Over the weekend, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical “Phantom of the Opera” rolled a giant cake on stage to mark a Broadway milestone: it’s the first Broadway musical to reach 10,000 performances. That’s over 2500 more than the nearest runner-up, Webber’s “Cats”.
- When “Cat’s” hit it’s milestone, they rolled a giant ball of yarn on stage.
- After 10,000 performances, the actors are pretty bored. But they mask it well.
- Spiderman the Musical also set a record this weekend… marking it’s 10,000th injury to a cast member.
FYI… In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of “Phantom of the Opera”, there’s a new DVD available featuring a lavish stage production of the show done at London’s Royal Albert Hall. I got it as an early Valentine’s Day gift for my wife and it’s spectacular! You can get it at www.phantom25th.com or, just do what I did, go to Costco and buy it for 16 bucks!
