Trumpeter Lowell Hershey has played over 10,000 performances of “Phantom of the Opera,” which ends its historic run on Sunday.
" ends its historic run on Sunday, trumpeter Lowell Hershey said he will pretty much do "the same things" he always has, with one small caveat.There are currently 27 full-time musicians that make up the orchestra at the Andrew Lloyd Webber classic, 11 of whom have been with the show since the very first day it began its run at Broadway’s Majestic Theatre in 1987.
Hershey is a Wichita, Kansas, native who eventually made his way to New York. He was accepted into The Juilliard School, and by the time he was 24, he was already substituting for full-time musicians in Broadway shows. He played for "Follies," "Hello Dolly," "Big River," "Fiddler on the Roof," and another Andrew Lloyd Webber show "Jesus Christ Superstar.
Now that it’s closing, Hershey said it’s "disappointing." He’s going to miss his colleagues the most.
