| I attended the performance where Phantom became the longest running show in Broadway history. Darn, it wasn't that long ago but the details are fuzzy :-) I do remember a very beautiful special program booklet and I think a mask of sorts for everyone. The party was at the Waldorf and Lauren Bacall was there. Sorry it's a slim recollection, but overall a very magical night. That said, my number one "special" performance experience was the closing night of the original production of Les Miserables....which 15 years earlier had been the first Broadway show I ever saw. But that's another story for another time :-) | |

| LOL. Really? And there's Betty Bacall with Hal Prince in the gallery thumbnails, third from the bottom in the far left row. "The music of the night was heard up and down Broadway on January 9, when Andrew Lloyd Webber's epic musical The Phantom of the Opera played its 7,486th performance and broke the record for the longest-running show on the Great White Way, displacing Cats for the title. On that fateful night, the curtain call at the Majestic Theatre brought together Phantom cast members past and present as well as producer Cameron Mackintosh, director Harold Prince, choreographer Gillian Lynne and Lord Lloyd Webber himself for an emotional and exciting curtain call. After the record-breaking performance, an enormous gala celebrated the milestone at the WALDORF-ASTORIA. Here's to another 7,486 performances, Phantom!" |
