1989 The Phantom of the Opera theatre programme from Her Majesty's Theatre in London

Cast - Martin Smith, Jill Washington, Robert Meadmore

"This edition published October 1989" is printed inside the brochure on the last page (the show started in October 1986)

Features information about Gaston Leroux, the history of the Paris Opera House, recreating the Phantom, historical information and more. There are no cast biographies but the cast names are printed

For its age the programme is in good condition (some dirt marks on the front and back covers and a tiny bit of creasing - as seen in the photos)

This is a RARE programme  - from my research I understand that Martin Smith was hired in October 1989 to play the Phantom but at the time he struggled with the demanding score and was fired after two months. He passed away in 1994 after suffering from HIV/AIDS
