Well longtime no update. Anyway, for those of you who are unaware, Broadway's current Phantom, Hugh Panaro, will be leaving the production on Oct. 1st. He is leaving the show to be the title character in Elton John's new musical, Lestat, based on the popular Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles.
While some fans are upset at Hugh's leaving, he said himself that he "didn't become an actor to be safe." Everyone here wishes you the best of luck, Hugh!

Read more about this production and see the other cast members here.

As you all may know, on Jan. 9th Phantom will finally surpass CATS as the longest running musical on Broadway. The event is apparently going to be invite-only. The man behind the mask for this occasion, as well as Hugh's as of now part-time replacement, will be longtime Phantom Howard McGillian.
