Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera is ending its record-breaking 35 year run on Broadway. Theatre critic Glenn Sumi reflects on the show’s legacy.

The Phantom of the Opera – Broadway’s longest-running show – is scheduled to close in February 2023, the biggest victim yet of the post-pandemic softening in theatre attendance in New York.

"The Phantom of the Opera" will close in 2023 after 35 years on Broadway, according to its website. The drama by Andrew Lloyd Webber opened at the Majestic Theatre in January 1988.
