Bringing Down the Chandelier on Broadway’s ‘The Phantom of the Opera’

Broadway’s longest running show in history, The Phantom of the Opera, takes its final bows and will go dark, closing in mid-April.

We also talk with Gary Fails about the fog system, which is integral to the overall impact of the show.
