Keeping Broadway Shows Fresh
“The Phantom of the Opera” recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of its first performance on Broadway. The show now holds the record as the longest running Broadway musical ever. Harold Prince directed “The Phantom of the Opera” in the 1980s. He attended the anniversary celebrations earlier this year.
“I see the show probably at least a dozen times a year, but I rehearse them four times a year and I’m very grateful for it.”
That is Hugh Panaro singing “Music of the Night.” He has played the Phantom in more than 1,700 performances. His long relationship with the show began 22 years ago when he played a different part, that of Raoul, the lover of a girl named Christine. He says part of what has kept things fresh for him is performing with so many actresses who play the part of Christine.
