The Phantom of the Opera

PRESS RELEASE: Longest-Running Show in Broadway History To Celebrate Unprecedented 22nd Anniversary on January 26

The longest-running show in Broadway history, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, last week broke the house record at The Majestic Theatre (247 West 44th Street) to have its best weekly gross in the production’s nearly 22 year history. For the week ending January 3, 2010, the production grossed $1,374,874.96 for 8 performances. This surpasses the show’s previous record of $1,371,452.50 for the week ending January 1, 2006 (which, notably, was a 9-performance week). Set to celebrate an unprecedented 22 Years on Tuesday, January 26, the Cameron Mackintosh/Really Useful Group, Inc. production, directed by Harold Prince, continues to play at The Majestic with no end in sight.
