\u2018The Phantom of the Opera\u2019 to close on Broadway next year<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Phantom of the Opera\u201d \u2014 Broadway\u2019s longest-running show \u2014 is scheduled to close in February 2023, the biggest victim yet of the post-pandemic softening in theater attendance in New York.<\/p>\n
