Mayor Eric Adams joined famed composer Andrew Lloyd Webber for a special honor at the Majestic Theatre.
"Since you unlocked our hearts, we want to give you this key to the greatest city on the globe, New York City, to hang up there with many of the great honors you receive, just thank you so much," Adams said.
"I felt very much a part of the community even though I am British, but I still feel this is the home of musicals and where I want to be, so I'd just like to say thank you, thank you, very, very much. It's something that means a great deal to me," Webber said. The honor comes as Webber's iconic musical, "The Phantom of the Opera," prepares for its final weekend of shows.
