Saying Goodbye to 'Phantom of the Opera': Broadway's Emotional Final Bow.

TL;DR Summary
The final performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway was dedicated to his son Nicholas, who passed away last month.

The performance was met with a standing ovation, and Sarah Brightman performed the musical's most famous song, "The Music of the Night," with current and previous cast members.
