Along with Les Miserables and Miss Saigon, Phantom is one of the true classics of the Broadway stage. Currently in its 11th year, Phantom features the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber in a well-staged, lavish and eerie, production. Hugh Panaro plays the role originally made famous by Michael Crawford. Set against the gothic backdrop of 19^th-century France, the story deals with a lost soul and its passion. It’s one of the best Broadway has to offer.
