Broadway’s longest-running show has restarted performances.
On Friday,
The Phantom of the Opera recommenced performances at Broadway's Majestic Theatre.
Phantom is the longest-running show in Broadway history, with a nearly unbroken run of performances dating back to 1988. Like every show on Broadway,
Phantom had to close its doors in March 2020 for the Covid-19 shutdown. But now it's back, and audiences seem thrilled: The show's most enduring star (the chandelier) received thunderous entrance applause during the Friday, October 22, performance. You can watch the moment here:
