The Vibe:London's longest-running musical, chandelier and all
Andrew Lloyd Webber's masterwork has played at His Majesty's Theatre since 1986, making it the second longest-running West End musical. Based on the 1910 French novel, the score includes 'The Music of the Night' and 'All I Ask of You' — now global standards.
The overture swells as the chandelier rises from the stalls to the ceiling. Gothic candelabra, swirling fog and costumed ensembles transform the Victorian auditorium into the Paris Opera's catacombs.
