On April 16, The Phantom of the Opera will take its final Broadway bow. And today, I am so honored to be joined by Ben Crawford, the last man to wear the iconic mask before the show closes. Tune in today to hear Ben talk about funniest audience reactions, onstage mishaps, the physical challenges of singing through a mask, the unique feedback he got from Hal Prince, and his long audition process for the role. There are also stories about the rest of Ben’s great career, including the genius of Scott Ellis, the musical he’d like to be in next (hint: it involves a Founding Father), a disastrous audition story, the absurd comedy of Irma La Douce, life on the road in Guys and Dolls, and so much more. You won’t want to miss this delightful conversation with one of Broadway’s best.
