Sort of old news but I think it deserves unofficial acknowledgement:

"On Monday evening, Jan. 9, 2006, Andrew Lloyd Webber's award-winning musical The Phantom of the Opera will become the longest-running show in Broadway history.
The performance will be number 7,486 -- surpassing the current champion Cats, which held at 7,485 shows..." The full article is here.

After a long, long, long while Jim is on tonight as the Phantom. In fact, he began about 30 minutes ago. If you live anywhere near 44th street and you can run fast, you just might be able to make Act II!
