The Phantom of the Opera to Make History Again

The longest-running show in Broadway history (it started in 1986), Andrew Lloyd Webber’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, directed by Harold Prince, will again make theater history when it becomes the first Broadway show to celebrate its 25th Anniversary on Saturday, January 26, 2013.

BROADWAY’S LONGEST-RUNNING SHOW OF ALL TIME, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, TO MAKE HISTORY AGAIN!

On Broadway, since its debut on January 26, 1988, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has grossed over $875 million. Even now – in its incredible 25th year on Broadway – it is consistently among Broadway’s highest-grossing shows and remains a box office champ. Earlier this year, the production shattered the house record at The Majestic by having its best weekly gross in its entire 24-year history. Total attendance is now over 15 million and it continues to play with no end in sight.

The musical’s international success – equally staggering – is represented by total worldwide grosses estimated at over $5.6 billion. This colossal figure makes PHANTOM the most successful entertainment venture of all time, with revenues higher than any film or stage play in history, including Titanic, Star Wars and far surpassing the world’s highest-grossing film Avatar (at $2.8 billion). Worldwide, over 65,000 performances have been seen by 130 million people in 28 countries and 148 cities in 13 languages. AIN, BECOMING THE FIRST BROADWAY SHOW EVER TO CELEBRATE 25 YEARS.
