Theatre Royal: Phantom: A Tribute to Michael Crawford
23 August @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm AEST

A celebration of Michael Crawford’s hit stage musicals and multi-platinum recordings featuring The Music of the Night, Love Changes Everything, Memory, All I Ask of You, The Phantom of the Opera and more.
Michael Crawford first captured Australian audiences as Frank Spencer in the hit TV series Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em. However, it was his Tony award winning performance as Andrew Lloyd Webber’s original Phantom of the Opera that introduced the world to his powerful singing voice and launched his international music career.
Australian performer Keith McNamara first found his voice singing along to Michael Crawford’s recordings. He has since gone on to perform in over 20 stage musicals including The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables and Miss Saigon.
Backed by a talented group of classical musicians, Keith McNamara captures the power, passion and tone of Michael Crawford’s iconic performances – taking the audience on a heartfelt journey through the remarkable career of one of the world’s most iconic musical theatre stars.
