For the first time ever on stage of the Edgerton Center for the Performing Arts, three Broadway stars who have shared the same title role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera join forces for an evening of incredible song and music while performing with members of the Bridgeport Symphony Orchestra.
Cris Groenendaal, Mark Jacoby and Craig Schulman have collectively worn the ‘Phantom’ mask a few thousand times over a 10-year period. Each tenor brings an average of 20 years of Broadway experience to the stage as well as major roles in numerous regional theatres, television and opera.
Described as an Evening of MASK-uline Broadway Entertainment, Three Phantoms In Concert will take the stage of the Edgerton Center on Saturday, April 6 at 8 pm as an integral part of 2013 Discovery Gala, with proceeds benefitting the Sacred heart University Scholarship Programs.
