The London production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, directed by Harold Prince, will welcome several new lead players in September as the musical heads into its 32nd year.

Beginning September 4, Ben Lewis will play the title role, Kelly Mathieson will step into the role of soprano Christine Daaé, and Jeremy Taylor will be the new Raoul. Amy Manford will also become the alternate Christine Daaé.

Mathieson will be making her West End debut; previous opera credits include Le Nozze de Figaro, Agrippina, Orpheus and the Underworld, Die Zauberflöte, and Carmen.
