The year was 1988. Ronald Regan was in the White House. The Dow Jones Industrial Average falls 140.58 points and a little show from London takes the Great White Way by storm. Now here we are some twenty-three years later and the economy is in bad shape and The Phantom of the Opera is just as popular as it ever was. Now no one not even Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber could have predicted that the show would last as long as it has.
Yet here we are in 2011 and the show is still going strong. Now I loved the show when it first came out. Except for the plays and musicals I did in High School Phantom was my first real exposure to Broadway. Three years after hearing it for the first time I was sitting five rows from the stage seeing it live and in person. How great is that? Since then I have seen the show over a half a dozen times. Each time just as magical as the first.
How may shows do you know can still do that? Not too many my friends.Now as I mentioned it is now possible to see this Tony Award winning musical for below face value. That's right theatre fans. I said below face value. Now that's what I call a bargain. Be advised that while this "Special Offer" is good thru the fall it is not available for Saturday evenings and subject to availability.Get your tickets to see The Phantom of the Opera. Who knows? Maybe I'll see you there.
