Why? Beautiful and haunting score, spectacle, lavish costumes, great storyline, and talented actors. It is the epitome of a broadway musical. And if you had seen it in NY with Michael Crawford, you would really know why it is a classic. I was lucky enough to have seen it with him when it first opened in NY. I know there have been many fine phantoms over the years, but his performance was special. The feeling and emotion that he put into the character was mesmerizing. It was a performance to be remembered forever. I hope that children born tomorrow will be able to enjoy this timeless classic in the future.
