki company has performed it since 1988, and Rotterdam's 2028 production is being built as a replica of the original 1986 London production. With Broadway closed and the West End running its own updated iteration, these are among the few places left to see classic Phantom.
2. Bellone (the reimagined touring production). Director Federico Bellone's production premiered in English in July 2023 at the Politeama Rossetti in Trieste, Italy, produced by Broadway Italia, with Ramin Karimloo in the title role. It played Milan and the Opéra de Monte-Carlo that same year. A Spanish-language version opened in Madrid in September 2023, produced by LETSGO in partnership with Amigos Para Siempre, the company Andrew Lloyd Webber and Antonio Banderas formed in 2022, with West End alum Gerónimo Rauch originating the Phantom. Madrid closed in April 2025 after two sold-out seasons, and the production now lives on as Spain's national tour and the Mexico City production, with the same staging and creative team in both countries.
3. Mackintosh Restaged (the newer touring production). Cameron Mackintosh's reimagined production, created with Matthew Bourne and based on Laurence Connor's direction, which has been rolling out internationally around the show's 40th anniversary. Cologne is the German premiere of this version, following its Vienna run.
4. Non-Replica (fully original local stagings). Licensed productions where the local creative team builds everything from the ground up: new direction, new sets, new design. Hungary's Madách production is one of the most famous non-replicas in the world. Bucharest's National Opera production (Gary McCann sets, Răzvan Ioan Dincă direction) and Belgrade's Terazije staging (Aleksandar Denić sets, Jug Radivojević direction) are also in this family. So is Sofia's National Musical Theatre production, and Plzeň's 2027 staging will be too. Norway's 2027 revival is billed as a re-staging and most likely belongs here too, though the production hasn't confirmed details yet. Australia's closed Sydney Harbour spectacular was also an original staging in this family, and the only outdoor Phantom ever mounted. For phans who collect productions, non-replicas are the reason to travel: each one is a version of Phantom that exists nowhere else.
Casts listed here are current as of this guide's last update. Every production notes that covers, alternates, and swings can go on at any performance. Repertory houses (Bucharest, Belgrade, Budapest) release dates in batches rather than announcing a full run in advance, so "no future date listed" doesn't always mean a show has closed.
The International Tour is the production most people mean when they say "the World Tour." It is the replica staging that has been traveling since 2024, and in fall 2026 it finishes its China leg. This is a separate production from the North American Tour and separate again from the West End at His Majesty's Theatre. If you are trying to figure out which Phantom you are looking at, the International Tour is the one currently touring China. It is a slightly different version of the replica production from the North American Tour and the West End as it was originally produced before 2021, however all of these productions are influencing one another.
Fall 2026 is the final stretch of the China leg. It finishes in Shanghai with a limited season built around Phantom's 40th anniversary, billed as the grand finale of the largest Mainland China tour the production has ever staged, which began back in 2024.
Three cities carry the fall leg:
Before China the tour played Taiwan in spring 2026: Kaohsiung's Weiwuying (March 31 to April 12), the Taipei Performing Arts Center (April 21 to May 17) and the National Taichung Theater (May 26 to June 7), 64 performances in all.
The Shanghai season runs 80 performances across roughly 10 weeks. It closes out the China leg, and it's the stop most fans are trying to reach.
The tour doesn't end in Shanghai. After the China leg it takes a brief hiatus, then continues on to other parts of the world. Lloyd Webber's company confirmed the route on 9 October 2026, the fortieth anniversary of the London opening.
Abu Dhabi, 10 to 28 March 2027. The International Tour makes its Abu Dhabi debut at Etihad Arena on Yas Island. Tickets are banded from AED 240 up to AED 740, and children aged 5 and under are not admitted.
Italy, a nationwide tour in 2027. Milan 9 to 25 April, Trieste 30 April to 9 May, Rome 20 May to 6 June, Bologna 9 to 13 June, Genoa 17 to 20 June. The announcement does not say which staging Italy gets, so I am not calling it replica or non-replica until it does.
Rotterdam, from March 2028. The tour is booked into the Nieuwe Luxor.
Manila and Hong Kong are rumored as future stops but haven't been announced. I'll add dates here as they're confirmed.
The biggest news for this leg is that Ramin Karimloo returns to the role of The Phantom for the Shanghai season. His casting is tied directly to the 40th anniversary celebration, and it is the reason the Shanghai finale carries the weight it does. Samuel Wyn-Morris plays The Phantom at certain Shanghai performances, and he leads the Wuhan and Chengdu stops.

If you followed the tour earlier in its run, the fall principals will read as a noticeable turnover. Grace Roberts as Christine, Rory McCollum as Raoul, and Marni Raab as Madame Giry all finished their contracts on June 7, 2026. That departure date is why the finale cast is built around new names, with Karimloo brought in specifically for the anniversary season in Shanghai.
The same Federico Bellone production that ran in Madrid and Italy/Monte Carlo was brought to Mexico City by veteran producer Morris Gilbert (OCESA), opening November 6, 2025 at the newly remodeled Teatro de los Insurgentes. This was the first Phantom in Mexico City in about 25 years.
Closed. The final performance was Sunday, September 20, 2026, after roughly 300 performances and repeated extensions since opening. At the last curtain call Edward Salles proposed to Lina de la Peña, his Christine, on stage. No Mexican tour has been announced; the producer's site still shows the old weekly schedule, so don't read anything into that. This section stays as an archive entry because I saw it.
Teatro de los Insurgentes, Av. de los Insurgentes Sur 1587, San José Insurgentes, Mexico City. Produced by Morris Gilbert / OCESA, using the Bellone staging with musical direction by Julio Awad.

Wednesday to Friday at 8:00 pm; Saturday at 5:00 pm and 8:30 pm; Sunday at 1:00 pm and 5:30 pm. Runtime is about 2 hours 30 minutes with an intermission.
Performed in Spanish. Reviews of the production credit the translation to Álvaro Cerviño, the same Spanish adaptation used in the original 1999 Mexico City staging, which means the Mexican production sings different lyrics than the Spain tour (which uses the Silvia Montesinos adaptation). Pre-opening press had credited Montesinos here too, but that appears to have been recycled from the Spain materials. If you saw the 1999 production, the lyrics will feel like coming home.
Spain has a new, reimagined production directed by Federico Bellone. It started as a resident show at the UMusic Hotel Teatro Albéniz in Madrid, where it ran two sold-out seasons and drew more than 300,000 spectators before closing for good on April 20, 2025. From there it became Spain's first-ever national Phantom tour, hitting more than 20 cities.
Running (touring). The tour extends into January 2027 and ends in the Canary Islands. Stops on sale, per the producer's tour page:
Gran Canaria (Las Palmas) is listed as "coming soon" for January 2027 with a newsletter sign-up only; no venue or on-sale date yet. Cartagena and Jerez de la Frontera, which were on the autumn schedule, are no longer on the producer's tour page and both venues have other shows booked on those dates.

Gekidan Shiki (the Shiki Theatre Company) has performed Phantom in Japan since its 1988 Japanese premiere, using the classic Harold Prince staging. Per Shiki's own numbers, the show has drawn roughly 8 million cumulative attendees across more than 8,000 performances, making it Shiki's third most-performed title behind The Lion King and Cats.
Running as an open-ended long run in Nagoya.

This is Cameron Mackintosh's reimagined "new production" of Phantom (created with Matthew Bourne, based on Laurence Connor's original direction), and it's the German premiere of this specific staging. It's also the first time Phantom has played a German stage in over a decade. The production follows a successful run in Vienna at the Raimund Theater and moves into the Musical Dome after Moulin Rouge! relocates to Hamburg. The timing lines up with the 40th anniversary of the original London production.
Upcoming. Previews begin November 5, 2026. Official German premiere is November 15, 2026.
Musical Dome Köln, Cologne, which also marks its own 30th anniversary in 2026. Produced by ATG Entertainment Germany.

A large-scale, homegrown production at the Bucharest National Opera (Opera Națională București), directed by Răzvan Ioan Dincă and conducted by ONB director Daniel Jinga. It first premiered March 31, 2023 and has become a signature ONB event, performed with a live 70-member orchestra.

Serbia has had two separate Phantom productions. The one that's ongoing is the resident Serbian-language staging at Pozorište na Terazijama (Theatre on Terazije), the first Balkan production of the show, which premiered in October 2017 and is directed by Jug Radivojević. A separate English-language touring production (Broadway Entertainment Group) played a limited season at Belgrade's Sava Centar in April 2025, but that engagement has closed.
The Terazije Serbian-language production is in repertory but not currently scheduled. It returned after a pause, played performances in late November 2025 (the 29th and 30th) and into spring 2026. The theatre's published repertoire runs only through September 27, 2026 and doesn't include it; October hasn't been posted. Terazije releases dates in rolling batches, so check back.
Pozorište na Terazijama, Belgrade, produced in arrangement with The Really Useful Group Ltd. (The closed 2025 English-language run was at Sava Centar, produced by Broadway Entertainment Group with local organizers Ticket Vision and Locals Experience.)

Phantom returns to the Netherlands for the first time in nearly 35 years, staged as a replica of the original 1986 London production. That makes Rotterdam a genuinely important entry on this list: with Broadway closed and the West End running its own updated iteration, this will be one of the few places in the world to see the classic staging. It's also a homecoming project: producer Iris van den Ende's father originally brought Phantom to the Netherlands.
Upcoming, not yet running. Opens March 2028 at the Nieuwe Luxor Theater in Rotterdam. Lloyd Webber's company confirmed the month on 9 October 2026, listing Rotterdam as the stop the International Tour plays after Abu Dhabi and Italy. Ticket sales are expected to open sometime in 2027. Auditions drew nearly 1,400 musical and opera performers, described by creative director Maurice Wijnen as a bigger response than even The Lion King saw.
Nieuwe Luxor Theater, Rotterdam, with weekly performances Thursday through Sunday once the run begins. Produced by MediaLane Theater (CEO Iris van den Ende) in collaboration with LW Entertainment (CEO James McKnight) and GWB Entertainment.
Not yet cast or announced.
Not yet on sale. Fans can join the "De Front Row" membership program for €30 in ticket credit and guaranteed presale access, through luxortheater.nl or phantominluxor.nl.
Confirmed by the producer to be performed in Dutch.
Hungary's long-running production plays at the Madách Theatre (Madách Színház), directed by Tamás Szirtes, and it's one of the most famous non-replica productions of Phantom in the world. This is not the Prince staging and not a licensed copy of it: the Madách built its own direction, sets, and design from the ground up, which is exactly why phans who collect productions make the trip to Budapest. It has now passed its 1,000th performance and continues to play to full houses, making it one of the longest-running Lloyd Webber titles at the Madách alongside Cats.
In active repertory; the next run is November 27 – December 12, 2026: Friday November 27 at 19:00, weekends at 15:00 and 19:00, then Tuesday to Saturday evenings through December 12, all on sale. Nothing is posted for January or February 2027 yet. Like Bucharest and Belgrade, the Madách releases performance dates in batches through its season programming rather than publishing a long advance calendar, so check current listings rather than assuming a gap means the show has closed.

A licensed Bulgarian-language production at the National Musical Theatre "Stefan Makedonski" in Sofia, directed by Plamen Kartalov. It premiered January 25, 2019 and stays in the repertory.
Closed. The production ran in repertory from its January 2019 premiere, and the last dates on sale were 27 to 29 October 2026. The theatre has no further performances listed, and it stays here as an archive entry.

Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour (HOSH) is Opera Australia's annual outdoor spectacular, performed on a floating stage over the water at Fleet Steps, Mrs Macquaries Point, with the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge as the backdrop. When Phantom joined the series in 2022, it became the first major outdoor production in the show's history. The production returned in 2026 for the show's 40th anniversary, so it has now had two seasons, both directed by Simon Phillips with set and costume design by Gabriela Tylesova and lighting by Nick Schlieper, the same team behind the Australian production of Love Never Dies.
Closed. Two seasons have been staged: March 25 to April 24, 2022, and March 27 to May 3, 2026. The 2026 season was extended and had seats added to every performance due to demand. No future season has been announced, but HOSH rotates titles annually and has now brought Phantom back once, so a third season someday is plausible. Watch opera.org.au for future HOSH announcements.
Fleet Steps, Mrs Macquaries Point, Sydney, on a purpose-built over-water stage. Produced by Opera Australia as part of the Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour series, supported by Destination NSW and the International Foundation for Arts and Culture.

Jake Lyle's casting is a genuine Cinderella story: a 22-year-old classical voice student discovered during ensemble auditions and cast in the title role for his professional musical theatre debut. Amy Manford previously played Christine on the West End and the Australian in-theatre tour, and Jarrod Draper — Raoul — is a Wiradjuri man and the first Indigenous graduate of WAAPA's music theatre course.
Performed in English.
A Korean-language production plays Seoul over the winter, announced by Lloyd Webber's company on 9 October 2026 as part of the fortieth anniversary. Korea has a long history with this show and a deep bench of musical theatre performers, and Korean productions are usually sung in Korean with the original staging intact.
Running 22 December 2026 to 28 February 2027, exclusively at Blue Square Woori Bank Hall in Seoul.
Blue Square Woori Bank Hall, in the Hannam neighborhood of Yongsan, is one of Seoul's main musical houses.
Korean.
Not announced in the anniversary announcement. I'll add the company here when it is published.
Korean runs usually sell through Interpark and the venue, and casting rotates, so check which principals are scheduled for your date before you book.
