Summary

Gillian the chandelier—bigger than a semi-truck, weighing over a ton, and packed with 40+ pyrotechnics—dominates the Hollywood Pantages Theatre’s “Phantom of the Opera,” delivering jaw-dropping motion effects and crowd-pleasing drops that send audiences into a frenzy. Behind the spectacle, star Jordan Lee Gilbert reveals how even her 30-pound costumes and onstage costume changes add layers of live theater magic. A faithful recreation of the classic, this production still captivates fans decades later—Gilbert herself credits the show for sparking her lifelong love of theater. Gillian’s tour ends August 30th, and she’s not going home with any crew—she’s too heavy for even the biggest dining room table.
