Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary musical returns to San Jose in a refreshed North American tour presented by Cameron Mackintosh, playing at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.

Hailed by London critics after its 2021 reopening, the production continues the show’s remarkable global run, having reached more than 160 million people in 47 territories and 195 cities across 21 languages.
