PHOTO FLASH: Sierra Boggess Arrives In Paris To Star In THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

School's out for Sierra Boggess as she bids adieu to her Broadway role of Rosalie Mullins, principal of the prestigious Horace Green School in SCHOOL OF ROCK, to share her glittering vocals with French audiences, as she preps to star as Christine Daaé when THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA begins performances in Paris on October 13th.

Boggess is well known for the role of the mysterious phantom's protégée, having played her on Broadway as a replacement and originating the same role in the West End premiere of the musical's sequel, LOVE NEVER DIES.

Rehearsals begin tomorrow and Boggess is obviously quite taken with her new home away from home, Theatre Mogador. Visit thephantomoftheopera.com/paris

Far beneath the majesty and splendor of the Paris Opera House, hides the Phantom in a shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, the love he holds for his beautiful protegee Christine Daae is so strong that even her heart cannot resist.

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA opened at Her Majesty's Theatre on 9 October 1986 with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the leading roles, and there have been dozens of productions worldwide since then.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's mesmerizing score along with jaw-dropping scenery and breathtaking special effects, magically combine to bring this tragic love story to life each night.
