I waited 15 years to get to see Phantom on Broadway and I swore to myself I would not cry when it got to this part...well, I cried like a freakin baby. Boo-hooed even. I knew this part was coming and I cried anyway.
We were so close to the stage that night, right in front of The Phantom (Howard) when he was sitting at the organ, I could have reached up and touched his feet. Marni Raab was Christine.
