Saying Goodbye to 'Phantom of the Opera': Broadway's Emotional Final Bow.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Deadline
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 show, which has been running for 35 years, had its final curtain call at the Majestic Theatre in New York. 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. The show has grossed over $1 billion over the years and holds the record for the first Broadway production to hit 10,000 performances.
