"The Phantom of the Opera" is No Longer Here

It's hard to believe but it finally happened: The Phantom of the Opera is no longer playing on Broadway. 

After 35 years and 13,981 performances, the longest-running show in Broadway history has closed. It felt like it would play forever and, in Broadway show terms, it did. But all good things ... 

Doubtless it will be revived at some point in the future but this was the first, original production. Besides the length of the show's run or number of performances, it would be interesting to know how many other Broadway musicals came and went during its historic run.

Goodbye Phantom.
