Andrew Lloyd Webber's Emotional Farewell to 'Phantom of the Opera' and Broadway's Future.

Andrew Lloyd Webber dedicated the final Broadway performance of "The Phantom of the Opera" to his late son, Nicholas Lloyd Webber, who died of stomach cancer earlier this year. The musical spent 35 years on Broadway, but declining post-pandemic profits led to its closure. Despite this, producer Cameron Mackintosh predicts that the musical will eventually return. "Phantom" was the longest-running show on Broadway, drawing more than 20 million theatergoers and grossing more than $1 billion.
