Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cameron Mackintosh today announced complete casting for the New York return of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, the longest-running show in Broadway history.

Earlier this year, on April 22, The Phantom of the Opera, reached a milestone that no other Broadway show has even come near. Phantom, the longest-running show in Broadway history, became the first Broadway show EVER to reach #13,000 performances. This is just one of many incredible achievements made by the show since it opened on Broadway over three decades ago.

The Oakland University Department of Theatre will kick off its 2018-19 season on Thursday, Oct. 11 with Into the Woods, a "Once Upon a Time" tale that introduces the hopes and dreams of characters from some of our favorite fairy tales and explores the lengths we go to for our dreams - and the potentially high cost of getting what we want.

For nearly 35 years, I have loved the score of BABY, the Broadway musical that ran for 241 performances from 1983 to 1984 and made Liz Callaway a star.
