Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Really Useful Group Launches New Home For Musical Theatre Fans

The Really Useful Group has launched a new home for fans of music and musical theatre. The Box Five Club invites all fans of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musicals to explore a world of unseen archives, behind-the-scenes moments, new videos and articles and special previews from new shows and music.

Fans can sign up for exclusive free access to The Box Five Club at www.boxfiveclub.com, subscribing to the curated newsletter featuring first looks, news, articles and video content, early access to tickets and events, as well as additional members’ perks and benefits.

The launch of The Box Five Club comes on the same day as Andrew Lloyd Webber Musicals launches a new online presence at https://www.andrewlloydwebber.com/ .

Today’s launch coincides with the 38th anniversary of the opening of The Phantom of the Opera in London in 1986. This kicks off a new global fan celebration of the show around the world over the coming weeks and months.

To mark the anniversary of Phantom, The Box Five Club launches with a programme of content celebrating the much-loved show, including never-seen before photography, news articles and video content.

Immediately available (9th October), only for The Box Five Club members, is an exclusive pre-sale of three limited edition art prints, inspired by moments from The Phantom of the Opera, designed in collaboration with leading design house, Studio MinaLima. General sales go live globally on Friday 11th October.

Fans will also get sneak peeks of other exciting news and features, including exclusive content from two soon-to-be-released albums: SUNSET BVLD (25th October), recorded at The Savoy Theatre London and soon to open on Broadway, and Starlight Express (8th November), recorded with the cast of the critically-acclaimed revival of this much loved show, currently playing in London.
