The musical sensation is the longest-running show in Broadway history. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber debuted his play on Broadway back in 1988.
Mayor Eric Adams gifted Webber a key to New York City to honor the famed composer's contributions to Broadway.
"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. Webber is considered by many to be one of the most successful composer in the history of musical theater with 23 Tony Award nominations and six wins.
