<Li> Turkey: The World Tour played in Istanbul at the Zorlu Center PSM from 7 April to 17 May 2015 . </Li> <Li> United States: Los Angeles (1989--1993), San Francisco (1993--1999). A US National tour commenced in 1991 in Los Angeles, and closed on 31 October 2010 at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood, California, after nearly two decades . The closing night performance was attended by many former cast and crew members, including Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sarah Brightman . </Li> <P> A film version, directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Gerard Butler as the Phantom, Emmy Rossum as Christine, Patrick Wilson as Raoul, Minnie Driver as Carlotta, and Miranda Richardson as Madame Giry, opened on 22 December 2004 in the US . </P> <P> An edited production renamed Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular opened 24 June 2006 at The Venetian in Las Vegas, Nevada, in a theatre built specifically for the show to resemble the Opéra Garnier in Paris . The production ran 95 minutes with no intermission, and was directed and choreographed by Harold Prince and Gillian Lynne, with scenic designs by David Rockwell . The show featured updated technology and effects, including a re-engineered chandelier capable of reassembling in midair during the overture while the entire interior of the venue (not merely the stage) returned to its 1880s halcyon days . Almost 45 minutes' worth of material was eliminated, such as the Don Juan Triumphant rehearsal . "Poor Fool, He Makes Me Laugh" and "The Point of No Return" were significantly shortened . Other changes resembled those in the 2004 film, such as staging the chandelier crash at the plot's climax (during performance of "The Point of No Return") rather than mid-story . The Las Vegas production closed on 2 September 2012 . </P>
