This past Saturday was the 25th Anniversary of the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway.
Not only is Broadway Phantom the same age as me, but this year also marks my 10 year anniversary since I had first seen Phantom. As much as I would have loved to see the anniversary performance, I am glad to have been at home (aka work) and thinking about it.
In all honesty, I was working where the guest performance groups perform in Disneyland, and a local college came by and did a few compilations of musicals. I smiled when Phantom came up because I knew that the show was happening for many fans of the show across the country. I had to keep reminding myself that this was now the way I needed to see it on my "10 year anniversary." As lovely as it would have been, I've had my own plans to see the show again soon.
In fact, this coming April, I plan to see the show the same day I had seen it in New York city 10 years ago. Maybe even once before as well. So in honor of 25 years on Broadway, I will celebrate a bit differently than everybody else.
Cheers to 25 years Phantom, and many more to come.
