The musical theatre composer bid farewell to Broadway’s longest-running show after 35 years and 13,981 performances.

Andrew Lloyd Webber dedicated the final Broadway performance of his musical The Phantom of the Opera to his son Nicholas, who died of cancer last month aged 43.

After 35 years and 13,981 shows that made it the longest-running show in Broadway history, Phantom took its final bow on Sunday evening at the Majestic Theatre in New York City.

“I hope you won’t mind if I dedicate this performance to my son, Nick,” Lloyd Webber told theatregoers.

Turning to soprano Sarah Brightman, who was formerly married to Lloyd Webber, he recalled: “When Nick was a little boy, he heard some of this music and he loved it.”

“Yes, he did,” Brightman responded. “When Andrew was writing it, he was right there. So his soul is with us. Nick, we love you very much.”

Lloyd Webber announced his son’s death on 25 March. In his statement, he said he was “shattered” by the news.

In September 2022, it was announced that Phantom would have its final curtain call in 2023. By November, it had been given a two-month extension after an encouraging spike in ticket sales.

Eventually on Sunday 16 April, the cast took their final bow in an emotional last performance. Emilie Kouatchou, the first Black actress to play Christine full time on Broadway, received a mid-show standing ovation for her sublime rendition of ‘Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again’.  

Throughout the performance, iconic pieces of décor including the Phantom’s boat, entered the stage to the sound of cheers and whistles from the audience. Watch below as the chandelier rose for the final time...

To date, the show has won seven Tony Awards, including best musical.

Throughout its 35-year run, the production has employed a total of around 6,500 people, including 400 actors.

Brightman added on the night that she doesn’t “feel it’s the end” for the popular musical, hinting at its return to Broadway in the future.

Lyric video of the song "Anak" as recorded by Freddie Aguilar. A Pinoy folk-rock classic, "Anak," was a big hit in the Philippines in the 70's after winning the Metropop songwriting tilt and eventually became a phenomenal hit around the world and made a star out of singer-songwriter Freddie Aguilar. Recorded a couple of times and sung in many languages (German, Japanese, English etc..)) "Anak" can now be heard as theme music in the 2015 movie "Gangnam Blues" starring Korean movie star Lee Min Ho. Lyric video includes basic guitar chord guides. LYRICS: No'ng isilang ka sa mundong ito Laking tuwa ng magulang mo At ang kamay nila ang 'yong ilaw At ang nanay at tatay mo'y 'Di malaman ang gagawin Minamasdan pati pagtulog mo At sa gabi'y napupuyat ang iyong nanay Sa pagtimpla ng gatas mo At sa umaga nama'y kalong ka Ng iyong amang tuwang-tuwa sa iyo Ngayon nga ay malaki ka na Ang nais mo'y maging malaya 'Di man sila payag, walang magagawa Ikaw nga ay biglang nagbago Naging matigas ang iyong ulo At ang payo nila'y sinuway mo 'Di mo man lang inisip na Ang kanilang ginagawa'y para sa iyo 'Pagkat ang nais mo'y masunod ang layaw mo 'Di mo sila pinapansin Nagdaan pa ang mga araw At ang landas mo'y naligaw Ikaw ay nalulong sa masamang bisyo At ang una mong nilapitan Ang iyong inang lumuluha At ang tanong, "Anak, ba't ka nagkaganyan?" At ang iyong mga mata'y biglang lumuha Nang 'di mo napapansin Pagsisisi ang sa isip mo't Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali Pagsisisi ang sa isip mo't Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali Pagsisisi ang sa isip mo't Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali

What is the difference between the Philippine opera and the Philippine ballet?

I found this interesting article by Steven Sharp, Quora.

The Philippine opera and Philippine ballet are two distinct forms of performing arts in the Philippines, each with their own unique characteristics and history.

Philippine opera, also known as "Kundiman opera," is a form of musical theater that combines elements of Western operatic singing and storytelling with traditional Philippine music and dance. It emerged in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period and was heavily influenced by the zarzuela, a form of Spanish musical theater.

In Philippine opera, the performers sing in a blend of Western and Philippine languages, often with dramatic and emotional intensity. The stories told in Philippine opera often revolve around themes of love, heroism, and social justice. The musical accompaniment is typically provided by a small ensemble of Philippine instruments such as the guitar, bandurria, and kulintang.

On the other hand, Philippine ballet is a form of classical dance that originated in Europe but has been adapted and developed in the Philippines. It typically features dancers performing intricate and graceful movements to classical music, often telling a story or conveying a particular emotion through their movements.

In Philippine ballet, dancers usually wear pointe shoes and tutus, and perform choreography that requires a high degree of technical skill and athleticism. Philippine ballet companies often perform works by famous European choreographers, as well as pieces created by Filipino choreographers that incorporate Philippine cultural elements.

Overall, while both Philippine opera and Philippine ballet involve storytelling and performance, they differ in their specific forms, techniques, and cultural influences.
