A musical playing at the Straz Center has it all — love, fights and chandeliers.

It’s Phantom of the Opera, playing through Feb. 25 in Tampa.

This is a new production of the beloved Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, but it keeps some of its classic looks in its costumes.

“Some of the costumes that you will see on stage are actually 25 years old,” said Mitchell Hodges, the musical’s stage manager.

The production also keeps the show's classic themes in its storyline.

“My character is the wealthy patron of the opera house,” said actor Jordan Craig, who plays the Vicomte Raoul de Chagny.

Ah, and how Raoul loves opera house diva Christine Daae.

“Little does he know it’s his childhood best friend,” explained Craig.

But Christine is enthralled with the dude in a mask—the Phantom. He takes her into his mysterious world below the Opera House, and it’s a little hard for Raoul to compete with all that.

“So that’s where the love triangle comes in, that's where the drama is," said Craig. "Everybody loves the drama.”

Speaking of drama, one of the main characters of the show is a fixture.

A literal fixture - a blindingly large, twinkling chandelier.

“There’s 30,000 beads in the chandelier that the Props department has to shine for us," said Hodges. "300 pieces of gold leaf that they polish so you can see all that gold that you are seeing now."

The chandelier plays a clutch role in the show, sort of the Phantom’s right-hand woman.

Oh yeah, that's right, "Chanty" is a girl!

“The Phantom uses it to, he manipulates it throughout the show to not only attract the audience’s eye to it, but also to remind the people in the opera house he’s still ultimately in charge of their space," said Hodges. “And that no matter where they go, they can’t really escape his reign.”
