The Highest Grossing Musicals on Broadway

2. The Phantom of the Opera

Broadway Gross: $975.07 million

Running Date: 01/26/1988 – present

Considered one of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s masterpieces, The Phantom of the Opera encases its audience in the infatuation of a young soprano singer with a disfigured musical mastermind, as he haunts the underground of the Paris Opera. One of the most dramatic musicals of all time is also, unsurprisingly, a long lasting Broadway hit.
