Knudsen's History: January 9th, 2008.....

On January 9th, in the year 2006, The Phantom of the Opera surpassed the record set by Cats for the title of longest running show on Broadway. Setting the record for the briefest Broadway run that same year, clocking in at 2.5 seconds of what critics have referred to as the equivalent of shoving a small badger into your ear canal, was an updated version of The Music Man starring Gilbert Gottfried as Professor Harold Hill.
