In 2010, Keegan played Monsieur André in the Broadway company of Phantom and returned in different roles in 2013 and stayed with the Broadway company on and off for 10 years in many roles while also being a Phantom understudy. He was in the closing cast of the Broadway company its last 2 years. During the show's last two weeks, Keegan alternated in the title role with Jeremy Stolle and Laird Mackintosh while principal Phantom Ben Crawford was sick.[3][1]
