Beginning Monday evening, July 27, there will be a new ?man behind the mask' in the Broadway production of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, which is the longest-running show in Broadway history. John Cudia, the current star of the National Tour, will take over the role on Broadway after a nearly decade-long association with the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, directed by Harold Prince.

Broadway's Cris Groenendaal, Ted Keegan and Craig Schulman have all starred in the title role of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'The Phantom of the Opera'. They will be performing as 'Three Phantoms In Concert' at the Yorktown Stage in Yorktown Heights on Saturday March 21 at 8pm. The evening will benefit the Jenna's Dream Scholarship Programs.

They met during The Phantom of the Opera and these two have been making beautiful music together ever since.

As Phantom of the Opera prepares to roll into the history books on Monday night, January 9, 2006 as the longest running show of all time, BroadwayWorld checked in with some of the many men behind the mask. Phantom alumni Kevin Gray, Cris Groenendaal, and Davis Gaines, along with Broadway's current Phantom Howard McGillin each shared their experiences of donning the mask.

Beginning Monday, October 3, Howard McGillin, Broadway's longest-running Phantom, will return to the title role in THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at The Majestic Theatre.

Broadway greats Cris Groenendaal (Phantom of the Opera, Sweeney Todd, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum), Marni Nixon (Nine, Follies, The Dead, Cabaret, The Voice of Hollywood), and Sarah Rice (Sweeney Todd, The Fantasticks, The Music Man) share the spotlight in MÉNAGE, an evening of songs celebrating life, love, and the slings and arrows of the outrageousness of relationships.

For the first time onstage three Broadway performers who have shared the same role of the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, joined forces for an evening of song and music.
