Experience musical classics live

Experience classic musical songs from The Phantom of the Opera to Cats live in South Morang at the premier Michael Crawford tribute show ‘Phantom’.

Keith McNamara is excited to perform Crawford’s renditions of West End musical classics with locals and fellow fans.

“It’s an opportunity for fans to come together and celebrate his music rather than listening to it at home,” McNamara said.

McNamara has starred in over 20 stage musicals including The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables and Miss Saigon, but he said this tribute concert is a dream come true.

“It is a pleasure to step into the shoes of my vocal hero for a little while.”

McNamara said at 12 years old he saw Crawford in the original production of The Phantom of the Opera and was immediately enamoured.

“I would sing along to the original cast recording every night, so Micheal’s sound has found its way into the DNA of my voice.”

McNamara said he enjoys performing nostalgic renditions of The Music of the Night, Love Changes Everything, Memory, All I Ask of You, The Phantom of the Opera and more.

“A lot of those songs have a place deep in people’s hearts and I’m really getting to see that first hand.

“We have had standing ovations and people in the audience crying… the show captures the spirit of Michael’s recordings.”

Phantom: a tribute to Michael Crawford is coming to Plenty Ranges Arts and Convention Centre on Sunday 22 March from 2pm, book your ticket online at https://www.pracc.com.au/
