Ohio Christian University presents Andrew Lloyd Weber’s The Phantom of the Opera as its spring musical production on April 12th at 7:00 PM and April 13th at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM in the Ministry and Performing Arts Center.
Now that the show has closed on Broadway after its 35-year run, come enjoy this production brought to life by Ohio Christian’s very own. Audience members will be immersed in the world of Paris and the Opera Populaire in 1880s France. While the opera house is a colorful world of costumes, divas and ballerinas above the surface, the mysterious opera ghost lurks in the shadows, wreaking havoc on the owners and cast members. Simultaneously, young Christine Daaé is receiving voice lessons from an unseen “Angel of Music” who grows incredibly jealous when her childhood love, Raoul, notices the singer at her debut performance. The show will take you on a journey into the depths of who we long to be and past the point of no return.
Our incredible cast includes Benjamin Woodland ’24 as the Phantom, Holly Gillham ’24 as Christine Daaé, and Daniel McQueen ‘25 as Vicomte Raoul de Chagny, making up our dynamic leading trio. We are also welcoming Stormi Overby, who plans to attend Ohio Christian this fall, as Carlotta Guidicelli and Mac Callahan is returning to the stage as Ubaldo Piangi, giving us some incredible, operatic vocals masterfully taught by our amazing Vocal Director, Dr. Dione Bennett. We cannot wait to share a production that truly showcases the unique and showstopping vocal talents our students possess, and we would truly like to give Dr. Bennett credit for her incredible hard work bringing these talents to light.
