- A giant chandelier. Massive set pieces. Nearly two dozen trucks and numerous stagehands. Hundreds of costumes and wigs. An Elephant. A little dry ice and pyrotechnics. These are but a few of the iconic elements which all go into the most thrilling theatrical experience in Broadway history...and Broadway/L.A. takes you on a backstage look at the load-in process for the Farewell Engagement of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. (By the way...if you watch closely, you might just catch a glimpse of "Box 5"!!)

I cannot believe on how much work goes into the Phantom of the Opera. I love this show so much and I've seen it four times. Its an awesome show. For those who haven't seen it. I highly recommend it. I've seen it when I was five years old and I have been loving it ever since. Thanks for posting this video up. (:
The longer a show runs, the more profitable it becomes as costumes, sets and such become paid for. Oddly, lights and many of the mechanics are not bought, but rented even for long running shows because maintenance is covered by the lessor. After a time, your only outstanding costs are labour and maintenence.
oh wow - the show looks INSANE backstage but oh so BEAUTIFUL from the audience's viewpoint! Agreed below - complete respect for these guys! :)
This version needs to tour again
Thanks for the video!! It's so cool to see what goes on behind the scenes =)
I saw the show on 10/20. Everything was AWESOME!! And the theater is GOREGOUS!!
At first, I was thinking "The chandelier is boring. They need something more like what's in the movie or at the Royal Albert Hall." now, when I see what it's like without the dark, and a close up, I get a clear view of its beauty. Now, I no longer think it looks boring. How I'd love to have it in my apartment
SQUEAL!! I'm GOING TO SEE PHANTOM TOMORROW!!!!! SO EXCITED :)
I'm gonna see this at the Pantages next Saturday the Oct. 9th!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow such a massive production! I wonder if this show has been able to remain profitable through the years?? LoL
I'm estacticly waaayyyyy too excited to go!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video! It is amazing to see how much work goes into to set up :O. And everything is so beautiful ^_^
i will miss you coming to mi i seen this show in lancing it was varry good
there is a crap ton of work that goes into Phantom. There is a completely different show backstage every night the show goes on.
i was there when it toured in LA at the Pantages
is that the phantom's bride mirror at 3:32? its kinda weird seing it from the back
Canon EOS 7D...You're Good!!! ;)
What is the full musician count (and types of instruments, especially for the strings) of this orchestra, if you don't mind me asking?
I've been trying to find any archival program from this exact touring production, but hadn't been successful so far.
How come the small orchestra doesn’t have a tuba?
It can be replaced by midi keyboards now
I do believe the sarcasm in my statement was not sensed by you. I thought the "LoL" would have been the give away but I guess not. But yes, that was sarcasm.
