25th AnniversaryThe 25th anniversary of the Broadway

opening of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera was celebrated as a Special Gala Performance on Jan. 26, 2013. Exact details of the 6:30 PM performance were kept secret, but special guests who helped create the smash hit were in attendance at the Majestic Theatre. This anniversary performance was filmed and is now available on DVD.
