Video: THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA Gets Ready to Say Goodbye to Broadway
The Phantom of the Opera will play its final Broadway performance on February 18, 2023.

The show began Broadway previews at the Majestic Theatre on January 9, 1988 and opened on January 26, 1988 starring Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman and Steve Barton.
