Andrew Lloyd Webber says he's already thinking about 'The Phantom of the Opera' returning to Broadway — even as it prepares to close

Andrew Lloyd Webber, the composer behind Broadway’s longest running show, told MarketWatch that he expects the musical will return at some point after it ends its 35-year run on April 16.

Andrew Lloyd Webber, the composer behind Broadway’s longest running show, told MarketWatch that he expects the musical will return at some point after it ends its 35-year run on April 16. The composer wouldn’t provide any specific date that “Phantom” might return, though he said, “I think it might be a good idea to maybe just rest for a little bit.”

But typically, revivals are not produced until at least a few years, if not at least a full decade, after the closing of the original production in order to let demand for a return build. Industry insiders say it’s possible that “Phantom” might not need to wait that long.

That's great news! We can't wait to see it back on Broadway.
