Happy 23rd Birthday, Phantom! Broadway's Longest-Running Show Marks Another Milestone

It’s been the longest running show on Broadway for more than four years, but the milestones keep piling up for The Phantom of the Opera. The mega-musical celebrated its 23rd anniversary at the January 26 matinee performance before a cheering snow-day crowd at the Majestic Theatre. After the curtain call, a huge “23” cake was wheeled onstage, and title star Hugh Panaro introduced a very special guest: the show’s legendary director, Harold Prince!
