The Phantom of The Plaza

I've been a huge fan (or, as some say, phan) of "The Phantom of The Opera" since I heard the original cast recording back in 1988.  I also run a web site for the show's current star, Hugh Panaro.

So, it always make me smile to randomly encounter something Phantomy in an ordinary, everyday setting. 

Yesterday, on my way to run some errands, I spotted this portrait of the Opera Ghost in the Concourse of the Empire State Plaza.  It's part of an exhibit of student art being held there this week.
