The longest running show in the history of Broadway! On January 9th 2006 Phantom of the Opera
overtook CATS to become the longest running show
in the history of Broadway with over 7,486 performances!!
Andrew Lloyd Webber's smash musicalization of the Gaston Leroux novel won the 1988 Tony Award for Best Musical. Now in its seventeenth year on Broadway.
The Phantom reigns in the netherworld beneath the stage of the Paris Opera House. Bizarrely deformed, he passes his time terrorizes the members of the Opera, a bit of payback for his condition he believes. But this is a love story and it comes to pass that he falls in love with a young singer. The love is not unrequited
