I created these guides so Phans have a central place for accurate, helpful information about seeing Phantom of the Opera — wherever it is playing. They are completely unofficial and not affiliated with any production, producer, or venue. Each guide below is its own page now, so you can go straight to the production you are traveling for.

Seeing Masquerade? Know who you're getting.

Masquerade casts six trios across six timeslots, and no two pulses give you the same show. My cast comparison is a five-question picker that hands you a pulse based on what you want from your Phantom, your Christine, and your final lair — plus full profiles of every trio and cover.

Making the costumes

If you are building a Christine of your own, the dressing gown is the friendliest place to start. How to Make Christine's Dressing Gown walks through the free Mood Fabrics pattern I adapted, the rose jacquard satin, the godet train, and the lace belt, with photos from the mockup through the finished gown.

Vicomte’s Voyage

Before Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera, the story of a man you think you know. Vicomte’s Voyage is my Raoul prequel, set at the French naval academy aboard the Borda.

US Tour, city by city

Every current and upcoming stop on the North American tour has its own page, with that venue, dates and on-sale status plus the ticketing, seating and what-to-wear sections you need for that city. They are all listed in the City-by-City section of the US Tour guide.

The full schedule through September 2027 is on the official tour site and in the US Tour guide.
