![]() (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT") The show contains some of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's best-known songs, including the title number "All I Ask Of You" and - I tear just think of it - "The Music Of The Night." "Phantom" tells the story of an opera aficionado who haunts the Paris Opera House and wore a mask long before COVID made masks fashion statements, features a full orchestra and dazzling stagecraft, especially a chandelier that swoops on cue. This isn't a Beckett play, with two characters talking about the monotony of existence. The post-pandemic audience is down, and "Phantom" production costs are high. It is the longest-running show on Broadway - almost 35 years - and seems almost as much a part of the place as pizza by the slice and shops selling Statue of Liberty snow globes. ![]() "The Phantom Of The Opera" will close in February. ![]()
