This trip is SOME walking.
Our first stop is the Providence Place Mall were you will have time on your own to shop and have an early lunch. After shopping and dining, we head over to the Providence Performing Arts Center for our 1pm matinee performance of the award winning musical The Phantom of the Opera!
Far beneath the majesty and splendor of the Paris Opera House, hides the Phantom in a shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, the love he holds for his beautiful protégée Christine Daaé is so strong that even her heart cannot resist.
This spectacular new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera is now on a broadway tour across North America! Bigger and better than ever before, this production features brilliant new set designs, amazing original costumes, new choreograph and exciting special effects including the show’s legendary chandelier!
The beloved story and thrilling score – with songs like “Music of the Night,” “All I Ask Of You,” and “Masquerade” – will be performed by a cast and orchestra of 52, making this one of the largest productions now on tour.
