Have a date with the Phantom, watch a Broadway show.
I have attended so many small theater shows in my travels around the U.S., but never had watched a major Broadway show. I just never had the chance. But when I visited New York City the second time around, something changed. My cousin invited me to have a date with The Phantom.
