Winnipeg’s adoration for the 1974 horror musical Phantom of the Paradise knows no bounds.

A second screening and question-and-answer session with cast members Paul Williams, Peter Elbling and others will take place Nov. 2, 2024 at 2 p.m. at the Burton Cummings Theatre. A 7 p.m. screening and Q&A for the same day that was announced Dec. 12 has sold out.

Tickets for the 2 p.m. show, which will sell for $15 plus fees and up, go on sale Dec. 26 at 10 a.m. at ticketmaster.ca.

The film, which will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its release in 2024, was a hit in Winnipeg and nowhere else, and sparked several locally organized “Phantompalooza” events in the city over the years.
