The Phantom of the Opera is perhaps the most famous Broadway musical of all time. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s play has been staged since 1988 and it has been approved as the longest running Broadway musical of all time.
With its famous song “All I Ask of You”, and its expensive chandelier as the show’s central theme, the budget for this show is not that big as people might think.
Webber’s play is ranked as 9 on our list with $14.2 million estimated costs.
Regarding the costs, if you ever have the opportunity to see The Phantom of the Opera, do not hesitate. Go and you will thank me later.
