AUDIENCE, THEATRE Posted: June 2, 2020 7:35 am

Performances are canceled and theaters are dark all around the world, but the long-touring Broadway production of Phantom has continued to fill a 1,600-seat house in Seoul for eight shows a week. The show even survived a three-week hiatus after some cast members contracted coronavirus. “The musical … is believed to be the only large-scale English-language production running anywhere in the world.
