Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera has joined the crowded second LEGO Ideas review of 2025, after fan designer siegobuilds hit the 10,000‑supporter milestone with a compact, atmospheric diorama of the musical’s underground boat scene.
Built from 728 pieces, the model recreates the moonlit canal beneath the opera house: layered plates suggest rolling mist, four candelabras flank the waterway, and the Phantom’s gondola glides past rockwork that hides the musical monkey music box. Two minifigures, the Phantom and Christine Daaé, complete the tableau.
The submission, first posted by siegobuilds and now a member of the platform’s 10K Club, has been steadily refined through creator and LEGO updates since it went live.
Siegobuilds says they created the LEGO set as a way “to celebrate The Phantom of the Opera. My dad has always been a big fan of the musical, and as he introduced it to me, I became mesmerized by its captivating story, unforgettable music, and unique visual style. I wanted to capture the magic and mystery of the Phantom’s lair and bring it to life with LEGO, giving fans of the musical and LEGO enthusiasts a way to experience a piece of the story in a physical display.”
Phantom’s arrival in review also underlines a small trend: West End (and Broadway) hits are quietly multiplying on LEGO Ideas. In the same second 2025 review, fans have pushed two separate Hamilton concepts over the line — and three distinct takes on My Neighbour Totoro (albeit the movie, but also reflecting well on the RSC’s London stage version, which transferred from the Barbican into the West End).
Sadly, hitting 10,000 supporters doesn’t guarantee a set. Under the LEGO Ideas rules, 10K projects move to a periodic review where LEGO’s team considers viability, licensing, safety and build experience before choosing any winners for production. In other words: Phantom, Hamilton and Totoro will now be weighed against dozens of unrelated concepts vying for the same green light.
According to fansite Brick Fanatics, the second 2025 review is already “by far the biggest” in the platform’s history — a swelling slate that includes pop culture, art pieces and retro tech alongside the stage submissions.
Theatre lovers will know Phantom isn’t alone: beyond Hamilton, fans keep pitching real‑world venues and West End shows for potential LEGO sets. A fresh submission for Shakespeare’s Globe is gathering support right now, and there are LEGO Ideas directly around London theatres — like a façade inspired by the Victoria Palace Theatre (aka The Bricktoria Palace Theatre!), alongside musical dioramas such as a Les Misérables barricade scene, and characters including the Six the Musical Brickheadz from hit show Six The Musical.
LEGO and Wicked
One of the biggest theatre properties to hit LEGO is Wicked – the smash-hit Broadway and West End show that is now blockbuster movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
On Wicked, the tie‑in line began last year, with LEGO announcing in May 2024 that four mini‑doll sets inspired by Wicked Part One were launching on 1 October 2024, timed to the movie’s late‑November release.
This month brought the next act. At San Diego Comic‑Con 2025, cast members helped unveil a new wave of six LEGO Wicked sets. Among the reveals: an 18+ Emerald City wall‑art display and a ‘Glinda & Elphaba Visit Munchkinland’ playset, both slated for September 2025, plus the newly listed BrickHeadz Elphaba & Glinda figures. There will also be a pair of adult‑aimed builds, including bookends, joining the range as the Wicked: For Good sequel approaches in November 2025.
Looking ahead, LEGO‑watchers expect these 2025 Wicked sets to dovetail with the sequel (Wicked: For Good) later this year.
