Lloyd Webber dedicates his final Phantom on Broadway to son who died of cancer

Andrew Lloyd Webber dedicated the final Broadway curtain call of The Phantom of the Opera to his late son Nick — after its record-breaking run in New York came to an end.

The musical, based on the novel The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux, spent more than 35 years in New York playing almost 14,000 performances and reportedly taking in more than £1 billion in ticket sales as well as being adapted into a film starring Gerard Butler and Minnie Driver.
