Centenary Launch at His Majesty’s Theatre, London
February 2026
Ballet girls performing a special reverance in honour of Gillian
The centenary celebrations began on Gillie’s birthday at His Majesty's Theatre, London, the home of the original Phantom of the Opera. Peter Land was joined by some of Gillie's nearest and dearest for Dame Cocktails before heading in to watch the show that, night after night, continues to perform her choreography and staging.
The evening was dedicated to Gillie with a special pre-show announcement, and the night closed with a beautiful curtain call in which the Phantom delivered a heartfelt tribute to her enduring contribution to the production. The ballet girls performed a special reverence in her honour — a deeply moving moment for everyone in the audience.
