"Phantom of the Opera" is closing after more than three decades, nearly 14,000 performances and seven Tony Awards.
A stage filled with glorious music sets costumes and thrills gave way to a rousing standing ovation. The moment the creator of the legendary musical, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, joined the cast at curtain call brought many to tears."Nick, we love you very much," said Sarah Brightman, who played"Christine" in the original production.Brightman was at Lloyd Webber's side, helping him through the pain of his recent loss of his eldest son, Nicholas, to cancer at age 43.
"The last few months I don't think anybody, any of us thought the fact that it would go out with a bang it has," Lloyd Webber said."I started sobbing the minute I came in," McGillin said."We're all part of this family and we will always be. It's a wonderful thing." "I'm not going to say that I'm not a little bit melancholy. We all feel that way. Those of us who are in the show love to show so much [that] it's a family and it's been a home," said Laird Mackintosh, who played"Phantom" during the final Broadway run.
