There are some stories that stay with you—haunting, sweeping, impossibly romantic. And this winter, one of the world’s most beloved musicals is gliding back into Dallas with all the drama, beauty, and soaring music that made it a global phenomenon. The Phantom of the Opera returns to the Music Hall at Fair Park for a limited engagement December 16, 2026 through January 3, 2027, and if you’ve been craving a magical night out (solo, date night, or with your teens), this is the one.
A Holiday Treat with Broadway-Level Spectacle
Presented by Broadway Dallas, this revitalized North American tour brings Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary score to life with breathtaking staging, lavish costumes, and iconic moments that still makes audiences gasp. The production features the original design inspiration of Maria Björnson and the celebrated direction lineage of Harold Prince, updated with fresh energy that has been earning raves nationwide. This new North American Tour is produced by Cameron Mackintosh with LW Entertainment and NETworks Presentations.
Guests should expect vibrant favorites like:
- “The Music of the Night”
- “All I Ask of You”
- “Masquerade”
- And the unforgettable title song
Performed by a powerhouse cast including Isaiah Bailey as The Phantom and Jordan Lee Gilbert as Christine Daaé, this tour is designed to thrill both longtime fans and first-time theatergoers.

Performances run through Christmas week and into New Year’s weekend, giving North Texans plenty of options.
The Music Hall at Fair Park is one of Dallas’ most iconic venues, and its grand auditorium is the perfect backdrop for Phantom’s sweeping romance and atmospheric drama.
