The most successful stage musical of all time, the Cameron Mackintosh/Really Useful Group, Inc. production of Andrew Lloyd Webber?s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, directed by Harold Prince, will reach an unprecedented milestone when it celebrates its Twenty-First Anniversary on Broadway on Monday, January 26, 2009. On that date, playing its 8,732nd performance at The Majestic Theatre (247 West 44th Street), it will become the first Broadway production ever to have run 21 years. The longest-running show in Broadway history (a feat it achieved in January 2006 when it surpassed the run of Cats), the musical is the winner of 7 1988 Tony Awards including Best Musical. Since its Broadway debut on January 26, 1988, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has grossed $715 million, making it the highest-grossing show in Broadway history. Total New York attendance is at 13 million. Having since surpassed Cats? record by a phenomenal 3 years and 1,200 performances, it has now played over 8,700 performances ? the only show in Broadway history to do so ? and all with no end in sight. As a major vote of confidence in the future of the Broadway production, last August the producers took the extraordinary step of installing a brand-new Digital Sound System (at an investment of $750,000) to bring the production?s sound design technology into the 21s Century. The move followed last May?s successful installation of the same new Digital Sound System into the London production.

Andrew Lloyd Webber confirmed his future (and very active) plans for Phantom: Love Never Dies, the sequel to his worldwide mega hit musical The Phantom of the Opera. His statement was posted on his official website, www.andrewlloydwebber.com.
