The musical, which has been a staple of New York's Majestic Theatre since 1988, is set to come to its final curtain call this Sunday.
The production features a large cast and orchestra, as well as elaborate sets and costumes - all of which add to the overall staging cost. Despite this, ticket sales have been impressive, ranging from $867,997 to over $1,000,000 per week since it reopened following Covid.
Lord Lloyd-Webber spoke to NBC Nightly News With Lester Holt about the surge in ticket sales, attributing it to social media and a ‘whole new audience’. When asked about how he will feel on Sunday, the Oscar-winning composer replied that he was mostly concerned about what The Phantom would think of the news. He said that he ‘doesn’t know’ whether Phantom will ever return due to him being the ‘only composer’.
