Sandra and Ron have been called “Broadway royalty” and “a real-life fairytale romance.” They met on the stage of the Kennedy Center Opera House just moments before stepping into their roles as the Phantom and Christine in The Phantom of the Opera and fell in love - both on and off the stage - in 1997. Nearly three decades later, their story has transcended Broadway stages and concert halls worldwide into a 20+ year marriage and professional partnership.
