..."ok i think if poto closed that means that all the shows now on broadway can get ahead..." Posted by: bryan
- That statment truely makes no sense at all. Everyone has their own opinion about Phantom of the Opera, but the fact is that when a lot of people think about going to see a production on Broadway, many of them think of Phantom. If all of the long runners begin to close, then there could potentially be a huge demise in the productivity of the Broadway theatre district. With the track record and quality of some of the new and recent productions on Broadway, why would you even want to think of closing a show that brings people to New York City to see them. Think about it, if people come to NYC to see a show like Phantom they may also find themselves falling head over heels for another show down the street, or a few blocks over. Aside from that, Phantom of the Opera constantly plays to a full, and sometimes entirely sold-out house (Even all standing room tickets, ocassionally), and continues to pull in tons of money. For whoever said that the Majestic was looking tacky or circus-like because of all of the photos, etc, you are rediculous. Look at the Ford Center with it's production photos from 42nd Street, the Majestic isn't the only theater that takes great pride in the production it houses. Regardless of what you or anyone else tries to say, Phantom is one of the worlds most popular musicals , and there is no doubt that it will always remain a favorite for many, yes including myself.
