Reason for ending the musical would be the corona crisis. Since the theaters reopened, ‘The Phantom’ has suffered major losses. According to media, it would be about 1 million euros per month.
On January 26, 1988, ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ was shown on Broadway for the first time. The Cameron Mackintosh and Andrew Lloyd Webber musical has had nearly 14,000 performances in those years. In second place is ‘Chicago’, with more than 10,000 performances. This musical is still on Broadway.
