Phantom - The Las Vegas Spectacular Makes History on 4th Anniversary at the Venetian
In celebration of the legendary show's fourth anniversary on the Las Vegas strip, the audience of Phantom- the Las Vegas Spectacular at the Venetian made history on Thursday, June 24 after they were given their own Phantom mask and were transformed into “Angels of Music”. For one record breaking moment The Phantom Theatre was home to more than 1800 “Phantoms”, the largest gathering of “Phantoms”, ever.
Following the performance, cast members, led by the show’s “Phantom,” filed into the audience handing commemorative versions of the iconic mask to the sold-out house setting the record for the world’s largest gathering of “Phantoms” ever assembled in a single location. As with any production orchestrated by “The Phantom,” it ended with the crash of the $5 million, 2,000-pound chandelier.
