Akron Children’s was honored to welcome Broadway star Sandra Joseph on June 23. Sandra spoke to over 100 donors and supporters about the importance of making connections with those things in life that inspire them and help them thrive. It was truly an inspirational evening that helped connect attendees with the amazing stories at Akron Children’s.
Everyone was then treated to a surprise when Sandra’s husband and fellow Broadway actor, Ron Bohmer, who played the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera, joined her onstage to share stories and songs from the show.
Sandra starred as Christine Daae in Phantom of the Opera for 10 years and more than 1,300 performances – making her the record holder of the longest-running leading lady in the longest-running Broadway show of all time. Ron starred as the Phantom, as well as many other roles on Broadway.
Thank you to Sandra for sharing this memorable evening with us.
