This original 1986 Phantom of the Opera leaflet, in the style of an invitation from the Phantom, promotes the previews and the opening night of the musical at Her Majesty’s Theatre, Haymarket, London. The leaflet opens first as a 3 panel gatefold, revealing the Phantoms invitation. It then opens again into a poster.
Soon after the first promotional material was printed by Dewytners, A decision was taken to remove the Phantom’s outstretched hand catching the rose. As the story goes, it was considered too similar to the design for “Jeeves”, (1975) another musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, also at Her Majesty’s Theatre, which initially flopped, running for just 1 month.
