The logos have been tweaked over the years, the cast has changed hundreds of members, and the ticket prices have certainly changed. When the show opened, the top ticket price was an outrageous $50.00. (These days for slightly less, you can get nosebleed seats for that. Heck, there are even $29 seats for some performances.) And how many cast members weren't even alive yet on January 26, 1988?
Long-time readers know how much I love Broadway marquees and logos, so I thought I'd pay tribute to The Phantom of the Opera with a look at how it has changed over the years!

Congratulations! Here's to 30 more!
