We tried to see Phantom at the Fox Theater here in Atlanta. And I actually just joined the Broadway season for next season. The season's run from May to May, I think, on regular Broadway. I'm not sure about the Fox, though. I think it may be about the same. But we tried to go see Phantom years ago, but we're both so distracted. It was when we were trying to buy our first house.
